Neighborhood Row
¡Por fin lo terminé!
Ahora solo queda decidir que acabado le doy, pero creo que voy a esperar a ver si Didi, Estrella y Ara nos sorprenden con los "esos y aquellos" de los que tanto hablan, no sea que luego me arrepienta... :)))))))))
At last I finished it!
Now I must only decide the way I end it, but I think I am going to wait and see if Didi, Estrella and Ara surprise us with the "these and those" that they always mention, just in case I have to regret it... :)))))))))))

La costutarta de Lupe

Tenía tantas ganas de terminarla.... (necesité nuevamente la ayuda de mi madre con la maquina de coser, por eso me llevó tanto tiempo)... la hicimos siguiendo el fantástico tutorial de Lupe, que podeis encontrar en su blog aquí. Gracias Lupe...
I was looking forward to finish it... (I needed again my mum's help with the sewing machine, this is why it took so long)... we did it following the wonderful tutorial of Lupe in her blog here. Thanks Lupe...
Bolsa para la base y las reglas de patchwork...
Esto es una de las cosillas que estuve haciendo este fin de semana pasado, con la ayuda de mi madre (ya que aun no me manejo demasiado bien con la maquina de coser). Mi madre, harta de ver cuando venia a mi casa, la base de corte y las reglas de patchwork de 60 cm por encima de la mesa, me dijo que buscara unas telas grandes y nos pusimos con ello. Creo que quedó genial aunque la combinación de telas no es la más bonita del mundo, pero resulta práctico para transportarlas y también para tenerlas recogiditas. La hicimos a la medida justa de la base, que no la veis porque esta dentro, para que casi no se mueva, y con la tela sobrante, un bolsillo por cada lado para cada una de las reglas (cm y pulgadas). ¿Qué os parece?This is one of the things I have been busy with this past weekend, with my mum's help (I am not very good with the sewing machine yet). My mum, tired of seeing when she ever came to my house, the cutting mat and the 60 cm patchwork rulers on the table, told me to look for some big spare fabrics and we started with it. I think it turned out great though the colour combination is not too fancy, but it very useful to carry them around and also to have them kept in a tidy way. We made it just with the measurements of the cutting mat, that you cannot see because it is inside, so that it cannot move too much inside, and with the spare fabrics we made a pocket in each side for each of the rulers (cm and inches). How do you like it?

Regalo de Navidad
Me lo envió Loli de Santa Cruz de Tenerife del blog Taller de Loli y me envía unas cosas tan preciosas que no se si las fotos les harán justicia pero ahi van.
It was sent by Loli from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, from the blog Taller de Loli, and she sent me so beautiful things that I am not quite sure the pictures will be fair to the reality. Anyway there you have.

¡Por fin, la colcha de los ositos!
Finally I can show you the little bears baby quilt that I made for a colleague from work that had a beautiful babygirl called Sofía... today I went to visit them and I gave her the quilt and she liked it a lot. It is all had stitched and quilted and I am very happy with how it ended up because it was the second thing I made in patchwork, and the first one using appliqué technique. Do you like it?
Un detalle de los ositos...
Some detail of the little bears...
Y del acolchado... And of the quilting...

Intercambio A la Carta...
And I just realised by uploading the picture of Najma¡s exchange that I never uploaded the one of what I sent to Verónica in Peru in the swap organised by Emilia! What a memory that of mine, though with the month I just had...
Pues aqui lo teneis, le hice un bolsito de patchwork (el primero que hago buf!) y le envie tambien alguna cosilla más: una revista de punto, unas cintas y unos botones... Me hubiera gustado enviarle mas cosillas pero la verdad no tuve mucho tiempo este mes... asi tengo todo atrasadisimo... ¿Que os parece el bolso?
So here it is, I made a patchwork tote (my first one, buf!), and I also sent some more things: a knitting magazine, some ribbons and buttons... I would have liked to send something more but to be honest I had not much time this month... that is how I have all so delayed... But what do you think of the bag?
Intercambio libreta alterada...
Finally I can show you the content of the package I sent to Sofia from Valencia (she has no blog) in the Altered Notebook or Biscornú swap organised by Najma! It seems Sofía has received it already (she told Najma) and though I had not news from her, well, I hope she liked it because I made it with all care.
Como podeis ver se trata de una libreta forrada con patchwork con la tecnica de aplicacion y luego le he enviado tambien unos pendientes hechos con cristales de Swaroski y algunas cosillas que me parecio que podia usar para hacer scrap (yo no hago scrap y la verdad no sabia muy bien que le podia ser util, espero que le sirvan).
As you can see it is a notebook altered with patchwork appliqué and also I sent a pair of earrings made with Swaroski crystals and some more stuff that I thought she might be able to use to do scrap (I do not do scrap and to tell the truth I did not have clear ideas of what could be useful for it, I hope they serve the purpose).
¿Que os parece? Me encanta recibir vuestros comentarios para ir mejorando... :)
What do you think? I love to receive your comments to keep improving... :)

A contrarreloj...
Against the clock and in the deadline I have managed to finish the little quilts for the babies Pablo and Anton, just before visiting them at home. Don´t you like them? I am very proud of them because it is my first patchwork design (well, the patterns for the letters I found them on the internet, but the final idea was mine :). As you might notice one of them is more quilted than the other (timing problems), and in Pablo's, we put together the square pieces by machine, but the rest is all hand-sewed and quilted. Definitely I must learn how to machine-sew, it is crucial sometimes to save time.

Un poquito de bisutería...
Y este es un invento de mi madre para tener colgaditos y a la vista los pendientes. Lo tengo colgado en una columna del baño, entre los dos espejos, y es una idea genial, ya no tengo que andar rebuscando en el joyero para buscar los que me combinan con la ropa cada mañana ;)

El famoso cojín-manta
Al final parece que ha quedado bien, y ¡es tan calentita! con la cara interior de franela será genial para sentarse a ver la tele o coser en invierno... :)
At the end it seems it resulted ok, and it is so warm! with the inner side made of flannel it will be great to sit and watch TV or sew in winter... :)
