UFO's Fun!!!




Never tought I could have had fun working on my UFO's but...I was totally wrong...
I found these 2 stars blocks  I made several years ago and decided to make something nice with them...

So...started sewing...adding something and tooking away something else...


And this is the result...2 big size mug rugs...colorful, brights and happy...





I'm so satisfied about the result and finally they are no more UFO's but...FINISHED PROJECTS!!!
YAY!!!!

Can't wait to work on the next one...already chose it... ;O)

Are you working on some UFO's too?
Would love to hear from you!
Have a nice week end!!!

Working on my UFO's

Hello my friends!
How are you going?
This morning I was looking for some fabrics in my stash and I found...a tons of UFO's LOL!!!
So...I decided to work a bit on them...



I can't remeber at all why I made these star blocks...but surely I made them several years ago...
I found along them lots of other UFO's...you know...every quilter has lots of them...
Well...I chose this block:


As you can see this block has 3 borders so I should have added another one...
But instead of add one more border I decided to throw away them all...
This was not a big block but it has a nice size and I tought I could make something cute...


So I added backing and batting, quilted it and...TADA!!!
 I made a fun washing machine cover!!!!
Finally this block has a place in my house!!!



As it didn't take me so much to finish it...I chose another block...

This one was really small but I loved it so much...
So in this case...I've add borders all around...


And in half an hour...it became a super cute pillow cover...

Doesn't it look great on my sofa?

As I told you before...I have tons of others UFO's waiting to be transformed into finished project...
So...my goal for this year is try to finish them...or at least...some of them!!!

Do you have UFO's to finish too?
I would love to hear about them!!!
I wish you all a nice Sunday and...a great start of a new week!!!
Hugs, Dany.

Sewing Sunday

Hello my Friends!!!
How are you going?
It's Monday again...the week end unfortunately went away so quickly...
But...I've had a very fun Sunday...
My friend Luciana come here and we spent the whole day sewing these super cute origami bags...


They were really so fun to make...we chose happy and brilliant fabrics and this is the result...


We started sewing one...then...the second one...and it seemed that we really can't stopped sewing them...


Every fabrics we chose gave them a different look and it was amazing to see how they turned out...
They really make pretty gifts...we can fill them with lots of things...make up, accessories, threads needles and fabrics, biscuits, candies...

I think they are perfect for any occasion...change the fabris and fill them with goodies for make a very personalised gift...
We started to fill our Xmas box with these bags and we intend make lots of other cute things from now till December so...when Xmas will come...we will be ready!!!
It's never too early to start with Xmas gifts isn't it? LOL!!!

And finally...yesterday...when my friend left my house...I finished a project that I've started mmm...I really can't remember when but...at least 3 or 4 years ago...
It was another Sunday sewing day and along with my friend we sewed this super cute box...


I sewed it all around and just leave the bottom to sew...
But...this bottom...took me soooooo long  to be done....LOL


Now..it's done and I'm proud of myself LOL!!!


I have tons of other UFO's to sew...we will see what I'll do with them...
So...I wish you all a great week and,,,I'd love to hear from you about what you are sewing or crafting...

From house to HOME


Hello My Friends,
how are you going?
I'm fine and pretty busy this week end...today housework and cooking but tomorrow...fun!!!
A friend of mine will come here for a whole day of sewing...can't wait!!!
Ok...now...let's talk about this post title...
Now...there are a bit more then  4 months that I'm living here in my new flat...
I love it more then the older one so...I decided to add a touch of me in it...
I put here and there some quilts I made in the past...
Some in my bedroom...


I've also put one on my bed...


And  fews on this beautiful wood ladder...


Some in my sewing room too...


Now I'm making some changes in the kitchen too...and I'll show you when all will set...
 I'm feeling my flat more then my home and not  simply a house...
I think it's warmer now and everyone will come  will immediately know that a quilter lives here...
What do you think?
I would love to hear from you.
In the meantime...I wish you all a wonderful Week End!!!
Dany.
