Liberty Pillow

I was not satisfied with my LIBERTY pillow. Laziness never pays : I had not quilted it and it looked flat.

Neither was I pleased with the back of it, done with a basic cotton instead of a Liberty one. 

As regards the sewing of a zip : for those like me who have difficulties with this step, there is the solution of linking the two parts of the back of the pillow with strings, as shown on the last picture. The result is lovely.

Now my pillow looks perfect! 😃

Sewing Sewing Sewing...

all day long!

I added three more rows to my double Four Patch top, which means 30 blocks. To complete it I need another 20 blocks... I think I rather have a break from this and start a new baby quilt for my three months old grandson : first priority, isn't it? As I showed in this post, my daughter chose various shades of grey for this quilt and I suppose it will be a pleasure for me to use soft neutral hues, after all those colorful fabrics lately... relaxing!

Antique Doll Quilt

Antique doll quilt

Today I decided to lay my little quilts and to take pictures to share them with you. This is the first one of the batch I received, and I think it is my favorite one because of its very naive look. I don't know, but it gives me the impression that it was done by a little girl with the scraps of her mother.

I love those fabrics and the pink knots.

Vintage sewing machine

I decorated this corner of my room with a vintage child sewing machine presented on the doll quilt.

Here you can see more details and the backing in a lovely grey flannel.

Have a good week everybody!

Sewing Room

A new project.

I don't know if somebody is like me, but when I take it into my head to start  

a new quilt, I have first to clean everything around me and put order in my 

sewing room. That's what I did yesterday and I think it's ok, everything

is tidy now, I can start my first block, using the fabrics seen in my post 

of last saturday. This is also an opportunity to show you some parts of 

my sewing place and stuff.
