Although things have been rather hectic around here lately, with little time for sewing, I always manage to squeeze a few minutes in.

A little decorative stitching
I am a completely self-taught quilter. Because there is no quilting tradition here in Ecuador, and because my trips back to the U.S. tend to be short and far between, I have not had the opportunity to attend a fair or take a quilting class.

Be Inspired
I’m loving my long holiday weekend! Because I now actually have something to show! Being able to set time aside not only to sew, but to actually finish something gives me such a sense of accomplishment. 🙂

Carnival Weekend
As in many other countries of the region, this is a long holiday weekend here in Ecuador, celebrating Carnival. A lot of people leave the city, particularly to go to the beach. As to myself, since I live my life doing what I most enjoy, the idea of going off on “vacation” is a strange […]

Measure it!
I’m thinking I might just have to think my position on following a BOM project. If I say so myself, our Itching to be Stitching project this year… is turning out to be fun!

Pin it!
This last week turned out to be another busy one, this time centering around visiting guests. Still, I did manage to get a wee bit of sewing in.

Still drawing
This morning I actually sat down and did some hand quilting. That’s the first sewing I’ve done in over two weeks. Because I’m still drawing, and then drawing some more.

Plans for the weekend
Time sure flies when you’re busy being busy, doesn’t it? And when you’re having fun at it, too! And I just don’t know how this last week went by in such a flash…

Fabric Folded Flowers
We have a saying in Spanish: Lo ofrecido es deuda. Roughly translated, it means a promise is a debt. So I am paying off one of my debts here. 🙂

Some printing and some coloring
If the first week of the year is any indication of what the rest of 2012 is going to look like… then I’m in for a pretty busy year!

An old project revisited
I don’t know if this happens to you, too, but sometimes when I look at some of the first quilts I made… I cringe. And in spite of the saying that practice makes perfect, I personally never feel I really “get there” with my quilting. And although I am always tempted to push myself a […]

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.
