Por razões diversas o tempo não nos chega para tudo o que gostariamos de fazer. No meu caso, um trabalho a tempo inteiro não me deixa o tempo livre necessário para pôr em prática os projectos que me passam pela cabeça. Por isso a ideia de fazer quilts mais pequenos, alguns dos quais verdadeiros quilts de bonecas, tem vindo a tomar forma. Tenho um objectivo para estes trabalhos. Cobrir uma das paredes do meu recente quarto de costura e dar-lhe um ar mais aconchegado.
For different reasons time is not enough to make everything we would like to do. I’m a full time worker and the time I have to spend with my hobbies is limited. The idea of making smaller quilts came to my mind and for a while I have been making doll size quilts. I have a purpose for these projects. I will decorate a wall of my sewing room to turn it cozier.
But I see other advantages in small projects besides they are quicker to finish. It is very rewarding to finish a project and a small project has more chances to be finished then a bigger one. I can try more techniques and I can keep more quilts in less space.

Neste quilt experimentei uma nova técnica de "manga" para fazer paralelogramos. O quilting, esse subtil toque final, foi feito assimetricamente e os cantos adjacentes têm um desenho diferente.Tenho trabalhado no meu quilting em movimentos livres mas ainda não estou segura para o aplicar num trabalho de maior dimensão. Em breve mostrarei os progressos. A combinação de ores não é bem aquilo a que estou mais habituada mas afinal isto é um quilt de brincar e nãoum legado para futuro.
With this quilt I tried a new technique for making quick parallelograms using a “sleeve” method. The quilting, that subtle final touch, is asymmetrical and adjacent corners have a different pattern. I have been working on my FMQ but I’m still not secure to apply it on a big quilt. Soon, I will show how it goes. The colors match was another experiment. It is quite different from what I am used to. But this is just a doll quilt not an heirloom.
I like it! And so precise.
ResponderEliminarI'll bet it will be an heirloom someday! Lovely little quilt.
ResponderEliminarQué buena idea ! La pared en la que pongas los doll quilts te va a quedar preciosa, ya tengo ganas de verla!
ResponderEliminarQue bonito que está! Suponho que conheças a parede de doll quilts da Hillary :)
ResponderEliminarQue lindo trabalho!! O quilt deu um efeito muito charmoso. E a idéia de fazer quilts pequenos para colocá-los na parede é muito bacana! Vai ficar lindo.
ResponderEliminarIt is a very pretty little quilt. I think that is why I like to make little bags - because it is quick to have a finished project.
ResponderEliminarI have seen the idea of decorating the walls with small doll quilts - very nice idea.
Yo también hace semanas que estoy pensando en hacer mini quilts, sobre todo para experimentar nuevas técnicas y porque ya no sé donde poner los grandes. Además es una forma de poder utilizar restos de telas.
ResponderEliminarVoy a ver si me animo :))
Se fica assim pequenino, estou para ver em grande.
ResponderEliminarYour quilt is sure to be an heirloom someday. It is just beautiful. I like the color combination.
ResponderEliminarA wall of these small quilts would be quite an impact and be cosy. Small it is, but also sweet.
ResponderEliminarWoau!!!!! That quilt looks very pretty!!! Good work. I like work with rhombuses, I make a Star with that.
ResponderEliminarIt's a very lovely quilt.
ResponderEliminarThe corner is perfect.
ciao ciao
What a beautiful Quilt!

Your doll quilt is lovely. It's a great idea to work on smaller projects in the limited time you have for your hobbies. I am motivated by being able to finish things so it would work well for me.
ResponderEliminarWhat a lovely small quilt ! and a good way to learn a new technique !
