Orange Candy Table Runner

I made an Orange flavor Candy table runner, yummy! :) And it's calorie free!

it's another version of my original  pattern "Candy Table Runner". I used our (me and my husband's) favorite colors: orange and green. I also made wider borders and that gave me the space to quilt one of my favorite designs of tulips, flowers and butterflies.

You can get the ebook(PDF) pattern on my blog, just click Buy Now link on the right sidebar.

Here is the original candy table runner:

I have so many ideas and projects I want to work on. DO you have that trouble as well? Only if the house work didn't get on the way of my sewing! :)

Stay tuned for BIG announcement coming soon.... :)

The Coffee Quilt

May I present to you "The Coffee quilt". It was done in January when I finished the binding, but couldn't share it with my blogging friends because it a surprise for my mom. She loved the quilt and took it back to Bulgaria with her. We miss her and she was a big help with the baby.

Here is a close up of the quilting on the frame. I am very happy how the quilting turn out. I think the pink thread was a good choice!

I know mom enjoys her quilt as she loves coffee ... mmmm coffee! I am going to go get some coffee!

Until next time,

Enjoy the summer!

Halloween quilt!

It's time to decorate for Halloween! I put up my Halloween quilt that I finishes last year but it was after Halloween and I didn't show it on the blog. I don't like scary stuff so this panel spoke to me. It was an easy project to do. Just added 2 borders. I think it looks pretty on the wall!

Here is a close up of the quilting. I didn't put a label, yet. That what blogs are for, right!? :)

On a recent trip to Philadelphia I spotted this flag. Isn't it cute? The store was sold out of it!

How do you like the Autumn weather where you live (if it's Fall where you live) ?

I am loving it! The pregnancy makes me feel so warm and the cool weather is appreciated! :)

Till next time, Happy sewing!

Autumn Quilted Pillow Sham and more...

I am very excited to use this new comfy pillow! I used panel in the middle and then I added the borders. I only had so much of the pretty leaves print and I added the four patches in the corners. It's still wasn't big enough so I added another border. I did some free motion stippling and the pillow sham was a perfect size to practice on my domestic sewing machine. Good job Baby Lock!

Here is the back of the sham. I used quilted fabric that I had from practicing quilting on my frame.

Here is a view of the pieces of the shams if you would like to make one for yourself. You just stitch all around and turn it inside out! I serged all around the pieces to prevent fraying when washing.

I quilted this quilt for my friend Leisa. She made the quilt for her brother's wedding. Aren't those birds so cute!

I laid the quilt on my bed to take a picture! I think it fits very nice, too bad it's not mine! ;) I do have the same panels and the patterns, so it's on my long list of quilts to make!

She used plain muslin for backing! You can really see the quilting!

Have a great day!

Thank You!

I feel so blessed and I have the best blogging friends! Karen from Sew Many Ways is doing a virtual baby shower for me! You can see her blog post here. We became friends through our blogs. Most of you probably already know her from her TTT - Tool Time Tuesday that she publish every Tuesday! Karen is one of the most giving and generous people I have met on blogland! I won one of her giveaways, too!

Thank you to Karen and all the people that have signed for the virtual baby shower!

Aren't blogging friends the best!!!

Here is the bib that I made for the baby. I just had to buy that fabric.

Scot helped me to put the snap on. I debated what kind a closure to use. I didn't want to make a button hole and a button in case it comes out lose. Do you think velcro would work better?

Here is a Autumn pillow case I am working on. I will show you the finished pillow in my next post!

Thank you and have a great day!

Gabriel's Alphabet Quilt

I made this alphabet quilt for my nephew Gabriel's 2nd Birthday. I think it will be fun for him to look at all the animals and help him learn the alphabet.

I remembered to take pictures before we shipped the quilt to him. The quilt is wrinkled because I washed it.

Here is close up of the quilting on my frame. I used a dragon tail panto that was fun to stitch.

Here are some of my survival flowers since it has been hot. Today is raining so we got some much needed rain!

As always, happy sewing!

PhD Challenge

I can't believe it's July already! I signed up for the PhD challenge (projects half done) with Myra. I had ambitious list of 6 quilts to be done. As many quilters I am working on a couple of projects at the same time. I am happy I finished two of them and I completed couple other projects that weren't on my list.

The first quilt is a charity quilt that I made for Quilts for kids. I encourage everybody to sign up and make one. You can read more about that quilt here.

The second project on my list was the Halloween quilt. I blogged about it here.

Thank you Myra for organizing this challenge!

Flintstones Quilt

I made "Flintstones Quilt" for Alice! She just turned one and probably does not know who the Flintstones are, but I am sure she will soon! We were invited to Alice's party that was circus theme party! It was a lot of fun!

I love that backing fabric with big flowers. I added a green stipe.

I like the open style quilting design I picked for her quilt. Aren't those hearts so cute!

I hope Alice will have a lot of fun playing with the quilt!

Update

I received many compliments on my Halloween quilt! Thank you!

Seems everybody that doesn't have the little frame wants one! I got the frame from my MIL shop "Happy sewing room". I asked her and she said if you send her an email at hapsew@comcast.net she can order it for you. You also get 15% discount on your special order, tell her Zlaty send you! ;-)

I plan to make a quilt for each month and I can use the frame all year round!

Have a great day!

Machine Quilting - Leaves

I would like to show a quilt I machine quilted for my friend Stacey. I used a panto with leaves. I think it adds to the garden theme.

The quilt was my LQS BOM last year. It is a very pretty quilt! Well done Stacey! I hope you like my quilting!

The quilt has both a lot of piecing and aplique. Stacey didn't want stitching over the aplique so I tried to go around where I could.

I used the same leafy panto to quilt this quilt for my mother-in-law. The quilt is a part of a set of two quilts, because this quilt is leftover from the big quilt she made. I have to quilt that one and I will show you!

It is a very pretty quilt and it looks like my mother-in-law. I hope she like the quilting. I already saw she is done with the binding and I will have to take a picture to show!

Have a great day and stay cool! It's hot here!

My Blogger's Quilt Festival Entry

I made this quilt for my friend Heather as a Birthday gift.

She had a really hard year and I though she would like a quilt made especially for her. Heather is a learning to quilt and she already made a quilt for her nephew. I am very proud of her because she even quilted it on her Singer she bought on clearance years ago. Heather is inspired to quilt more and she even upgrade to a Baby Lock machine witch I think will help her since the Singer didn't have a 1/4'' foot.

Thank you Amy for organizing the Blogger's Quilt Festival for third time! There are more then 600 entries already at the Amy's Creative Side: Blogger's Quilt Festival - Spring 2010. If you have some spare time go check it out and get some inspiration!

You can read my original post here.

I love the backing of the quilt!

Here are some close ups of the quilting. I used panto with Butterflies, tupips and flowers..

Have a great Holiday weekend friends!

Secret Quilt .... Revealed

Finally I can show the secret project I was working on. Remember the previews I showed here.

I made this quilt as a Birthday gift for my friend Heather.

Here is the quilt on my in-laws porch. I showed her the quilt and she loved it! I just have to add the label and I will give it to her!

I saw these gorgeous hyacinths in their garden. They are one of my favorite flowers! I will plant more next fall.

The fabric line is called Feline Friendship from Henry Glass. It was a free project on their site. You have to go to the project library to find it. You can download the free pattern here. I changed it a bit and added few other fabrics.

Here are few more close ups of the quilting...

I love the backing fabric and how the quilt is wrinkled after washing it.

Those tulips are in my garden. I am behind on my garden work, I hope to catch up this weekend.

Have a great weekend!
