hot summer in italy

the summer here now is very hot so that during the day we only can stay inside the house or in the pool....
so I came up with a lot of works finished....
first  my famous 'bottleholders'- inspired by  http://www.happierthanabirdquilts.com/p/tutorials.html
thanks!!!!!


this i a present for a friend of mine. thanks to http://www.fleckchensquilt.blogspot.it/search/label/Brotkorb


and this is a little beautycase for our eldest one. she is in rom for 3 days for a competition ....
thanks to http://www.craftsy.com/classes/sale. I take some more classes this week and learned sooo much. I am so happy about craftsy, because I'm far away from everything- citty, courses and so on, but I can study and learn at home (mostly by night) and my works become more and more acceptable.


 


and last but not least: the cover for my neighbors....not perfekt but better then my last works

un passo alla volta

this week I worked sooooo much that I hardly can believe that I found some time to quilt.
but I did!! so these are my 'bottleholders' - step 2. and I hope next week will be a lot better.

questa settimana ho lavorato così tanto che quasi non riesco a credere di essere riuscita a cucire e quiltare qualcosa...ma ecco qui passo2. delle mie 'salvabottiglioni'. spero che prossima settimana riuscirò a fare un po' di più.

last week I take a class from craftsy- http://www.craftsy.com/class/free-motion-fillers-vol-1/166
with Leah DAy (http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/). so I have to try all these tricky-wibbely-wobbely FMQ-designs
some are very difficult for me and some are soo great and easy that I'd like to make a quilt right now with these designs. but there is nooo! time for new thing- first I'd to finish the  ones I started allready.

la settimana scorsa mi sono iscritta ad una classe di 'craftsy' con Leah DAy e tanti nuovi disegni da provare sui miei lavoretti. qualche d'uno veramente difficile altri cosi sympatici e facili che vorrei farne subito uno quilt. ma prima bisogna finire i lavori cominciati!!!!!
buona settimana!!
have a good time!

summer and no time to quilt

these are my latest works. I'd like to FMQuilt but befor I must prepare somthing. So, here are
1. babyquilt for a friend of mine
2.cusion for my neighbors
3.'bottleholders' for our waterbottles
I hope this week I can start, but there is so much to do in the garden, in the house,
with the kids on holidays- (they are soooo bored at home....with nothing to do.....all day long hanging out in the pool ,in the sun, eating selfmade icecream. it's realy terrible for them.)
then I will start teaching this week some friends how to make simple things on our sewingmachine, like bags, potholders ....
so I hope the next time I'm here I can show something .....
