New quilt (2nd and 3rd blocks)

Hello dear readers!

I'm in process with my new quilt. I've already defined colors and make a few pictures of the further quilt.  I decided to collect many different crafts making this quilt. I'll have a few parts with embroidery and applique, the rest ones will be hand scraped and quilted.  

 The second patch is umbrella I made it because of rainy climate in the city where we came from.

The colors of the quilt you can show here, this patch was made by hand and wasn't competed because I haven't bought the main fabric yet. It's too humid outside last three days so I don't want driving to the shop. Hope to get there tomorrow.

Thank you for your visit. Enjoy your day. See you soon.

Foxes' pillowcases and new tatting project

Hello dear readers!
These New Year holidays were very busy. My mother in law were with us here and we were traveling a lot and I didn't have enough time to sew. In spite of this hot time I could complete my  pillowcases, so here they are

I love them a lot because I like the orange color. The foxes' personage for these pillowcases came to my mind when I saw my friends' dog, I love this dog so much and she looks and behaves like a fox.
When we were in the eastern part of Sydney I found an interesting fabric shop, prices there were reasonable and I bought fabric for tunic and dress for my daughter. As decorative element for the tunic I decided to make tatted lace. So I've started the process and made one element.

The pattern for this element I took here. This blog belongs to a very talented  woman. Thanks her a lot for this pattern. I couldn't say that it's very easy pattern, it's necessary to know how to make a cluny leaf. I specially took a lesson for it last week. So it's not difficult when someone explain. I've got a good explanation, many thanks Lyall, my teacher.

Thank you for your visit. I'll appreciate your comments. See you soon.

 I adore this owls. How cute trey are, aren't they?

 Snowflakes are made with English paper piecing way. All this surface is hand quilted.

Thank you for your visit. See you soon. Enjoy your holidays'preparation.

Summer is running

Hello dear readers!
I like this time here. Everybody prepares for Christmas. It's slightly strange for me because Christmas in European part of the world is  time for snow, cold, ice and other winter stuffs. As for Christmas here  it's time to collect fruit harvest. So all the things which I'm making at the moment reflect both summer and winter moods simultaneously. Today I want to show you a case for sun glass, I used for this case cotton Moda fabric, glass beads, and tatted decorative details.

 Yesterday my hubby and I were in the market and bought my lovely sort of mangoes. This sort is usually appears later than other but it's the best one.

 Thank you for your visit. See you soon. Enjoy your day.

 Thank you for your visit. Enjoy your day. See you soon.

Free quilt pattern

Hello!
As I told earlier my dear hubby presented me the new quilt-design software (EQ7). It's an interesting program but as all the special quilting software it has an advantages and disadvantages. I'm not a professional I've made only one big project  but if someone is interested in any review about this software and the bigger size pattern don't hesitate to ask me.  It's very friendly software and it took 2 days to clear how it works. Now let me introduce a new one patch quilt. Here it is:

The measures of this quilt is 109.500 x 88.603 (ins). It's made from 1/2 inch hexagons. This program allows to evaluate quantity of fabric. The table bellow shows it.

  So it's an useful software and my first project with it. Thank you for reading. See you soon.
