I've done it again

Cadoul pentru Mircea a fost finalizat azi...si oferit tot azi. Cu foarte mare intirziere, ziua lui a fost totusi la finele lui februarie...rusine mie!

Culori masculine ( apreciate pe deplin de el ) , fiecare patratzel cu povestea lui...amintiri din anii trecuti. Spatele alb, shifon. Vatelina de grosime 180 ! pfuuu...numai bratele mele stiu cit de greu se quiltuieste asa ceva. Daca va uitati cu atentie la spate, vedeti pe mijloc o "ramura " a la Patsy Thompson...dupa prima mi-am dat seama ca nu se potriveste acest model de quilting pentru un quilt mare. Asa ca am trecut la un stippling nici prea mare nici prea marunt ( cum "prost" imi sta mie in obicei sa fac micro-stippling pe orice)

Culmea : este tare ca o tabla...sper ca dupa prima spalare sa se inmoaie...toate quilturile mele de pina acum au finet ( flanel) pe spate si sunt moi, pufoase si foarte comfortabile....acesta este tare ca o tabla. Inca...;)

Mirceas' gift was finished today...and offered today , too. With such a great delay, still his birthday was at the end of february...shame on me!

Manlike colours ( fully apreciated by him ) , each square with its own story...memories from the past years. Back on white musslin . Batting thick as 180!...pfuuu only my arms know how hard is to quilt something like this. If you look carefully at the quilting on the bacl you'll notice at the middle a Patsy Thompson like "branch"...after finishing the first along the quilt I realized that it is not appropriated to a big quilt so I start some stippling...not too big-not too small ( small, as I have a bad habitude to make micro-stippling on everything).

Surprisingly it is hard as a piece of metal...I do hope that after first wash it will become soft ...all my other quilts have flannel ( white) on the back , that makes them soft and puffy and comfortable. This is piece of metal...still ! ;)



Apoi am meritat o plimbare prin gradina , sa miros primavara care sta sa apara...primele floricele salbatice ( nu le stiu denumirea ) si primele tije de narcise...

Then I worthed a garden walk to smell the spring that still is hidding on the corner...the first wild tiny flowers and the first daffodils leaves.





Puteti crede ce au facut cirtitzele pe gazonul nostru ???! cita munca ne asteapta...
Cine stie cum se poate scapa de ele ??

Can you believe what all those damn moles done on our grass ?? how much work waits us...
Who knows what should we do to get rid of them ???






Ca si incheiere am descoperit ca , in cazul meu, cel mai bun medicament care ma scoate din depresie este....gatitul sau coptul piinii! Acesta este rezultatul unei "sedinte" cam lungi . LOL. Intotdeauna incerc metode noi, cit mai rapide si mai simple...in acest caz am "prelucrat" reteta de la Piine Neframintata ( No-Knead bread). Simplu , rapid si foarte gustoasa.


As a closing to this post I must say that I discover the best medicine that get me out of depression sessions : cooking or making bread. This is the result of a some long-kind "session". LOL . I always make new (as simple and quickly as can be ) experiments on old bread making recipes ...here is a personal "adnotation" at No-Knead Bread recipe. Simple, quick and Yummy....
