New Quilt Project

It has been a long time since I started a new quilting project. Missing quilting...

After reorganizing my closet I found various leftovers, among which those solid colors, and I wonder wether they could match or not in a new quilt. I am thinking of a simple and quickly sewn quilt like a nine patch or a four patch.

I love the four patch quilts but I always found the most difficult to match the colors, and was often disappointed with the result. Sometimes the most simple things are the most difficult to succeed in.

As regards my fabric shelves, I am very satisfied with my idea of sewing a curtain to protect the fabrics from the sun and the light. I had an old blackout curtain not in use anymore that I cut into the size of the shelves then fixed three clamps and hanged it on three nails.

After the efforts the reward : time for a big slice of Italian Panettone... with a cup of coffee!!!

Mini Nine Patch

For many years Lucy's blog was one of my favorite sources of inspiration. I love Lucy's creations and pictures. This mini Nine Patch quilt is a reproduction of one of her miniatures. It is machine pieced and hand quilted. The size is 10.5" x 8". 

Bumper and baby quilt

I received those pictures from my son and his wife, 

and it is a great pleasure for me to see that the bumper

and the baby quilt I sewed with love are of use to their baby!

Baby seems very happy under his quilt,

and happy as well above it!
