A bright future

Sotul meu a implinit 51 ani acum citeva zile ...

My husband made 51 years a few days ago....

Il iubesc neconditionat, etern....
I love him unconditionally , eternally....

De aceea am petrecut citeva zile ( si citeva nopti, deasemenea :)) ) cosind un cadou pentru el. Stiu ca ii place verdele ( uite aici un alt cadou verde pentru el ) si ma intrebam ce as putea sa ii cos....Si mie imi place verdele, dar mai mult in gradina. haha....
This is why I spend a few days ( and some nights,too :)) ) sewing him a birthday present. Knowing that he loves green ( check out another green gift for him here ) I was wondering what to sew....I love green , too, but mostly ( only ? ) in the garden. LOL.

Luna trecuta am cumparat niste carti de patchwork de la prietena mea Geta, care mi-a trimis alaturat si citeva reviste. In una din acestea am gasit un tablou textil lucrat in tehnica "fundatie de hirtie". O tehnica pe care nu am mai lucrat-o. Ce greseala , sa incepi o piesa mare intr-o tehnica noua.... dupa atit de mult tatting, eram prea increzatoare in mine ( rusinica ) . Acesta este inceputul :
Last month I did buy some quilting books from my friend Geta, and she sent me some magazines along. In one of them I found a wall-hanging worked in paper-foundation technique. Something that I never worked yet. What a mistake, to start something so big in a new technique.... after so much tatting, I was way too confident in me (blush-blush)

So here is the start :

Pina acum, totul a mers minunat....chiar dragut, as spune.
 Until now, everything was flowing....quite pretty.

Apoi asamblarea finala a fost un moment de "Hmmmm..."

Then the assembling was something like "Hmmmm..." 

Dar scoaterea hirtiei a fost un razboi al nervilor, un fel de moment de monolog continuu , nu foarte delicat....un foarte lung monolog  :D . 

but tearing out the paper was nerve wrecking, something like a wtf moment ....a very long monologue moment ( blush )  . I was almost desperate that I will not finish in time....

Si totusi, multumita acelor milioane de bucatele de materiale pe care Geta mi le-a trimis in timp, ( multumesc inca o data !) , bucatele care au fost cusute intre ele pentru a ajunge in aceasta piesa, si multumita unei reviste care mi-a dat ideea , finalul este acesta : 

Still, thanks to all those millions scraps of fabric that Geta sent me ( thank you, again and again ) and that were sewn together in this piece, and thanks to a magazine that gave me the ideea, the final is this : 

Are dimensiunea de 75cm x 75 cm , este lucrat in metoda fundatie de hirtie, asa cum v-am mai spus inainte, ( o metoda cu care nu voi mai lucra niciodata-niciodata o piesa atit de mare ) , are vatelina de poliester si spatele din pinza alba. 

It has 75 cm x 75 cm, worked on paper-foundation method, as I previously told you, 

 ( something that I will never-ever work again in such a big piece ) , polyester batting and white backing. 

L-am intitulat " Un viitor luminos" : toate dorintele, ideile si realizarile de azi , converg spre un centru insorit - un viitor luminos - de unde reflecta inapoi pentru o viata mai buna. 

Ca o predictie. 

I named it  "A bright future " : all the wishes, ideas and accomplishments of today , converge into the sunny center - a  bright future - from where they reflects out for a better life.

Like a prediction .
