Try a tool / Δοκίμασε ένα εργαλείο from Mania for quilts

I am copying from Island Batik relative document: “Use the Studio 180 Design tool you received in your second Ambassador box to make a quilt of any size! The tool you received is designed to make a specific unit in many different sizes, so you can work with small units to make a miniature or large units to make a large quilt. The choice is yours.

Αντιγράφω από το σχετικό έγγραφο των Island Batik: “Χρησιμοποιήστε το εργαλείο που σας έστειλε το Studio 180 Design μέσα στο δεύτερο κουτί σας και φτιάξτε ένα κουίλτ του μεγέθους που θέλετε! Το εργαλείο που ...

Try a Tool Blog Hop and Giveaway/Μπλογκοεπίσκεψη με θέμα “Δοκίμασε ένα εργαλείο και προσφορά” from Mania for quilts

I am so sorry for this happy blog post. I am sorry especially towards all Greeks, who suffer from these terrible wildfires happening in my country. But I have to post about it because it is part of my obligations as an Island Batik Ambassador.

Λυπάμαι πολύ που κάνω αυτή την χαρούμενη ανάρτηση. Κυρίως απέναντι στους Ελληνες φίλους που με διαβάζουν. Η χώρα καίγεται ακόμα συμπληρώνοντας σχεδόν μια εβδομάδα κι εγώ πρέπει να κάνω αυτή την ανάρτηση μια και είναι μέρος της υποχρέωσής μου προς την εταιρεία Island Batik, της οποίας είμαι Πρέσβειρα.

September challenge: It’s In The Bag! / Πρόκληση Σεπτεμβρίου: Είναι μέσα στην τσάντα! from Mania for quilts

It was a great pleasure to see that there was the making of a bag on this semester’s schedule. We love a lot the bag making in Greece. And I love especially Annie’s Unrein patterns. When I was asked about the pattern I wanted to make, I chose this bag that actually is not a bag, but a whole suitcase. I had made this bag in the past several times, but I wanted to see the most of the materials that Annie has in her shop. Therefore I asked for this pattern, that proved to be very wise ...

Mill House Spring Quilting In Progress from Curlicue Creations

 On my Juki today is the Mill House Spring quilt.  Before quilting begins, I always clean and oil my machine and put on a new needle.

 When I loaded this quilt onto the frame I was thinking,  "I'll just do a quick all over design and finish it in an afternoon."

 Ha! Ha! Ha!  That didn't happen.  I changed my mind and tried this new swirly onion quilting in the green outer border.  I like it.

 I accented it with small back and forth lines in the gold border.

 Here the borders are side by side.

 The hourglass ...

Island Batik Ambassador for the 3rd year and unboxing / 3η χρονιά Πρέσβειρα και άνοιγμα κουτιού from Mania for quilts

Two years ago started everything. I could not believe in the email I received then. I felt the same happiness this year too, that the number of the group got smaller but I remained in it. I adore Island batik fabrics! I adore the monthly challenges. Ok, to tell you the truth, some times deadlines torture me. Some other times I do not like the challenge. However, I keep going and learning and becoming better. I am learning by the challenges, by my fellow-Ambassadors, by the whole process. And here I am, Ambassador for the 3rd time for my favorite ...
