Happy Mail!

When I went to visit my sons in London last March, I bought some yardages of Liberty fabrics.

The problem in Liberty's shop is that you cannot buy less than one yard, which limits you as they are quite expessive.

So, recently obsessed with those prints, I searched the web and was happy to find a very good site selling fat quarters of Liberty fabrics. The prices are reasonable and the shipping is very fast. 

These Liberty prints remind me of my youth, some are still the same as those I was using when sewing cushions for my new studio in Paris!

Have a great day!

Bonne journee a toutes mes amies quilteuses francaises!

Mini Houses

Together with the basket pattern, the house pattern is my favorite one. Although I made several basket quilts, I only did this miniature house quilt, but it is in my projects to create a large one some day...

Sunday morning is ideal for slow stitching and I finished the binding of this miniature quilt (here in Greece it is 2 pm). The size is 13.50" x 13,50".
