I promised to share how was made my 'Hydraulic tiles 'block : Dutch Tiles quilt was called ,<br />
I can't explain all the process, not almost in the way Corey Yoder does...she explain in her book all what you need to do, all steps for a good success making petals applique , she is great , it worth it to buy the book !!<br />
<br />
Regarding my Tiles quilt , have you ever seen flooring tiles that you wanted to make a quilt with the pattern shown ??<br />
I did, many times in old churches , in old floors of Modernist houses in Barcelona ..it remembers me new patterns for quilts to do. I took photos many times, and at the end ,this book allow me to make it in a proper manner<br />
<br />
Once I bought the Corey Yoder's book ' Playful petals' I started testing with others prints fabrics from my stash , measured and final block are the same 12 1/2 inches.<br />
I used paper backed fusible web..if it is lightweight that's ok for cotton fabric , but if it is a bit thick consider to trim the centre fusible of the petal at the back , this eliminates extra bulk.. (do see at the pics )<br />
Also you will iron open seam allowances for the petal , so that makes a nice block<br />
<br />
Starting now to show the way ...follow me please !<br />
<br />
**But beforehand IMPORTANT TIP ask yourself what do you want to get a HIGHLIGHTED square or a highlighted circle , which is your preference ? do see what I mean:<br />

<br />
do see the difference , I will show you that one but my final decision was to make much more remarcable the circle at the Tiles quilt , this one :<br />

<br />
1- Making the block (12 .5 " final ) do make first the background :<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FvMa-nBSziw/Wi0ie1VHBAI/AAAAAAAAKos/76NSkPlA0jks1iZmSq1Ezm0EGMZEjqyYwCLcBGAs/s1600/1%2Bmaking%2Bbackground.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="912" height="538" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FvMa-nBSziw/Wi0ie1VHBAI/AAAAAAAAKos/76NSkPlA0jks1iZmSq1Ezm0EGMZEjqyYwCLcBGAs/s640/1%2Bmaking%2Bbackground.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Cutting diagonally 6 7/8 inches square you will get 2 HST for the sides..repeat for the 2 sides more untill get 4 sides of the 9" blue square ..this is the basics of the block<br />

2- Making 4 petals for the block by combining 4 dark prints with 4 lighter colours in order to get contrast :<br />

**IMPORTANT ....before to cut the petal shape ...should be added fusible web at the back of the 2 strips joined by an open and press seam allowances<br />

<br />
This is a lightweight fusible web...no need to trim at the back , but ...<br />
avoid multiples layers by cutting the centre of the fusible web petal if it is thick , you will need only sticky fabric around the petal before to make blanket stitch , after finished block<br />
do see here a closeup what I mean :<br />

More than 1 year without visiting and posting my blog...oh Gosh, time flies by!!<br />
So, trying now figure out how does it works.... (giggles) I would say I forgot it !!<br />
<br />
I want to show and share with mad sew people that can be interested my last quilt .<br />
It is a quilt made with applique technique 'fusible web ' , I bought the book from 'Corey Yoder Playful petals ' book ...<br />
I felt in love with one quilt pattern called 'Sunshine and clouds', so mine is a variety of what is shown in the book , I added binding and is largest . I used 'Dutch garden Cornerstone fabric collection ' ,vivid yellow and blue colours that gives the layout tiles, at less it seems to me so ! So I called Dutch Tiles Quilt, here there is the final result .<br />
I will post the link in case an intermediate quilter wants to know how was made, it is not a tutorial but you can make it an idea ...so, enjoy the view!<br />

Lately I have a customer in my Etsy shop that wants customized curtains. That's me , this is the most I like to do in my studio. She explained to me what she would like and was a feast to me thinking on it.<br />
She wanted a curtain for another room, (she is a returning customer, in Atlanta ) she sent to me pictures of the window (as usual, I always ask for), she wanted this time red embroidery for the initials on off-white and dark linen combination for the panel .<br />
<br />
Please do see what she got and how nice it is the personalised details I made for her.<br />
The initials are : G + L in a Gothic design I have from my books . I really love the result , imagine in her place, at home it was a dark day, my shoots are no good , and I don't like to keep the curtains at home, I know my customers are excited to receive their purchase asap, and see them hanging at home . I'm really glad when they sent to me a shoot of the curtains hanging at home. many times they do !<br />
<br />
Isn't it marvelous to have, not only a business contact but also complicity on doing something that 'both' likes, and I have to say that many, many times I get compliments that make my day !<br />
This is what I'm working for ! I hear that many people have stress on Sunday night, you know what I mean !LOL It is not my case, many sundays I'm working at home , delighted to do that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here we go, bad shoots, but you can make an idea, in case you want a customized curtain that no one has the same ! ( in a World where all is standard and massive done ...)<br />

Thanks to Erica for the opportunity to dress 2 rooms in their home . This is my saying: ' to dress a window is to dress a room' , although their house is beautiful !!<br />
<br />
This was the first time I made a design in one curtain that it was made several times in a cushion ... (giggles) Be open to whatever comes !!<br />

Hi there, a lot of pending information here , which I'm busy lately and I cannot post as much as I wanted, a pity because if I'm posting starting some quilts , and of course, the finish should be shown , it makes sense !!, For instance, I would like post now, what happened when I was finished my last one ... the 'Magic squares ' , it was finished as a decorated bottom bedspread...<br />
also if there is a log table, rustic wood table, can be as a Table topper or can be hang as a Wall tapestry in a landing , up the stairs.. why not??<br />
<a href="http://tallerdelino.blogspot.ie/2015/09/assembling-magic-squares.html" target="_blank">Here</a> you can find how was started as a Tutorial 'Assembling Magic Squares'<br />

Today's post is about Reclaimed.<br />
I like distressed , I like the mark of ages, simulated the pass of time in any furniture I get , but also, as a 'fabricaholic', I like to give new chance to those fabric I get at anyplace ...sometimes, I saw in a Ric-Rac a piece of fabric, or a ready-made cloth and suddenly I see what could be at home ! That happends to me when I saw this apron...I imagined this print fabric in my reclaimed studio chair..<br />
Take a look , never neglect what a piece of cloth could be ,<br />

The apron was quilted and the roint flowers match perfectly with my furniture at home.<br />

<br />
This armchair was lost in a second hand furniture, price was very cheap , matching with my bedroom's wardrobe, I gave it a chance with an old velvet dress (dark green) for the backrest,<br />
and for the seat fabric from an old cushion :-) No bad , isn't it???<br />
<br />
But I wanted, a few days ago, make it all the same look ,<br />

<br />
I wanted to take advantage of leftover in my stash .<br />
<br />
Hope that can be inspiring for you.. never be afraid , give it a try , practice , practice and practice, you will find your own style !!<br />
<br />
Happy week you all ! I hope to meet you soon here, with new ideas to 'practice' LOL<br />

<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thanks to pop in and your interest !</div>Taller de lino / Linen artisanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14543187450803793481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848432981737335464.post-55848186047194946312016-02-10T16:36:00.000+01:002016-02-11T10:32:18.819+01:00Spring is coming , let's dress windows !<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I haven't post since ages . I miss already as a blogger to be in touch with what is going with my colleagues and explain with pictures what is new in my studio 'taller de lino'.<br />
Linen is my passion , and I know, when my customer receive any curtain at home, they are surprise how nice it is hanging in place, buying by internet has sometimes a bad surprise, not only about colours but also about measures .<br />
In my case, honestly I have to say, is just the opposite , they leave a review sharing the nice experience to have at home Irish linen curtains enhancing windows , whenever they are living, the enjoy the new look of their windows .<br />
From small windows measures for a cottage or big size for a Sash windows in town houses, linen curtains with drawn-work never disappoint , in a Bay window looks gorgeous , but also it is so nice when is small and cute , make by measure , by hand, with care and only for you, those curtains highlight any room ,because the light throw the linen is magnificent , its texture allows filtering light without cover the outside view, often a nice garden.<br />
<br />
I would like to share some shoots I tooke of my job , here in linen artisan atelier, and after how they look at home , here we go !<br />
<br />
<br />
1/ making off :<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lBsLG5twX1s/VrtOz3p6UVI/AAAAAAAAHF4/kMo_O2xko6s/s1600/IMG_5744.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lBsLG5twX1s/VrtOz3p6UVI/AAAAAAAAHF4/kMo_O2xko6s/s640/IMG_5744.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2/ Finished at home , taking a picture:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9VD9TpfDPzI/VrtPVuENDrI/AAAAAAAAHGA/ZxHGO4vnDmg/s1600/Cris%2Bref.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9VD9TpfDPzI/VrtPVuENDrI/AAAAAAAAHGA/ZxHGO4vnDmg/s640/Cris%2Bref.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
In my bay window , shoot from outside front house.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IFFbCD-5rAc/VrtPYNviAsI/AAAAAAAAHGE/TrJpivkpZ6g/s1600/Cris%2Bref%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IFFbCD-5rAc/VrtPYNviAsI/AAAAAAAAHGE/TrJpivkpZ6g/s640/Cris%2Bref%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Detail , please take note that is the reverse side of the curtain , but still a clean work to show :-)<br />
<br />
3/ At customer window , hanging at home :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0_olW2MZ5Y/VrtRGIlFVDI/AAAAAAAAHGY/tBC3wkg-od0/s1600/IMG_5135.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0_olW2MZ5Y/VrtRGIlFVDI/AAAAAAAAHGY/tBC3wkg-od0/s640/IMG_5135.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It is a bad picture, I know, it is during the night , but actually can be seen how nice they are together , isn't it ?<br />
<br />
When I ask to my clients to take a shoot at home, I'm not asking for the best one, otherwise they will not sent a picture .It is all right if they want to share with me the good experience :-)<br />
<br />
If what customer wants is Linen and lace , not problem at all, I have a wide variety of designs I can make for you , the only I need is time, all my job it is handmade, as shown above picture.<br />
An example could be :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thanks to pop in and your interest !</div>Taller de lino / Linen artisanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14543187450803793481noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848432981737335464.post-35482890399801020182016-01-04T00:36:00.002+01:002017-06-22T09:40:56.133+02:00My Angel wolf Cendra passed away this morning <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
You might think that I haven't been here for ages to explain something about my stitches.<br />
Today is not about sewing but about life, about love for those little sweethearts (4 paws)who always lived with me at home, one of them has left me today, Cendra, she lies in the land of the garden of my best friends .<br />
I will always love her, I will always remember her elegance and smart look , as a husky she never barked , but her eyes spoke to me in different ways for what she wanted.<br />
I feel a great void and some consolation because the end was peaceful ,<br />
I feel so sad and tired,<br />
dogs are like sons or daughters that do not survive us,<br />
that is the hardest part to live with my best friends dogs..<br />
<br />
I always will love you Cendra , you are in my mind with : Nord, Ros, Nina, and all those whom I have the joy to love .<br />

<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thanks to pop in and your interest !</div>Taller de lino / Linen artisanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14543187450803793481noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848432981737335464.post-53049993936971088512015-09-01T18:05:00.000+02:002016-03-07T11:19:31.197+01:00TUTO :Assembling Magic Squares<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I called this project 'Magic Squares', starting with a humble 'Charm pack', in my case: 1 print Ch p. plus 1 plain white Ch.p. it looks like an intricate work but it isn't .<br />
As many of my inspired Quilt, I found this one in Missouri Star Quilt Co. whom I'm subscribe, I felt in love since I saw this pattern<br />
I would like to explain here, in case you like it .<br />
<br />
1/ As said I only use, so far , 2 Charm Pack : 1print and 1 plain white cotton fabrics<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First separate into 2 piles 2 of the 4 HST you get cutting sq.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
5/ You have now 2 piles, proceed to join as said : sewing 2 faced prints and sewing 2 faced white<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6/ To show what I mean I joined same prints but actually what I made was to sew randomly prints HST to get variety in a single block, 1 Block = 2 rectangles so far<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">4 different prints in same bloch</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
7/ Trim ears and excess to get accurate rectangle, press all the sew allowance same direction<br />
<br />

Randomly<br />
<br />
8/ You will have now 2 piles : 1 pile rectangle join prints and 1 pile rectangles joined by white<br />
Next step for the layout in the block it is join 2 rectangles (4 HST) one of each as it shown next pic<br />
IMPORTANT all of them the same direction you will join 4 of them in a clockwise pattern to complete the block of this project.<br />

Hello all !<br />
A quick reminder what is going on at the 'Grandma embossed Pinwheels ' Tutorial, quilt mentioned in my <a href="http://tallerdelino.blogspot.ie/2015/08/grandma-pinwheels.html" target="_blank">last post</a>.<br />
Although I'm doing 2 top quilts at a time , crazy yes ! and working in my customised <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/linenartisan?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">linen curtains</a> too, I like to change jobs when I'm working in my studio, too much time in the same intricate work it is a bit tired so, changing is stimulating for my (giggles)<br />
<br />
My blog has been neglected for some reason I have explained last posting, now my family are on holidays that gives it to me an extra time :-))<br />
<br />
Some pictures of my recent advance about bordering the Grandma quilt .<br />
It will be ready for 'motion quilt' but thinking on NO covering what is the most important in that one : embossed pinwheels, I'm proud enough how it turned out ...<br />
Let's say it is my own design, I respect so much my quilter's fellow from whom I'm learning , but I like to give a personal touch :-))<br />
Here we are :<br />

It has been a long way since the last post in my blog. Lot of time without been in touch with my personal quilt, craft and hobby, one at a time ! Well, I mean , I was working, of course, but not posting and writing as much as I would .<br />
<br />
First of all, after moving home, I stared an edible garden which makes me feel more than happy, as a vegetarian I like to take from my garden my dairy food : lettuce, rocket, mustard leaves , magetout , spinach<br />
We have planted an apple and cherry tree, quercus, lot of flowers, climbing and rockery plants too. Our small garden it seems now much more green that was before..that's important to me.<br />
<br />
But the most important in our lives it has been the birth of Gina, Gina is a wonderful girl, nice and quiet (quite big now, after 2 months it seems to me LOL ) I went up and down, following her day by day, it seems so fragile when a baby is born !! Now she is on holidays , visiting the rest of the family :-))<br />
I'm now coming back to my blog, I want to show you what is going on in my studio.<br />
Work has been crazy lately, doing curtains and more curtains and I'm feeling like I'm away on any update from my Etsy Irl Team, others teams at Etsy web, Blog readers, quilting ... etc etc . Even thought, we cannot be everywhere at once, can we ??<br />
<br />
I will show you the process of the quilt I'm doing now. Quilting is the best way to keep creativity going.<br />
I want to share my own design , probably is out there made by other quilter, but I wanted to made a 3D Half SquareTriangle (from now on HST ) in a Pinwheel pattern . I love Pinwheel, as shown in most of my Quilts, I made before a 3D Log cabin , I really enjoyed see<a href="http://tallerdelino.blogspot.ie/2014/06/highlighted-log-cabin-log-cabin-con.html" target="_blank"> here</a> , in the Quilter nomenclature called as 'Prairie points ' .<br />
Then instead to do a normal 'picket fence ' block, with 3 bars jelly roll which join them comes up a Pinwheel or Diamond in the centre , what I did was fold the square in a half and sew the entire fabric in HST shape<br />
I have to face the bulk's fabric issue..but I think it worth it to try something different.<br />
See here my trials and results , first I decided the block , after the 3D HST<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkT2E_S_GXs/VcYXsDMcxaI/AAAAAAAAGyM/2JCMK9hO-cI/s1600/A%2BDiamond%2B%2B-%2BCopy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkT2E_S_GXs/VcYXsDMcxaI/AAAAAAAAGyM/2JCMK9hO-cI/s640/A%2BDiamond%2B%2B-%2BCopy.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is the usual HST (picket fence ) in a 3 bars jelly roll to get a Diamond in the middle<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
join 4 blocks comes up a <b>Diamond</b>, as said or what I did was this one:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T_zTuv3g_6c/VcYXtbGVjhI/AAAAAAAAGyY/TmpiOo_TpnM/s1600/B%2BPinwheel-%2BCopy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T_zTuv3g_6c/VcYXtbGVjhI/AAAAAAAAGyY/TmpiOo_TpnM/s640/B%2BPinwheel-%2BCopy.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
the layout is a Pinwheel after join 4 blocks the same:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But I wanted even more... make them on 3D , embossed HST and highlight pinwheels over all<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Here mine, I used 'Le bouquet Francais ' fabric from Moda French General.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My trick to go faster: first of all<br />
to sew all Jelly roll 3 strips, total width achieve is 6.5" then you will cut squares section of 6.5"<br />
<br />
Once I have done, I sewed up triangles in its place.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, of course, I have to undo<br />
a bit for that, but it worth it !<br />

I used the plain colours of Jelly roll to make HST gathering Pinwheels<br />

Hi all. Here something I promise long time ago, promised to share my experiences about my first Applique , I mean my first choice on decided what technique, (it is crazy to learn every chance ) my first choice on going for an African look, only made an approach with small quilt.<br />
<br />
My friend Althea, is originally from South-Africa, she ask me for animals cushions with applique, she show me some ideas , but after all I had to do with colours giving life to shapes , How come ? How can you give life to an Hippo with fabrics ? limited if would be grey, isn't it?<br />
And what about a Lion? How can I do to give him personality and relevance ?<br />
<br />
Althea (Larry , her husband) and myself , we are happy enough with results , never counted time on do it , cause I was excited starting a new challenger and pleasured playing with all those Batik fabrics, my first time too on use them !!<br />
Here , as usuall, no exactly a TUTO but and idea HOW was done :<br />
<br />
1- FIRST of all ,<b> designing</b> and<b> making an sketch</b> : 'The Lion's head'<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5zRxRsh-fUg/VVrotptMbuI/AAAAAAAAGk4/MyQL7tmeXIs/s1600/IMG_4761.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5zRxRsh-fUg/VVrotptMbuI/AAAAAAAAGk4/MyQL7tmeXIs/s640/IMG_4761.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2- Building pieces and <b>giving a number</b> to each one , cutting them:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T2FWdZRnSxU/VVro-Y5xpRI/AAAAAAAAGog/DvEkH5Yase4/s1600/IMG_4758.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="394" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T2FWdZRnSxU/VVro-Y5xpRI/AAAAAAAAGog/DvEkH5Yase4/s640/IMG_4758.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3- Assembling and Piecing with Batick fabrics : <b>sticky fabrics.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
I wanted to do it with <b>Bondaweb,</b> actually is a material's glue,<b> it is web's glue</b> mounted on paper (as white tracing paper)<br />
Drawn your design to tracing paper for reversing the piece .. keep in mind you want at the end<br />
a glue piece fabric on a background in the same way was created but <b>STICKY.</b><br />
When Ironing facing web onto fabric's back (heat over the paper) allows you to glue web on fabric, neat no stain, you will get stronger fabric in order to cut all that smalls intricate shapes .<br />
<br />
Next I did was peeling paper , you will have sticky fabrics (at the back) to place fabric in your background, first step is done ! In my case was coulored head lion on white background.<br />
<br />
Now you will get temporary fix it on place for sewing a blanket stitch , zig-zag or whatever choice to finish design , ......hope will be understandable :-)<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that being Batik fabric, back and face are the same , for beginners is quite helpful .<br />
<br />
Here a image about reversing, could be easier to understand (good images helps more than explanations :-))<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3TVD6ob3QCg/VVr1viFduII/AAAAAAAAGpk/ceZw31sHgZo/s1600/IMG_4765.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3TVD6ob3QCg/VVr1viFduII/AAAAAAAAGpk/ceZw31sHgZo/s640/IMG_4765.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
drawn reverse scraps , 'mirror effect' <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tR8LB3aUdV8/VVr1vrozfEI/AAAAAAAAGpw/7VUcgFAxERA/s1600/IMG_4763.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tR8LB3aUdV8/VVr1vrozfEI/AAAAAAAAGpw/7VUcgFAxERA/s640/IMG_4763.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here I show you drawn pieces number 6 & 7 transported to mirror effect onto Bondadweb<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CG0j3zvZ_Uk/VVr1vjIJ7sI/AAAAAAAAGpo/Owprmtk7WfM/s1600/IMG_4764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CG0j3zvZ_Uk/VVr1vjIJ7sI/AAAAAAAAGpo/Owprmtk7WfM/s640/IMG_4764.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Right ? Easy ! How to do it ? cheaper in a glass window :-))<br />
<br />
4- Time to <b>put in order : from A to B </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tg62d3hK4XY/VVr6yasWaDI/AAAAAAAAGqE/mGE2U7qLwOA/s1600/IMG_4767.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="446" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tg62d3hK4XY/VVr6yasWaDI/AAAAAAAAGqE/mGE2U7qLwOA/s640/IMG_4767.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
To get from A to B , you will need to make prior step : reverse your pieces drawn onto Bondaweb's paper and when cutting, ironing onto fabric .<br />
<br />
And...Voila ! the result is quite happy in my first experience ...I do my best<br />
<br />

Hi all, I want to share some news , I'm proud enough how that curtains turn up !<br />
If I can say : Linen is wonderful and drawn-thread-embroidery (called drawn-work too)<br />
never disappoints , never fails me ..because fits to any decoration style, but as always said in my blog: Stone and Wood are the best partners to join Linen fabric .<br />
<br />
You will see below the curtains in a different context, when I will have pictures from the owner I will share here ! much more better, such design was made for one customer, one house ..that is important to me : made with care, putting my thoughts into that family :-)) honestly.<br />

However , I like to make pictures at home before sent them in order to have as much samples as I could to explain to my customers for their choice.<br />

<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thanks to pop in and your interest !</div>Taller de lino / Linen artisanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14543187450803793481noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848432981737335464.post-85128747555533554912015-03-14T11:56:00.000+01:002015-12-17T10:55:38.094+01:00Beyond the simplicity of linen lives a warm heart...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Happy New Year .. <br />
Yes I have not written for ages ! Almost 3 months.<br />
I have been very busy moving home, and as you know it is a mess, getting all the stuff in boxes..<br />
I like simplicity and easy life, therefore always looking for not having tons of items surrounding<br />
and taking space. Despite that , we had too much.<br />
<br />
As many of you know, if you are following this blog, Linen Artisan creates Linen projects that try to be timeless pieces, pieces that you can keep for ages and generations, yes ! As I said several times in my blog, this Natural and vegetal fibre lasts forever, it is 2 times stronger than cotton and coexists with human being since the beginnings .<br />
<br />
Curtains in my Studio are the most requested, I'm proud to say that my Linen drawn-work curtains are around the World : USA, AUS,Canada,Sp,UK...<br />
Saying that, it doesn't mean I'm running a big business, and having somebody to help me , on the contrary !<br />
My work is absolutely handmade, and I have only 2 hands :-))<br />
As an average, I can make 2 of them in a week, if they are large size, if it is small, maybe 3 .<br />
I do like using my hands and always had ! But since 20 years ago , Linen is my passion.<br />
All I can do with Linen, I do it .<br />
<br />
Linen makes home warm and cosy (and fresh in Summertime ) Each design is for me an opportunity to reflects of needs and desires of my customers .That is the most important to me :<br />
Creativity for the love on making a house an inspiration where to live.<br />
<br />
Sharing with you my latest crafts:<br />
<br />
1- Pictures from a makeover Armoire/ Wardrobe for my bed room, restored Antique wood that I remove the heavy mirror door and change it for my linen curtains...Can be an idea for you as well !<br />

<i>Hi every one ! we all are preparing our coming soon Christmas Holidays ... and as every year, most of us are preparing too a to-do-list , dreams that we have in the end of a bucket, and want next year open it, move it ...re-move it , which if you are as I am ...every year I'm reviewing what </i><i>is still in the bucket...LOL</i><br />
<br />
Hola a todos , supongo que estamos con el trajin de las celebraciones , la comida de Navidad y la reunion familiar (para aquellos que somos una corta familia...abrimos nuestras puertas a los amigos y eso lo hace especial tambien ). Si sois de mi estilo, con el Nuevo anio va a empezar tambien los deseos de hacer aquello que quedo en el fondo del cajon para el anio siguiente ..lo revisamos, lo sacamos , le damos vueltas e intentamos, esta vez si, realizar nuestro suenio.<br />
<br />
<i>I'm not speaking about unrealistic dream, this is a blog from a 'needlewoman'...what I want is all about stitching, news projects that get me a new learning...I love that ! trying to learn with creativity.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Pero no hablo de suenios y grandes pretensiones, como es un blog de costurera, me refiero a proyectos nuevos , nuevas cosas por aprender...eso si me place ! siempre buscando alguna novedad.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>But now..meanwhile I'm going to make the list and I let you know in the next post, please take a look what I've done this week ..just something we all need to wrap nicely jewelry or smalls presents that need to be find among tones of papers , cards, laces and so on the tree mat :-)) my advise is put them in a cotton bag, clutch or purse , you might find them in Etsy for example , even though I'm offering you look<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/linenartisan?section_id=16459674&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1" target="_blank"> that ones</a>...aren't they gorgeous ???</i><br />
<br />
Por ahora, mientras voy haciendo la lista de deseos para el proximo anio, os dejo con unas fotos de lo que estado haciendo ultimamente, proyectos utiles, sin duda, para pequenios regalos que no pueden perderse en medio de papeles , envoltorios, lazos y targetas a pie del arbol , mi consejo para estas fechas, envolverlos en el interior de estos saquitos puede ser una presentacion original y que va a ser util a fin de cuentas<br />

Es lo que tiene esta temporada para nosotros los artesanos, acumulamos trabajo en estas fechas<br />
de Navidad, una buena oportunidad de dar a conocer lo que hacemos con mimo y lejos del trabajo masivo impuesto por esta sociedad de consumo que sacrifica la Calidad y lo personal vs precio.<br />
<br />
Con el Comercio (injusto) que ahoga al pequenio productor artesano , si no estas en una via de Distribucion que hace el 'camino' por ti , lo cual implica en muchas ocasiones doblar el precio de tus productos, pues tienes doble trabajo : <b>'hacer algo distinto '</b> de tus colegas, ofrecer artesaia creativa/exclusiva/personal<b> y saberte vender</b>, arto dificil cuando estas horas y horas intentando lo primero , buscando la manera de ofrecer al consumidor 'exigente' que busca Calidad en producto 'diferente' y que le lleve a querer comprar lo que en definitiva significa tu negocio: amor por lo artesano, hecho-con-cuidado , una especie de slow-made-love...podria acuniar este 'imaginario' inspirado en el slow-food , que significa mucho mas que la traduccion<br />
de estas palabras ....<br />
<br />
Para estas fechas pues, realizamos pequenios detalles que enamoren y acaben comprando para regalar.<br />
Aqui os dejo con unas ideas de mi Taller.<br />
<br />
************************************************************<br />
<br />
Christmas brings with tones of work for artisan people, a good opportunity to let customers know how is our job, caring all details to make it exclusive and personal far away from mass production from a Consumer unfair Society sacrificing Quality vs price.<br />
<br />
Distribution is the most important some times for us, but that means increase 2 times (double)<br />
item's price...that is quite impossible most of us , finally we do all that promotion work on website :-))<br />
<br />
I have done small pieces on Linen that you will fall in love in a reasonable cost to make a gift or caring yourself..<br />
<br />
Hope you like it !<br />

Este individual es sin duda para los amantes del estilo Retro y de quienes nos gusta las tazas de porcelana estilo Ingles, ademas he usado una tecnica nueva , para mi, de transferir una imagen del papel (impresion NO laser) a tejido (Lino), me encanta el aire Vintage/ Retro que se puede conseguir con esta tecnica. Existen varias paginas web , donde generosamente, puedes descargar las imagines e imprimirlas, en mi caso estoy con <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/" target="_blank"> the graphics fairy</a> con esta web las posibilidades son infinitas..ahora mismo encontraras cantidad de Santas e imagenes de Navidad preciosas y con ese aire antiguo que , a mi, por mi edad ,me lleva lejos en el tiempo :0 !!<br />
<br />
Pues os dejo con las imagenes de mi recien estrenado 'individual' , a ver si os anima a probar la tecnica del Transfer.<br />

<br />
For those who loves Retro style and Vintage images , this table mat would be great to match a china cup over it , English style for a Tea pot Transfer image technique that I got from the <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/" target="_blank">graphics fairy</a> Textiles are from Cath Kidston fabrics , cotton fabrics with a traditional look-like that combines all the flowers retro style . In case you like that mat I hope would be inspirational for your next project.... let me know if so ! :-))<br />

<br />
If I do say so myself , I like how the Southern light invades everywhere and comes full of charm<br />
That seems to me when in my mind I'm thinking on Mediterranean sunlight covering vineyards, warm colours ,orange and red sky , it makes unique landscape .<br />
<br />
I love so much the Winter too, yes I do, I like when cold mornings are grey-blue, not red but special light atmosphere makes an enjoyable day to me and invites me to be warm at home .<br />
And I love, the comings days , the Christmas holidays , the fireplace lighting the room... I remember my childhood at this time<br />
<br />
But, what I want to share today, is my last quilt that have been busy making a new process (for me) sewing semicircles... (it make sense for you? ) As a beginner it takes me a lot of patience !<br />
<br />
I think is a kind of 'lost-Summer-days' project, I wonder, why instead make a Christmas one I do prefer make a table toper full of bright and colour as a Summer Sunny days ?<br />
The answer maybe is that I find Christmas time ephemeral , flies by ! and always was for me, maybe my effort, requires a project for the whole year...LOL<br />
<br />
I want to share not all the tutorial (as usual) because I will let you know the original link later on , but I will explain how I do 'step by step' the 'new process' in my case.<br />
Shoots of the complete quilt (at the end) are made in a winter day, it was foggy, sorry about that.<br />
<br />
Here we go :<br />
<br />
1- TEMPLATE that I made, as usual, with cardboard (giggles !)<br />

Ah ! <a href="http://www.sharonhollanddesigns.com/orange-peel-table-runner" target="_blank"> HERE</a> you can see my inspiration , an expert and talented quilter , thanks to her and her explanations , abailable in PDF.</div>

En caso no hayas visto mi ultima <a href="http://tallerdelino.blogspot.ie/2014/11/news-after-long-pause-novedades-despues.html" target="_blank">entrada de ayer </a> explicaba el encargo que me ha mantenido ocupada estos ultimos dias al tiempo que terminaba un Quilt,en principio, pensado para colgar en la pared de mi nueva casa, como tapiz.<br />
Me encantan las telas que combine con las 'cestas de flores' (que la verdad, no recuerdo el nombre de estas, hace tanto tiempo !) pero los cuadrantes (charm pack) que acompanian las cestitas (baskets) es 'Vin du jour' de 3 Sisters from Moda fabrics ..me sigue gustando como el primer dia y creo que la combinacion de ambas, ha quedado bastante acertado ..que os parece ?<br />
<br />
He aniadido como teminacion una franja (border)de estampado en pequenias flores rojas sobre azul-grisaceo, la misma tela que he puesto en la trasera .Las juntas de la esquinas son en inglete , el tutorial lo obtuve de 'Fat Quarter shop' donde Kimberly explica los pasos a seguir<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMWQABZwis8" target="_blank"> aqui</a> lo podeis consultar .<br />
*************************** *******************************<br />
Y <b>esta entrada </b>es , en realidad, para enseniar como quedaron las cortinas terminadas, ayer mostraba un esbozo, en casa quedaran preciosas, piedra y madera, son la mejor combinacion para el lino. En las fotografias , les falta logicamente, su marco incomparable !<br />
<br />
Aqui os lo dejo...espero q sea de vuestro interes.<br />
<br />
Saludos, hasta el proximo viernes :-))<br />

<i>You can always use those leftover trimmed at the back of your last quilt.. mine were created after finished the big star block , making 'flying geese' , <a href="http://tallerdelino.blogspot.ie/2014/09/i-have-done-lo-hice-erasable-pen-for.html" target="_blank">here </a>if you missed the post.</i><br />
<i>I had a pile of triangles , same size ( more or less) for that reason was a bit intricate to match all those Pinwheels that come up in a pattern that I found in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqZjkwOglAs" target="_blank">Jenny company</a> , from Missouri Star Quilt Co. called 'Pinwheels snowballs' , as I said several times, I'm a fan of that amazing woman. </i><br />

Nunca tiro los valuosos restos de cortar los 'flying geese , por ejemplo, del ultimo quilt. <a href="http://tallerdelino.blogspot.ie/2014/09/i-have-done-lo-hice-erasable-pen-for.html" target="_blank">Aqui </a>el post.<br />
He amontonado una pila de triangulos que , segun un nuevo<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqZjkwOglAs" target="_blank"> tutorial de Jenny</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqZjkwOglAs" target="_blank"> </a>a cerca de 'Pinwheels Snowball' he podido hacer para los blocks de mi ultimo proyecto: un pequenio individual, o centro de mesa, segun convenga. Se que no es la mejor manera de hacer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekYpJzHoW6E" target="_blank">'molinillos' </a>(sus astas) pero vale la pena si os gusta usar esos 'preciosos retales' , os dejo el enlace de M.S.Q.Co si quereis partir de '0'.<br />
Os dejo con las fotos y ya me dires que os parece...<br />

Erasable pen for Quilt <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
He marcado un quilt con boligrafo 'erasable'.. se borra en contacto con el calor de la plancha.<br />
Lo compre en <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kilbora-Quilt-Shoppe/203563793071772" target="_blank">Kilbora shoppe,</a> y he confiado en Anne-Marie, porque me merece toda la confianza ..porque esta super bien de precio, cansada de ver estos boligrafos a 6 y 7 € , me parece demasiado por lo poco que suelen durar .. la addicion a la tela vale, pero ir sumando herramientas y mas herramientas ..al final es una ruina, no una terapia , ja ja<br />

Que tal vuestro verano ? espero que lo mejor posible a todos quienes leeis este blog.<br />
Por mi parte, estoy deseando que llegue el invierno, frio y lluvioso y no tenga mas remedio que encerrarme en el estudio.<br />
Con este tiempo soleado, saco mis caballetes y trabajo al Sol...una delicia, pero muy lento !!<br />
De todos modos, no quiero que parezca que estoy con una severa adicion enfermiza...pero lo estoy !!!<br />
hace solo un anio, mejor disfrutarlo..que caramba ! ya se me pasara.<br />
<br />
Queria mostraros lo que fue un amor a primera vista, hace tiempo lo tenia en mi lista de tareas ..esas que vamos acumulando las que tenemos esta rara enfermedad ... yo por lo menos, trabajo mas con deseos que con las manos...uixxxx !<br />
<br />
<b>Este es el Quilt terminado esta semana</b> ..lo empece con miedo..no sabia como abordarlo, una tonteria no ? al final decidi hacerlo mas pequenio, y listo en una semana (con Sol y todo)<br />
Me sigue gustando como el primer dia.<br />
La tela es 'Midwinter reds' by Minck and Simpsons , <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/227295332?" target="_blank">dejo el enlace </a>por si quereis el PDF del patron ,<br />
unos 7€ , no pude encontrarlo libre/gratis, por eso no puedo ponerlo hoy aqui , pero si alguien se enamora, se lo mando por e-mail. Hacemos un intercambio !<br />
Esta muy bien explicado (en ingles) y es la primera vez tambien , que segui paso a paso un esquema..no soy yo muy fan de eso. Siempre voy a mi aire, rompiendo un poco las reglas.<br />

<i>Hi there, I hope you all are well after the Summer time ..</i><br />
<i>I have done ..is my first time,, I have used an erasable pen , it leaves with the heat...</i><br />
<i>I did because Anne-Marie, whom own a<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kilbora-Quilt-Shoppe/203563793071772" target="_blank"> quilt shop </a>called Kilbora, you can contact her on facebook, </i><br />
<i>she is great and she has affordable prices... is a funny girl ! LOL</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>What I show today is finished right now, I fell in love some time ago, and was for a long in my to-do list ..I still love it !</i><br />
<i>I bought the pattern in PDF downloable <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/161273166/nantucket-quilt-pattern-by-minick-and?ref=shop_home_active_9" target="_blank">here </a>, Etsy of course ! cost 7€ but it worth it , has good explanations..it was my first time as well, because I'm not a fan of follow step by step something</i><br />
<i>done, I like to break the rules.... (or maybe I'm not able to follow properly step by step ..could be !) LOL</i><br />

Find me sitting and sewing mostly of the time , the rest, if it is a sunny day, sitting and sewing outdoors :-))<br />
Let's get more cheerful ! let's get a stitched week !<br />
<br />

I will 'see you soon' ...<br />

Este Agosto esta marchando muy deprisa para mi, con apenas unos dias de vacaciones , aprovecho el trabajo que va saliendo, y como no es ningun esfuerzo trabajar en el sol , rodeada de verde , al contrario del frio invierno que me encierro en el estudio..pues voy haciendo trabajitos como las hormigas..por si viene un mal invierno...:-))<br />
Al grupo de los viernes que he desaparecido por algunas semanas..os dejo lo ultimo.<br />
Gracias por vuestro interes.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Not only about patch and quilt are my sewing days, also I have been busy with my Linen, my other passion. Linen is for me a blank canvas where I can turn it on into a beauty.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I confess however, that making drawn-work embroidery is such beautiful and amazing result.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I'm so thrilled because I had commissioned project ,designed in between customers and I.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>They contact me and ask for advice , that is great for me ..absolutely customized project in a World that you can find almost all Ready-made is a privilege, make a project for those who value and appreciate a handmade-bespoken project.</i><br />
<i>Also is a project thinking on them and their needs, far away from massive and standard items.</i><br />
<i>Many of you that are reading this post, you know what It means..isn't it!</i><br />

<i>************************</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
En este blog no solo encontrais mis trabajos en Patch and Quilt, tambien lo que me mantiene ocupada muchas veces es el "Blanco como un lienzo " del tejido de lino. Cuando se trabajan las telas del patch y sus colores, siendo en si mismo un hermoso projecto donde mostrar tus habilidades en combinar formas y colores, hay una garantia de resultado, te gustara mas o menos..pero es en si agradecido. Con el Blanco del Lino tienes un reto, aunque confieso que el trabajo de vainicas lo realza casi-todo.<br />
<br />
Estoy contenta por algunos trabajos de encargo, donde la cliente y yo acordamos el disenio, les gusta que les recomiende el projecto final adaptado a sus ventanas. Creo que en la era del consumo masivo, esto es un privilegio.<br />
Muchas de vosotras sabeis a que me refiero !<br />
<br />
Sin mas preambulos espero que os guste.<br />
Estoy preparando un tutorial /<i> I'm doing a Tutorial about it ...hope finished soon !</i><br />
