My coasters in a treasury

 Recently I have no time to write here, but look at my coasters I have made

They were made very easy with method of reverse application. Other ideas with different shapes:

Puzzle patchwork ball - what do you like

 Some days I tried to discover a tutorial to make such ball and finally did it.

Thank you, Kathy!

I started cutting and sewing and after about 2 hours I have these beautiful colorful elements.

Then began more interesting part of making the ball - to collect all the pieces.
One hour later I had this.

Playing with the ball I discover that every three elements can turn outside and the ball looks like pyramid. I added buttons and the ball turns into real puzzle. The buttons are hidden in usual look and when turn over you can see them.

 This is a gift for a blind girl, that likes playing with something in her hand!

Next baby quilt

I made the top earlier this year (almost before two months), but was impossible to finish it.
Too much work to do. But finally I have did it and am satisfied with the result.

With much love for my friend

Next birthday gift! A messenger bag for my lovely and sweetest friend.
Linen fabrics, Patchwork, free motion embroidery, two pockets, magnetic button closure and adjustable strip.

 

Combine all this an you will see the finished bag.
I added some Yo-yo and buttons for a beautiful look.

Birthday gift - a brooch and a card

How Organza turns into a nice flower brooch with a button in the center?
With help of a burning candle and imagination.
This friend likes very much turquoise color, so the card has been created at once.

 Hope she will like them!

Alice in Wonderland Bulgaria

My English neighbours came for one month holiday. I have a present from them - The Encyclopedia of quilting and patchwork techniques by Katharine Guerrier. So lovely.
I had made surprise for their two children - little patchwork creations.
The older girl - Alice goes to school and has a task to describe the holiday in Bulgaria in a scrapbook. So I decided to make this blank book as a present.

For the front cover I made a Bulgarian scenery - paper foundation technique.Then embroidered the title - inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.The name of Bulgaria is in our national flag's colors- white, green, red. After all I stitched it on the pasteboard.

Cut some white blank sheets, made the back covers and spiral bounded.

 

The present for the little girl - Abey is a small pouch to hang on neck.

Sweet pink and rose colors.

All of them loved the presents especially Alice :)
Thank you my friends!

Kindle in the envelope

This idea came into my head when my cousin asked me to create a case for a Kindle. I haven't seen one but he send me the measures and I began thinking. The closest item to the book is a letter. How do you receive it? With an envelope, of course.


For closure I added a magnetic button.

Inside is black felt to prevent the gadget.
