Fabric marking tools

When I want to machine quilt accurate and even spaced straight lines I mark the design on my quilt top. Time consuming I know … Quand je veux quilter à la machine des lignes droites précises et espacées régulièrement, je marque le dessin sur mon top. Cela prend beaucoup de temps je sais … Depending on the project I also sometime skip the marking and simply line up with my presser foot or a guide. Il m’arrive aussi selon le projet de laisser tomber le marquage et de simplement utiliser le pied de la machine ou le guide pour m’aligner…. +

Ready for 2021

I hope you are all well and safe ! First I wanted to let you know that I was featured on Create Whimsy which is a website dedicated to Crafts and speaking about makers, inspiration, tutorials and more. I was really thrilled when they contacted me early November to take part in their Spotlights topic. Well … It took me a few weeks before finding time to answer the interview questions (2020, you know … ). Anyway the article is live now and you can have a look at it here. J’espère que vous allez tous bien ! D’abord je… +

Amber Clutch

I love the simplicity of this foldover clutch pattern designed by Svetlana of SOTAK Handmade. I liked the result so much that I made eight versions … J’adore la simplicité de cette pochette repliée, un modèle de Svetlana de SOTAK Handmade. J’ai tellement aimé le résultat que j’ai réalisé huit versions … The backside has a zipper pocket. I didn’t use the technique described in the pattern though. My back panel is made out of four pieces sewn to the zipper instead of one piece with a welt zipper pocket. Le dos a une poche avec zip. Je n’ai cependant… +

These past weeks

It’s been a while since I wrote my latest post … A few events on a personal level kept me emotionally away from blogging. And in addition it is a tough year, isn’t it ?! BUT … I am still sewing to keep my mind and hands busy ! Il s’est passé du temps depuis mon dernier article … Des événements sur un plan personnel m’ont émotionnellement tenus à l’écart de mon blog. Et en plus, c’est une année rude, n’est-ce pas ?! MAIS … je continue de coudre pour garder mon esprit et mes mains occupées ! I feel… +

LOVE Design

Do you remember my LOVE quilt ? I have been wanting to reuse the same design since I finished it in July last year. Vous vous souvenez de mon quilt LOVE ? J’ai eu envie de réutiliser le même design depuis que je l’ai terminé en juillet de l’année dernière. And I finally started last week ! I decided to use only the LOVE letters at the centre of the quilt though, leaving out the overlapping letters of the background. I thought it was better for a smaller size piece. Et je me suis finalement lancée la semaine passée !… +

A new Patchwork Rug

That was on my to-do list for a while … Replacing the patchwork rug I made for my living room three years ago and which colours are a bit faded now. You can see here how it looked back in 2017. C’était sur ma liste depuis quelques temps … Remplacer le tapis en patchwork que j’avais réalisé il y a trois ans pour mon salon et dont les couleurs ont maintenant un peu passé.

Devon Pouch

A few weeks back I started to make small items to sell at our upcoming group exhibit. It is held every three years late August and the next one was planned for 2020. Unfortunately, we recently made the decision to postpone it for one year due to the Covid situation and constraints. Il y a quelques semaines, j’ai commencé à réaliser des petits objets à vendre lors de notre exposition de groupe à venir. Elle a lieu tous les trois ans fin août et la suivante était prévue pour 2020. Malheureusement, nous avons récemment pris la décision de la reporter… +

Welcome to lunalovequilts.com ! Moving my blog to this website was a long-standing project … One month ago I decided to finalize it and not to publish any new content before it is completed.
