Ladies and gentelmen of the jury...

  ... let me defend myself!

I've been accused lately of showing little or no interest at all to the "textile matter", of "quitting the patches", of "running to a different hobby". Well, let me explain myself: I've always told that I have more than one focus, and that I like to do more than one thing :). In my defense, you can see the very motto of this blog (yes, look up, in the title, there you have it!).

Secondly, I didn't quit the patch world. At all. Just that I'm very busy, and the quilting projects tend to run a lot slower and to be much more time consuming than the others (aka jewelry, for now ;) ), that is why you get to see more of the quick products and less of the slower ones.

I have proof to sustain my afirmations:
Some quilt tops:
Boy one:

Boy two

Girl:

quilt sandwich to be quilted, for grandpa ;)

and, not quilts, but (who said it's not possible?) from patchwork fabric (oh, that yummy, tasty, mouth watering Kaffe Fasset....) two skirts for a young lady that requested "summery, colorful, twirling skirts)

aaaannnnnnddddd a preview of my insanity, side, back and front.

Why insanity, would you ask? well, that is a completely different story, that will be the subject of another post....
Till then, have fun and enjoy life!

Dreaming of tango...

I don't know if I've already told you, but I am quite a passionate tango dancer. At least, I used to be... last years of my life kept me far away from my dance love. We'll see if the future will bring us more time to go back on that lost love, or not, but, until then, I keep dreaming of milonga's (for those unfamiliar with the term, that is the tango music party, where all friends and dancers gather and share their love and joy in the dance).

My daydreaming had also a positive outcome: even if I can't be on the track anymore, maybe my earring can?

So, here you have them: the first in the "Dreaming of Tango" series (yes, I plan to make more).

Enjoy!
