Sewing holiday postcards makes me recalling tons of memories. Today is time for summer greetings from Genti Arruba (means Red People) island, as its dwellers call it.

From Chalkidiki with love
This fish was born in my imagination of course yet it reminds me one summer when I saw a color fishes in a warm sea for the first time. I still remember those loads of joy and enchantment which flooded me.
Tuscan summer
This simple cubist postcard’s size is only 10 x 15 cm. I realized the amount of effort needed for it just when I started it.
Under the umbrella
There was another idea and different panel before Magic with a rose, but my mum changed her mind (without even seeing the results 😉 ). I thought it would be a shame to leave it as that and so this bag was created.
A & A or… a double trouble ;)
Today it’s about a girl with hammers. I had one already before.
My girl asked me to sew a pillow for a friend of her. As a present for her birthday. I’ve got a check list containing her ‘likes’. It was rather long. To fulfill all the requirements I’d have to make rather a quilted coverlet…
Magic with a rose
This weekend was fruitful. We raided on our bikes more than 70 km and I sewed another bag. It seems that I’m getting to my usual form. And I’ve got a hunch that people will like this bag 🙂
Sinusoids
I made this work taking as a sample Gosia Pawłowska’s quilt which also made me a participant of “Sew All Around” Quilt Along 2017.
Together is better
I showed you already a bunch of owls in all its beauty. Despite them I created two more pouches and in order to keep some chronology here there are from both sides. They are similar as you see, but there are differences too 🙂
Glamour Girls
Just another summer bag with already known elegant girls. Different shape and slightly different frame. This time I joined two pictures together.
In a pottery workshop…
A kitchen quilt, which has been sewed for one particular destination. The jugs.
Some time ago there was a seminar leaded by Gillian Travis in Warsaw. I haven’t attended there but girls showed me the results and I got interested. I liked the idea of using one element all over the entire piece, as Gillian did, this could be flower, bird, fruit etc. Also joining the ready and quilted elements with thick zigzag stitches (or satin stitches as some call it). I decided to check if all this was so simple as it seemed to me.
