Are you sometimes inspired by the fabric??? Do you buy fabric because you love it and have to find a project to use it in? Well as a shop owner I have these feelings most of the times we receive new fabrics … but obviously have to make a choice which one I Â will sew […]

Embroidery finished
Last year at Open Studio I was working on two machine and hand embroidered projects. Ever since that summer life has been very busy but also very quiet and a bit lazy or let’s call it restful 🙂  As the Open Studio is approaching again I thought I better finish them in case people are […]
Quilt in a day
I just love days like this … this Sunday after breakfast I put Balthazar back to bed, Jasmine saw kids playing outside, so she disappeared with a quilt and some toys to have a picnic  with her friends. Olivier left to enjoy an hour on his bike and I had an empty house. Sun was […]
Quick Easter Project
We have received several new fabrics in last few days and quite a few with Easter theme. One of them is panel with a lovely hens, all black and white with a touch of red which is such a good companion for B/W. I was just in the middle of quilting a quilt for Vectis […]

Quilt for my sister
My sister visited me last year for the first time and finally saw all the quilts I have made in real. Her husband and her loved them and wanted to commission me to make some. I said I would love to make a quilt for her, I don’t want any money, I just want her […]
Bathrobe for Jasmine

So all the hours on the computer I have spend recently were mostly replying to the emails and doing lots of instructions writing and website re-building etc. But there was never enough […]

I always wanted to make a mosaic piece, so when I saw this workshop coming up, I signed up straight away!! And it was such […]
