Ochre - "Desert sunset"

A quilt that had to participate at a competition in France but I decided not to attend given that my sewing machine let me off without any notice.I mean, it began work poorly and with all my efforts to adjust it I just did not to ruin my days trying to adjust .. It was strongly attached to the thread, it broke 4 needles, and so on...In short, it will be pensioned and I will buy a Janome how soon! Looking forward! :)
The "ochre" quilt is based on the idea of sunset in the desert more precisely on the colors of the specific and natural phenomenon. I strive to use and deals with materials that render more possible the natural phenomenon and sincerely I`m satisfied about the composition.
Technically I used rail fence quilt block adjusted for background. Curves are hand sewn in reverse applique and other elements are simple applications. The dark border are quilted with cactuses which are made in free motion technique.

Overall I like the grand result but I think I would have liked it more if I found some baticks in shades of specific ochre... the effect would have been spectacular! I had to thank with a stylized "desert sunset ".
Anyway, I hope you like the result.
Happy quilting and see you soon!!





Un quilt care ar fi trebuit sa participe la un concurs in Franta , insa am decis ca nu va participa avand in vedere faptul ca masina mea de cusut m-a lasat balta fara nici un preaviz. Adica a inceput sa lucreze prost si cu toate eforturile de a o regla nu am reusit decat sa -mi stric zilele in care am incercat sa o reglez. Si mi-a strans ata, mi -a rupt 4 ace , etc... Pe scurt, intra "la pensie" eu urmand sa-mi cumpar un Janome cat de curand! Abia astept!! :)
Quiltul "ocru" are ca baza ideea de apus de soare in desert mai exact culorile specifice acestui spectacol natural. M-am straduit sa evoc si sa folosesc materiale care sa redea cat mai natural fenomenul per ansamblu si sincer sunt multumita de compozitie.
Tehnic am folosit quilt block rail fence adaptate pentru fond. Curbele sunt cusute manual in reverse applique iar celelate elemente sunt aplicatii simple.Borderul inchis e quiltuit cu cactusi realizati cu free motion . Per ansamblu imi place combinatia rezultata insa cred ca mi-ar fi placut mai mult daca gaseam batikuri in nuante specifice de ocru...daca gaseam batikuri in nuante specifice de ocru...efectul ar fi fost specatculos! A trebuit sa ma multumesc insa cu un "desert sunset" stilizat .

Oricum, sper sa va placa ideea .
Spor la lucru si pe curand!!

small things

Bun regasit tuturor si un nou an mai bun plin de impliniri!
Cu atatea sarbatori adunate nu prea mai reusesti sa te ocupi de cusut, insa, printre picaturi am terminat totusi un mic mileu
Good to see you all again and I wish you all a better year full of satisfactions!
With all the hollidays added up you dont really have the time for sewing, but between the drops I managed to finish a doily


si ceva de decorat, nici nu stiu cum sa ii spun; e lucrat cu crosetul din lana . Apoi am folosit puncte de broderie sa il infrumusetez. La final, tot din croset i-am facut acel element galben rasucit si l-am atasat.
Nu stiu cum sa il denumesc, asa ca va rog, astept pareri si propuneri de nume :)
and some kind of a decorative piece, wich I dont event know how to name it;
it`s worked of wool .Then I used embroidery stitches to embelish it.. Finally, I did that twisted yellow item and I attached it .
I do not know how to call it, so please, forward opinions and proposals of names if you find any.




Si un buzunar pentru pampersii Karinei pe care l-am prins de patut si imi este la indemana si am economisit si spatiu de depozitare; poneiul e cusut manual cu puncte de broderie pe panza alba. Mi-a facut placere sa-l cos :)

And a pocket for Karina`s diapers that I hooked it on the crib and is at hand and I saved storage space too;the pony is sewn with the embroidery stitches on white canvas.It was a pleasure to sew it :)


Acum lucrez la Firul Ariadnei care va fi terminat curand.

Now I`m working to the Arriadne Thread which will be finished soon.
see you soon!

Happy Holidays to all!!

Here that another year has passed over us... with good or less good things we got to its end and get ready to move into a new year, maybe a better year, in which we will be, perhaps, wiser, more patient, maybe we`ll know how to get better over the issues that life bring us and maybe we'll smile more bearing in hearts The Lord who will soon celebrate the birth.
I`ll wish you all happy holidays and have a light Christmas and peace in your souls!
We`ll see each other, again, in the new year that is knocking on our doors!:)
Lord bless you!



Let`s remember about Him...some inspirational videos and good songs. Enjoy!



An inspirational video and an amazing voice..JOSH GROBAN! :)




Iata ca inca un an a trecut peste noi... cu bune sau cu mai putin bune am ajuns la capatul lui si ne pregatim sa trecem intr-un nou an , poate mai bun, unde vom fi poate mai intelepti , mai rabdatori, poate ca vom sti sa trecem mai bine peste problemele care ni le aduce viata si poate ca vom zambi mai mult purtand in inimi imaginea Celui caruia, in curand, ii vom serba nasterea.
Va doresc tuturor sarbatori fericite si pline de bucurii si mai ales sa aveti un Craciun luminos si pace in suflete!
Sa ne vedem cu bine in noul an care bate la usi !:)
Domnul sa va binecuvanteze!

Am obosit...
