DNa. MANUELA'S SECRET PROJECT
Finalmente acabou o quilt secreto. E, fez o quilting todo sozinha. Mas, nao quer mostrar a ninguem com receio que reparem que as 50 flores que quiltou sao todas diferentes. :) Ficou lindo. Este foi todo feito pela Dona Manuela do principio ao fim. :)
FAT QUARTER BUNDLES...
I've been a little busy latelly with the show, my mom's vacation and just generally very busy days at the store, so I haven't had a chance to post any news... Here are pictures of some of the bundles, unfortunatelly the larger one is no longer available - I sold them all in 3 days. I still about about 4 each of the smaller ones that have 14FQ. // Tenho andado um bocado atarefada com a FIA e as ferias da minha mae... Em geral, dias muito ocupados na loja. Nao tenho tido oportunidade de colocar fotos. Aqui estam fotos os molhos de FQ (Fat Quarters +/- 50cm x 60cm cada fq). O maior ja nao esta disponivel. Dos molhos mais pequenos ainda tenho ums 4 de cada. :)
FIA -- My first Crafter's show
Just hanging out.. This was at the very end of the night.
SMILE!!
Angela was bored, so she went out to take some pics...
No one was bored here... the TEAM was working at full gas: Dna. Manuela (The calculator), Sofia (Bag Lady) Dan (Angela's assistant) and Angela (the Cutting lady)... :) Me... taking the picture -- I had nothing to do - I didn't fit on that side of the stand. :)My new project...
So many quilt tops, and no time to quilt... Yet another quilt top to add to the bunch...
Algumas fotos desta semana...
A sofia AINDA tem mais uns meses de remates; a Ines a planear o proximo projecto; a Dna Paula com um LINDO avental;
E Uma aluna nova MUITO entusiamada com o seu primeiro projecto... :)The 'Blue Lady"
Can anyone guess why we call this lady the "BLUE LADY"? Today we had so many nice projects nearing an end and I didn't have a chance to take pictures of them all. :(
You can see how she used up her left-overs in the back // Alguem consegue adivinhar porque chamamos esta senhora a 'BLUE LADY" (senhora AZUL)? Hoje tinhamos tantos projectos perto de acabarem, mas tristemente nao tive tempo de ir tirar mais fotos... mas aqui esta um projecto que foi feito com muito carinho e amor...
My favorite basket...
Danny took these pictures of my basket... I just can't help thinking of a basket full of flowers every time I look at it. :) By the way, for those who don't know, these are fat quarters, we sell them for 2,50 euros each. // O Daniel tirou estas fotos.... Cada vez que vejo este cesto lembra-me de um cesto de flores... Para as que nao sabem, isto sao FAT QUARTERS e custam 2,50 euros cada.
I wish I had my cat's life...
There is nothing that I can place on my worktable that my cat does not test out... from the look of it, this soon to be quit is pretty confortable. :) The cat slept for over 8 hours on this spot. :)
Blocos da Anabela (Feijo)
Estive a ajudar a Anabela a cortar estes blocos dos panos das rosas... ficaram todos lindos. Mal posso esperar pelos outros que a Anabela ficou de coser ate sexta-feira. :) // I helped Anabela cut these blocks from Rose Pillow Panels, they came out beautiful. Can hardly wait until Anabela brings all the sewn blocks by friday for the next step. :)
BLoco "DAISY"
O bloco da Isabel... O bloco "Drogado"
O Bloco da Dna. Paula "O bloco quase centro"
O bloco da Anabela...
O bloco do Daniel... "O bloco por passar"Some of the colors we dyed this Sunday...
Just look how bright they came out. Anabela, unknowingly, used a cotton 'BLEND' fabric and her colors came out lighter (see them in the far back /top of picture), but still VERY beautiful... Her's came out more PASTEL. Be careful when someone says it's 100% cotton... it may not be.
As cores da Anabela sairam mais clarinhas... PASTEL... porque venderam-lhe tecido como sendo 100% algodao, e aparentemente tinha alguma mistura. De qualquer modo, as cores ficaram igualmente LINDAS. Tenham cuidado quando compram, conven ser uma loja de confianca. :)
RAINBOW!!! ANOTHER RAINBOW!!!
Here it is... a 'man' made rainbow...
Ursula rinsing out her fabrics... Think she liked that Purple.
Rinsing out the fabrics made for a whole new rainbow... I really do have a weak spot for color!!! I could not stop with the OHHHHHHs and AAAhhhhhss .
Anabela hanging her fabrics up to dry... it was a tad windy so they dried pretty fast.
Just look at all the colors... recommend this workshop to EVERYONE... THANK YOU ANGELA!!!! :)
ESta quase. quase.. .quase...
Que tal com a nova maquina? Agora so precisa de tempo 'livre' para praticar. :)
DNa. MANUELA'S SECRET
My mother's secret... she's been working on this all week... I suspect day and night. She's always in a hurry to get home so that she can make a few more log cabin blocks... I think she missed the 'senior dance' today just so she could work on the quilt. She doesn't want anyone to see it until it's finished (luckily, she doesn't know how to use the computer or the internet). :) By the way, she needs a volunteer for the quilting ... she has no intentions of doing anything other than the quilt top. /// O segredo da minha mae.. Tem andado a trabalhar neste quilt toda a semana. Suspeito que dia e noite. Anda sempre com pressa de ir para casa para fazer mais uns blocos de log cabin. Penso que perdeu o 'baile' de domingo para poder trabalhar no quilt. Ela nao quer que ninguem veja o quilt ate estar acabado. Felizemente nao sabe usar o computador nem a interenet. :) Precisa de uma veluntaria para fazer o quilting, so quer fazer o quilt top.
AULA DAS BONECAS -- DESTE VEZ FOI O GATINHO
Everyone loved the kittens... they didn't take long to finish and are very cute, even Sofia and Ines fi
nished one each. Congratulation Sofia (yellow cat), it was the first time she sewed by hand.:) // Todos gostaram dos catinhos... Nao levaram muito tempo a fazer, e nao sao dificeis. Parambens SOFIA (gato amarelo)... pois foi a primeira vez que coseu a mao. :)
