Our friend Elena invited us to her house last week for our Thursday sewing circle. She lives in one of the valleys that surround Quito, and with the heavy traffic up and down that road (the same one we take to the hospital, remember?) it takes a while to get there. So a visit to her house is pretty much a whole day outing.
As soon as we got there everybody got busy with their sewing.
As usual, everybody does handwork, except for Elena who prefers sewing by machine. We were able to get a glimpse of what the quilt she is working on will look like on her bed. She has finished the top and now needs to add the borders and quilt it. Love the colors!
And then there were the regular munchies with coffee, and a delicious vegetarian lunch, too!
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I love to dye my own fabrics, am a fanatic of free-motion quilting, and dabble with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
