Have a beautiful day!

Sa aveti o zi frumoasa!

ia romaneasca si english paper piecing/ Romanian Blouse (La Blouse Roumaine) and English Paper Piecing

La sfarsitul saptamanii trecute, Silvia si Ortansa ne-au gazduit o intalnire de doua zile, acasa la ele, ca sa vedem si sa pipaim quiltul la care am lucrat impreuna, inainte de a fi trimis la Houston si ca sa mai discutam despre viitoare proiecte comune.

V-am mai spus ca fiecare a lucrat cate o portiune din el, asa ca, in afara de Geta, care l-a asamblat, noi celelalte, nu-l stiam decat din poze.
Pentru a-l saluta cum se cuvine pe Domnul Quilt, imbracat in costum English Paper Piecing, noi ne-am gatit cu niste adevarate ii romanesti, aduse cu mare iuteala si cu mult drag de Ortansa si ne-am pozat pentru posteritate.
Pentru ca fiecare a scris deja, despre intalnire sau despre quilt pe blogul ei (aici e Ela), eu m-am gandit sa profit de asta si sa va supun spiritul de observatie la o mica incercare.

Ce aveti de facut:

Vizitati-le blogurile, cititi-le postarile despre subiectul asta, uitati-va bine la poze. Uitati-va si la pozele de mai jos si incercati apoi, sa ghiciti a cui e ia.
Nu va ajut niciun pic!
Ei hai, ca niste indicii, pe ici pe colo, tot am lasat....
Oricum, ultima poza am pus-o doar asa, ca sa va sâcâi!

Ar mai fi trebuit sa adaug o intrebare anume, dar n-o pun. Sa vedem daca e cineva care simte nevoia!

Vreti sa raspundeti si altundeva decât in gând?
Simplu: la comentarii sau pe email.

Vreti si premiu?
Mai vedem, mai socotim, ne mai gandim....
Depinde de voi!

P.S. Nici impricinatele nu vor da indicii. Sunt sigura.

O zi frumoasa sa aveti!

I saw what horrible translation make google for this post. Where did he find here something about "cooking", I really don't know! This post in Google English is a totally mess!
ia romaneasca = Romanian Blouse in English, La Blouse Roumaine in French.

It's time! / A sosit momentul!

I had the courage to get involved in a great project: a group quilt.
The pattern was made by Geta, the organizer of this project. We are 7 Quilt Sisters: Geta, Nina, Ela, Silvia, Ortansa, Sanda and me, but we will have the occasional help of other two sisters of Geta.
The most important thing is that we have to stitch about 1250 regular hexagons and about as many irregular pieces. But what you don't know is that I and Sanda have never stitched hexagons! That's why we are a little bit worry about that. We don't want to make mistakes, we want our hexagons fit perfectly with the others of our experienced Quilt Sisters.
But Geta took care of everything and each of us have responsibilities according to his skills.
In order to be sure that all the hexagons will have the same dimensions, Geta cut all my hexagons! Both paper ones and fabric ones! A lot of hard work! 
Here is my homework, received this morning in a little parcel:

 No, it's not a cake!

It's one of my two hexies bundles!

A few days ago, I made a little exercise to "prepare my hands" for our project and I made a little hexagons flower.

I took my lesson from mistakes but because it was not so bad, I wanted to use my first hexagons-flower on something. The occasion was on hand: I was working on some shopping bags. Now one of them has this pocket:

It's time to gather all my courage and go to the hexagons stitching.

Did I tell you that every time I was looking at a hexagon quilt photo I was wondering myself "How on earth, had this lady that huge patience to cut and sew BY HAND all those thousand little pieces"? And every time my conclusion was: Hexagons? Definitely, not for me!

Definitely, huh?
Definitely....

Have a beautiful day and wish me luck!
