Nut-lady & quilt

Mascota mea " Nucutza"...in culorile mele preferate. Nucile sunt fructele mele preferate, dupa alune si pere...

My mascote :"Nut-lady" wearing my favorite colours. Also my favorite fruits: nuts, after hazelnuts then pears...
Si un quilt in aceleasi culori....ati ghicit pentru cine e de data asta ? pentru MINE, bineinteles!! LOL.

And a quilt in the same colours...did you guess for who's this time? well, of course, FOR ME!! LOL. Nu este gata, mai are nevoie de ultimul border si apoi urmeaza cea mai frumoasa parte : quiltuitul.
It's not ready yet, it still need the last border and then I will begin the most beautifull part : quilting it.

Am primit aceasta minunatie inainte de Pasti...un cadou minunat din partea Getei.

It's no need to talk more...it says ALL.

o zi de munca primavara

Privirea de dimineata.

The morning wiew.
Si am sarit in gradina de legume...unde am o noua umbrela....

And I jumped into the veggie garden...where I have a new umbrella.
Un ajutor "valoros" la toata munca. ;)))

A great value helper do all the work. ;)))
Privire spre casa...

A sneak wiew to the house...
Si spre seara iarba este tunsa de un specialist adevarat ;)) Multumesc, dragoste!

In the evening a really specialist is mowing the grass.... Thanks, love !
Si el se bucura de acelasi "ajutor" plin de patos. ;)))
And he's enjoying the same great help in work ;)))

completare

Gata. Merita critici aspre...dar asta e: graba strica treaba! :((
Well, it's ready... deserve hard critics... I'm not so happy with it . This happens when something is rushed off... :((

No ladybugs, just some dogs

Nu am gasit "bubuluze" dar am gasit niste catei simpatici .

Nu stiu daca voi fi in stare sa il quiltuiesc in aceasta noapte...sunt prea obosita! daca nu, atunci...

I didn't find in time a ladybugs fabric but I did find some cute dogs.
I really don't think I can quilt it tonight...I'm much too tired.... if not, then ..."tomorrow is another day". - Scarlett O'Hara.

Hen pincushion

Pentru ca prietena mea trebuie sa apara din clipa in clipa - la o cafea ;)) - i-am facut o pernitza pentru ace : o gainusa. Ei ii place sa coase dar se plinge ca nu are timp...o inteleg dar poate asa o stimulez! LOL.
My friend is to arrive in a couple of minutes for a short coffee so I've made her a "hen pincushion" to stimulate her work. She's in love with sewing but she often complained the lack of free time...( understandable...)
Modelul l-am luat de aici, este FREE.
The pattern I take it from here, it's FREE.
Nu-i prea place sa fie fotografiata din profil...dar uite ce frumos sta totusi! ;))))
She didn't like to be in a photo from a side but look how pretty is she smiling :)))) O idee grozava penrtu cadouri mici de Paste, nu-i asa ?
A good ideea for Eastern small gifts, isn't ??

today's table runner is finished

Table runner-ul de azi este gata si dat cadou deja . Citeva poze finale cu el . De ramas-bun...
Today's table runner is finished and already gifted... Here's a few farewell last photos ...
Hanged on
Intins pe canapea - nu e locul lui recunosc dar imi place cum se "completeaza" reciproc ;))

Lying on the sofa - I know it isn't the right place for it but I love the "team" they make ;))

Spatele :

The back of it :

Impachetat ...simplu...
Ramas bun si viata lunga!

Wrapped as a gift...simply....
Good bye and have a long life!!

today's table runner

Asta am lucrat asta seara: un table runner - cadou pentru ziua de nastere a cumnatei mele. Miine trebuie finalizat si cadorisit, evident. ;))
This is what I worked this evening - a table runner, as a gift for my sister-in-law birthday. Tomorrow it must be ready done ( quilted) and gifted, of course. ;))

Are dimensiunea de 110 cm * 42 cm. Interesant pentru ca in realitate din model rasar niste "mori de vint" pe cind in poza apare cu totul altceva...nu-i asa ??
It has 110 cm * 42 cm. Interesting that in practice it shows some "wind mills" and on the other side ( in the picture) it appears something totally different, isn't it ??

Candy was gifted

Candy gata.
Candy is finished.

A fost daruit in week-endul trecut
It was already gifted last week-end.
Cu ocazia zilei de nastere a prietenei mele, Katy Strempel :
With the birthday occasion of my friend : Katy Strempel.
Si se pare ca sub orice quilt te fura somnul ;))
And , it seems that under any quilt the sleep is coming fast ;))

Candy

Preocuparea din ultimele zile : Candy. Stiu ca are un nume copilaresc dar parca vad niste bomboane impachetate in staniol colorat cind ma uit la top...;))
My last days preocupation : Candy. I know it's a childish name, but when I'm looking at, I can see some sweet candies wrapped in rose foil ... Do you?

Si mai de aproape...
Closer...
Si intins pe pat.
And lying on the bed... Este deocamdata doar top-ul, sper sa reusesc sa ma incadrez in timp si cu stratificarea, quiltuirea si marginea.Astazi sunt scurta, scuze...;)) prea mult de lucru pe linga casa, doar a venit primavara, nu ?
It's just the top , for now, I hope to make in time the quilting and border. Today I'm very short, sorry, too much to work around the house, the spring is here, no ?

the 1st of March... for my love

Cum era un UFO ( obiect neterminat) prin atelierul meu ( si nu-i statea bine deloc in stadiul acela) am terminat o inimioara movulie pentru dragostea mea...pe post de martisor! A fost impresionat...mai ales ca nu am folosit "tzintzele" ( margele, in termen popular de-al locului). degeaba i-am explicat eu ca tocmai "tzintzelele" dau farmec ...deh, optica masculina!;0)

As I had an UFO ( UnFinished Object) in my sewing-room ( and wasn't pretty at all in that stade) I did finished a mauve crazy-heart, for my love...as a Martzichor! He was quite impressed...above all because I didn't use "tzintzele" ( beads, in a very local-popular way of speaking). Anywise I did explain that the beads give the charm for a crazy heart, wasn't good enough....well...male point of wiew! ;)

edit in 2015 : this heart is still here, in my studio, hanging on my soft work-board... this means I do love it deeply ! I remember several people asking it as a gift... it is still here with me.:D . After 8 years is looking as good and nice as in her first day of life. Question : does it mean that, somewhere deeply in my heart, crazy quilting is a favourite ? :)

Smaranda Radici-Bourgery , buna mea prietena care nu a uitat ca imi plac la nebunie dovlecii ( bostanii) ;0)) . Surpriza a fost kitul pentru ATC cu petale, margele si snururi .
My dearest friend which didn't forget that I LOVE pumpkins ;0))). The surprize consist in the ATC-kit containing petals, beads and ribbons.

Va multumesc tuturor din suflet! Emotia drumului la cutia postala si bucuria unor plicuri contind CEVA este de nedescris.....este ceva ce intrece INTERNETUL.;0)))
Thank you all of you, from the bottom of my heart. The emotion when I'm going to the mail box and the happiness keeping in hand all those envelopes with SOMETHING inside is indescriptible...it's something above ( bigger than ) INTERNET. ;0)))

o ultima incercare ( a last try)

O ultima incercare : o inima crazy.
A last try for a crazy heart.

Unfinished here, yet.... It became later a heart hanging pillow gifted to a friend.

another 2 martichors today

Azi au mai sosit doua martisoare : primul de la Tatiana Iarchi - Israel, vesel si colorat insotit de o carte textila plina de zimbete. Multumesc, Tatiana!
Today I received another two martzichors : the first is form Tatiana Iarchi from Israel, coloured and happy toghether with an ATC full of smilies. Thank you, Tatiana!

De la Adina Popescu care mi-a mai strecurat in plic pe linga martisor si cartea textila, un fluturas - sashiko pe care trebuia sa-l termin.
From Adina Popescu , who slipped into my envelope along the martzichor and the ATC a small sashiko butterfly, that I suppose I had to finish.

Si cum "trebuia" la mine inseamna ACUM (LOL), uite ca e gata :

And for me the meaning of " I had to..." really means : "NOW" (LOL), look it's ready:

Si ca sa fie gata-gata l-am transformat repede in carte postala:

And to be ready-ready I made an ATC with it :

Multumesc Adina! mi-ai oferit clipe de liniste cu gindurile insorite deasupra capului in timp ce iesea la iveala fluturasul...O amintire atit de frumoasa...

Thank you, Adina! you offered me peace moments with the sunny thoughts flying above my head while the butterfly was born...such a lovely memorie...
