Quiltcon 2022 – Part 1

Quiltcon, the convention dedicated to Modern Quilts, was held in Phoenix (Arizona) this year and I had the chance to attend it again. It is my favorite quilt show not only for the unique quilts, the ambiant enthusiasm and the lectures (I attended eight !), but for the positive and friendly atmosphere that makes it so special. So I am going to start this recap by sharing the work of my friends. Quiltcon, la convention dédiée aux Modern Quilts, a eu lieu cette année à Phoenix (Arizona) et j’ai eu la chance d’y participer à nouveau. C’est mon exposition favorite… +

Il y a quelques semaines, j’ai montré des photos de mon premier essai de montage d’un quilt sur un canevas. Voici le lien sur l’article au cas où vous l’auriez manqué. Bien que j’étais assez contente du résultat, j’avais quand même envie de faciliter la… +

Boxy Pouch – Custom order

As I mentioned in a previous post, I got a custom order of fifteen Boxy pouches from one of my cousins. She filled them with home made cosmetics and gifted them as Christmas presents. Comme je l’avais mentionné dans un article précédent, j’ai travaillé sur une commande personnalisée de quinze pochettes Boxy pour une de mes cousines. Elle les a remplies avec des cosmétiques faits maison et les a offertes comme cadeaux de Noël. She decided to take the two pouches I already had on hand and, for the thirteen others, chose an accent fabric from my stash for each… +

J’ai commencé la semaine dernière un nouveau projet qui est une série de mini quilts Impro. J’ai décidé d’explorer le motif HST (triangle demi carré), inspirée par quelques quilteuses que je suis sur Instagram. La liste n’est probablement pas exhaustive… +
