New Quilt Project

Fabrics leftovers

Panettone

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!!!

String Quilt Blocks


String quilt

This week-end was very busy with gardening, cooking and finishing the string blocks. They are now ready to be sewn, and I expect to receive the fabrics I ordered for the sashing and backing.

Gardenia

Tonight I baked a panettone for the quilting bee party tomorrow at home. Waiting for it to be cooked, I took this picture of the beautiful gardenia that my daughter offered me on the first of May. There are great smells in the kitchen : the gardenia flowers mixed with the smells of the brioche almost ready.

Panettone

I always have a little anxiety opening the stove, shall I have a bad surprise... no it's ok, it seems perfectly baked!

Panettone

We shall taste it tomorrow morning with a good cup of coffee. In the meantime I wish everybody a great Sunday evening!
