Moving to Wordpress - Canvi cap a Wordpress

Hello all!
Well, I'm moving to Wordpress so I can continue to upload my photos. This will imply a few changes, like I won't be able to have the Google Friend Connect gadget on my sidebar for new readers to click on if they want to follow and at the moment I can't paste html codes to have buttons or featuring links on my side bar (like my Etsy Shop window or other buttons you can see here on my sidebar). I'm trying to work on this, so ANY ADVISE OUT THERE IS REALLY WELCOME!

Instead, you can still follow my blog if you subscribe via email. I'd like to ask you to do this if you are still interested in following.
Reaching big numbers of followers is not my priority, but I know there are many of you who like reading me and I don't want you to get lost between the change from Blogger to Wordpress.
I will leave this blog open for everybody to have the chance to read this notice and decide if they want to move with me.
And if you are still even more interested in helping me, you could spread the word so nobody misses anything...
Thank you!

so here is the new place (still taking shape)

El Petit Taller moves to Wordpress


Hola a totes!
El Petit Taller deixa Blogger is se'n va cap a Wordpress, d'aquesta manera puc seguir penjant les meves fotos. Aixo implicara uns quants canvis com el no poder tenir la casella de seguidors a la barra lateral. De moment tampoc puc pastar codis html per tenir enllac,os exteriors a la barra lateral, com el de la meva botiueta etsy o altres botons qe veieu.

No es la meva prioritat aconseguir un gran nombre de seguidors, pero se que tinc molts seguidors fidels i no m'agradaria que us perdessiu amb aquest canvi. Al nou blog de Wordpress podreu continuar sent seguidores si us suscriviu per email. Aixi que us demano si us plau, que si encara esteu interessades a seguir llegint les meves divagacions, i sobretot veure fotos!!! us suscriviu per email al nou blog.
Deixare aquest blog obert per a que tothom tingui la oportunitat de veure aquest post.
I si encara em voleu ajudar una micona mes, podrieu fer correr la veu i dir-ho als vostres lectors...
Gracies!
aqui el teniu (encara en construccio)

El Petit Taller a Wordpress

Limited quota for uploading images?

Have you been having this problem lately when using Blogger?
I was preparing a few posts last week and to my surprise I could not upload any more photos unless I upgrade Picasa to a monthly fee to get more storage space...
this is what I get when I try to upload:

Whoops! You're out of space. You are currently using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos. Upgrade storage.

Photos are stored in your Picasa Web Albums account and are included in your 1 GB free quota for photos. Additional storage that you purchase is shared between several Google products and is in addition to your free quota. Learn more

Does anyone have a solution for to this? I don't really want to pay anything. I think it should be free. Also, I didn't have any idea I was using Picasa... I'm so bad when it comes to computers, I know it doesn't look like it, but I am.

I found this today so maybe we can sort it soon. Bummer!

So, what's going on in my little workshop... I'm just sewing like mad to sell items in my shop and keeping up with orders. I'm also making a baby quilt to donate to Hana's community play school. They will raffle it at the Christmas party to collect funds to buy new material for the school. Anyone interested in buying a line??? ;-P

Well, sorry I can't show you anything today! I hope to sort this problem soon, otherwise I don't know what I'm going to do!


Algu de vosaltres te problemes per penjar fotos al vostre blog de Blogger?
Estava preparant unes quantes entrades la setmana passada i per sorpresa meva no em va deixar carregar mes fotos. Es veu que ja he gastat tot l'espai que tenia i ara si no pago cada mes una quota a Picasa no puc fer res... Cada cop que intento carregar-ne em surt aquesta nota:

Whoops! You're out of space. You are currently using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos. Upgrade storage

Photos are stored in your Picasa Web Albums account and are included in your 1 GB free quota for photos. Additional storage that you purchase is shared between several Google products and is in addition to your free quota. Learn more

Nomes he trobat aixo avui on parlaven del tema. 
Sabeu com es pot sol.lucionar? Quina rabia!

Doncs be, aqui al meu petit taller estic cosint com una boja per omplir la botigueta i acabant comandes. Tambe estic fent un quilt com a donacio a l'escola de la Hana. El rifaran a la festa de Nadal per recaudar diners i comprar material nou per l'escola.

I be, sento no poder ensenyar res avui, espero sol.lucionar aquest petit problema aviat. Si no, no se que fare!

Why are quilts so special? Per que els quilts son tan especials?

Any handmade item is special, isn't it? 

Because of the work that's been put into it, from start to end. 

It is even more special when you know who is the recipient, 

because you think of this person while you are making it (or at least that's what I do...).

Of all the things I make, I think quilts are the best. 

They make a great gift. A gift for life that can pass through generations and it becomes even more special when it carries with it all the stories it's been involved in along the way.

Sometimes I come across people who seem not to think about how interesting,
important, special, etc... a quilt is. They think they are very expensive (well, yes... they are more expensive than a regular factory made blanket/quilt, and so they should!)

un quilt acabat de fer i que ja te nou propietari

a recently made quilt which is flying soon to its new owner

Qualsevol cosa feta a mà és especial, oi? per tota la feina que comporta des del principi fins al final.

Si és per algú que coneixes, encara la fa més especial perquè mentres la vas fent, vas pensant en aquella persona (o al menys és el que jo faig...)

De totes les coses que faig a mà, per a mi els quilts són el més especial. És el que 

em porta més feina però gratifica molt més. Sempre hi ha una història al voltant d'un quilt,

ja pot ser des del moment en que és disenya o des del moment en que cau a les mans del seu

nou propietari. És una peça que passarà de generació a generació

 i que és testimoni de moments especials.

De vegades em trobo amb gent que no sembla apreciar allò tan especial i interessant que

aporten els quilts, o l'esforç que hi ha en la seva el.laboració.

una idea, una proposta i un acord convertit en quilt i llest per ser un regal de Reis

an idea made into a quilt and ready to be a Christmas present

So let's think about it.
Whether it's your design or not, you will have to:

- prewash the fabric (not everybody does though)
- press it
- cut it
- sew the pieces
- press the seams
- keep sewing pieces and keep pressing seams...
- cut the backing, press it
- cut the batting
-bast the three layers together
- quilt it (more work if it is hand quilted)
-cut the binding, sew it and press it
- sew on the binding on one side
- sew the binding on the backside (and more work again if it's hand sewn)
- now it's done, you admire it and try to be ready to let it go if it's a gift or for sale...

So yes, it is a lot of work, but it's so enjoyable when you make it
that time seems to vanish.
I sew in the morning during an hour or so, when Hana is at play school and Conor is napping.
Then at night, if I can and I'm not too tired, I'll sew for a couple of hours when they're gone to bed.

I never thought of selling quilts, until a work colleague asked me to make one,
and then two more!
The most difficult thing was to put a price, they're priceless to me! and I like them so much
that sometimes it is so hard to let them go... but at least I know where they go to and
who is going to take care of them...
So thank you mum, Lorena, Maria, Julie J., Marta C. and Roser M.
for helping me to continue making quilts and ordering them
(some of them are being made at the moment!), I hope you like them
and enjoy them everywhere you are.



Per tant, anem a veure en què consisteix la feina d'un quilt:
- pensar un diseny (aqui es necesita geometria i una mica de càlculs)
- comprar les teles, rentar-les i planxar-les
- tallar la tela
- cosir les peces
- planxar les vores de cada peça
- anar cosint, planxant, cosint, planxant...fins tenir-lo tot cosit
- tallar la tela del darrere i planxar-la
- tallar la guata
- embastar les tres peces, (el que menys m'agrada)
- encoixinar-lo (a màquina o a mà)
- tallar la beta, planxar-la i cosir-la al voltant (jo l'acabo cosint a mà)
- ara ja està acabat. L'admiro, me'l remiro i, quan estic preparada per deixar-lo anar, el deixo...
encara que siguin a la venda, em costa de deixar-los anar! ha ha... per això
m'agrada saber ben bé on van a parar i que seran ben cuidats...

Doncs ja veieu, hi ha molta feina, però ho faig tan a gust que el temps em passa volant.
Cuso al matí, quan la Hana és a l'escola i el Conor està fent una migdiada. Després, si puc
i no estic cançada, a la nit quan els dos dormen també cuso un parell d'hores.

Mai no havia pensat de vendre res, pero una companya de feina va veure'n un
i em va demanar que li en fes un. Després me'n va demanar dos més...
El mes difícil ès posar-hi un preu. Entre el cost de les teles (que les compro a preu de botiga) i
el temps que comporta, etc... doncs penso que encara estan força bé de preu!
Però el que més m'importa és que la gent que me'ls compra i me'ls encarrega
aprecien de debò la feina que hi ha i estan preparats i il.lusionats
 per començar la seva història amb el seu nou quilt.

Gràcies mama, Lorena, Maria, Julie J., Marta C. i Roser M. per fer les vostres comandes
(algunes, mama i Lorena... - la familia que pacient espera, com no? -  encara no acabades!!!), 
espero que us agradin i els feu servir sempre, en qualsevol ocasió.

This is Hana's quilt. I made it when she was about 1 and a half. 

We've had picnics on this quilt, laid on it by the cozy fire reading stories, covered ourselves with it pretending we were camping, wrapped ourselves in it while watching TV...

and now she loves to have it on her bed and sleep under it every night.

I like that she sees me making quilts and every time I come into the sitting room showing a finished top

she goes "wow, that's beautiful... is it for me?" or when she saw mine over my bed and she said "oh, this is a lovely quilt". I like that she knows about quilts and knows how they're made.

I know she will keep it for ever, because it's hers, made for her.

Aquest és el quilt de la Hana. El vaig acabar quan ella tenia un any i mig. 

Sobre aquest quilt hem fet picnics, ens hi em assegut fent trencaclosques, ens hem tapat

mentres llegiem històries i miràvem la tele al costat de la llar de foc...

Ara li encanta tenir-lo sobre el seu llit i tocar-lo cada nit mentres llegim contes.

M'agrada que em vegi fent-los i que em digui com li agraden quan m'assec al sofà

per acabar de cosir-hi una vora o les etiquetes. 

Sempre em pregunta "es per a mi, aquest?".

M'agrada que vegi com es fan.

Sé que el guardarà per sempre, perquè és el seu quilt,

fet per a ella i que va creixent amb ella.

This one I made for my bed. 

I used old shirts that I had been gathering from charity shops

and one very special shirt, the only with solid blue,

 that belonged to a good friend of us who passed away. 

He was a singer with an amazing voice.

Aquest és el quilt que tinc sobre el meu llit. El vaig fer arreplegant camises d'home

que anava trobant a les botigues de segona mà.

Hi ha una camisa especial, d'un amic nostre que va morir.

L'única peça blava que no és estampada ve de la camisa del Chris.

So there you go. 

This is why I find a quilt such a special gift.

Doncs ara ja sabeu perque penso que els 

quilts fan un regal tan especials.

What's cooking? - Que es cou?

Pumpkin, coconut and ginger soup!
Sopa de carbassa, coco i gingebre!

This is our pumpkin
Aquesta es la nostra carbassa

being carved and ready for scaring children out tonight!
preparant-la per Halloween i per espantar els nens aquesta nit!

In the meantime, the soup will be cooking...mmmm...
I de mentres, s'estara fent la sopa... mmm


This is what I'm working on at the moment (plus several other small projects which you can see listed in my Etsy shop)
Aqui podeu fer una ullada al que estic fent ara (a part de tots els mini projectes que estic posant a la venda a la botiga)

and "where do you find the time to do all this?!!!!"

people ask...

"i es pot saber d'on treus el temps per fer tot aixo?!"

sovint em pregunten...

Well... when this little Button does this

Doncs quan el Botonet fa aixo

When he's not asleep, he looks like this.

Smiling and laughing (and puking) most of the time.

He was 5 months on the 19th!

I quan no dorm, fa aixo.

No para de riure i somriure.

El passat dia 19 fa fer 5 mesos!

And here's a peek of the nice crispy cold weather we had a few days ago

(before the rain started to have its say)

I aqui una ullada al temps que hem tingut fa uns dies, 

dies de fred i solet abans de que vingues la pluja

A visit to our friend's cottage, picking herbs, apples and feeding the neighbour's horses...

Una visita al cotagge d'un amic, on vam collir julivert, herbes i pomes...

How is it like where you are?

Quin temps fa alla on sou?

BLOGGER'S QUILT FESTIVAL

Hello! I am entering one of my quilts to the Blogger's Quilt Festival 

over at Amy's Creative Side.

Click on the image to know more about it, maybe you'd like to enter one of your quilts

or see other quilter's beautiful work!

Hola! participo al Blogger's Quilt Festival amb un dels meus quilts!

cliqueu a la imatge per saber-ne una mica mes.

This is a baby quilt I made for a friend's nephew.

I call it Wonky Squares, but maybe I should call it "First Timer", 

as it was the first time I used solids and the first time I used my new triangular ruler...

I had this charm pack of solids stashed and waiting to be used for some special occasion.

I wasn't sure how to use it and when I got that ruler, I simply followed one of the 

suggestions they give you in the packaging...wonky squares...

Once the top was pieced, I didn't want to mess it up with the quilting.

I thought the best thing would be to enhance the whole composition,

quilting all around the squares in a zig-zag way. 

So here is my

Wonky Squares Baby Quilt

entering three categories:

BABY QUILT

HOME MACHINE QUILTED QUILT

THROW QUILT

pieced and quilted by 

Irina De Juan

measurements: 43" x 37"

............................................................................................

Aquest quilt el vaig fer per al nebot d'una amiga.

L'he titolat Wonky Squares (quadres torc,ats), pero potser l'hauria

d'haver anomenat "Primerenc". 

Era la primera vegada que utilitzava teles llises i la primera

vegada que utilitzava un regle triangular.

Tenia la tela guardada, esperant a ser protagonista i al final 

vaig seguir un dels suggeriments que et donaven 

les instrucciones del regle.

Un cop el top estava acabat, no volia pifiar-la amb l'encoixinat.

Vaig optar per anar reseguint els quadres a la part exterior, fent ziga-zaga

i fent resaltar tota la composicio.

L'entro en tres categories:

Quilts per Bebes

Quilts encoixinats a maquina a casa

Quilt de Falda

medeix 43"x 37"

desitjeu-me sort i voteu els vostres quilts preferits del 5 al 8 de Novembre,

Barcelona peeks...

We spent 4 weeks in my hometown, Barcelona. Hot. It's two weeks now since we arrived home and it's soooo cold... but nice (I'll show you more in my next post).

Vam passar 4 setmanes a Barcelona. Caloreta. Ja en fa dues que vam arribar a casa i quin freeeeed que fa! (ja us ensenyare mes en la propera entrada)

Here's some things I'd like to show. 

Hi ha unes quantes cosetes que us vull ensenyar.

La maquina de cosir de la meva mare (WERTHEIM)

Amb taula inclosa (sota la qual m'agradava amagar-me

i ficar la ma en aquest forat tan atractiu)

My mum's sewing machine (WERTHEIM).

It has it's own table (under which I loved to hide 

and put my hand into this

inviting "black hole")

The sound of this machine was part of my childhood's soundtrack.

My sister and I have been wearing dresses, skirts, trousers, blouses....

that my mum made on this restless lady.

 El so d'aquesta maquina forma part de la banda sonora de la meva infantesa.

La meva germana i jo hem portat vestits, faldilles, pantalons, bruses... que la meva mare ha fet amb aquesta inesgotable senyora.

nice, isn't it?

maca, oi?

We went out for strolls around the city and I couldn't help buying a few

bits and pieces (that I most certainly do not need at all because I have more than plenty).

Here's Olga's shop in Sant Antoni Market:

anything from fabric, flannel, wadding, terrycloth, felt to ribbons, binding tape, thread and a warm welcome!

Vaig sortir a passejar i no vaig poder resistir fer algunes compres

(que no necesitava gens ja que tinc de tot i mes).

La parada de l'Olga al Mercat de Sant Antoni, on pots trobar des de tela de coto, franela, boata, tovallola, feltre fins a betes, fils i un bon somriure de benvinguda.

Another time I escaped to the city centre, the Gothic Quarter. I must say I'm a bit disappointed on how changed it is. I was so surprised that I had to resource to English to speak to a bartender, since she had very little Sapnish (and let alone Catalan, of course...). Well lucky her I could speak English, but I didn't stay there at all. Tourism is important, but not to the extent when you forget the locals... ANYWAY...
Vaig escapar-me al centre unes quantes vegades, al Barri Gotic. Quina decepcio, com ha canviat! i la meva sorpresa (per no dir ja el colmo!) quan vaig haver de recorrer a l'angles per parlar amb la cambrera d'un local al carrer Hospital, ja que el seu castella era pobrissim i ja no diguem del catala! Sort per ella que parlo angles, pero no m'hi vaig quedar. El turisme es important, pero fins a cert punt i no pas quan s'obliden de la gent local. Pero be, deixem'ho...

And here's another shop I'd like you to know about. They're the distributors of Kokka in Spain.

You'll find Nunoya in a little street called Carrer de la Palla, well in the centre, near the cathedral.

 I aqui hi ha una altra botiga que vaig visitar. Nunoya, els distribuidors de Kokka 

a Espanya, al carrer de la Palla.

and that's it!

I'll show you what I'm working on lately and how things look like here,

Halloweenish...

i aixo es tot!

Ja us ensnare el sue estic fent i com es veuen les coses per aqui,

en plan Halloween...

Extra Extra! El Petit Taller on Etsy!

Well finally I could put together a few things and open the Etsy shop!
I'm very excited about it and to be honest I'm still learning how to run the whole thing, but I know I'll be learning on the way. There are many more items that I'm going to add, but I'll take it easy and go step by step. There will be more sections with baby items, notebook covers, pouches and more bags, quilts, etc...
At the moment I want to see how I get on with all this! Any constructive criticism is welcome!

And to celebrate the new opening, there will be a 10% discount on any purchase until the end of October, you just have to enter the code WELCOME10 at checkout. 


Per fi he pogut organitzar-me una mica i obrir la botigueta a Etsy! Quina emocio! encara he d'aprendre com funciona del tot, pero ja anire agafant el truc a mida que vagi afegint-hi coses. De moment anire de mica en mica i aviat afegire noves seccions amb cosetes per a nens, mes bosses, quilts, fundes de llibretes, etc.
Ara de moment vull veure quina resposta te. S'accepten critiques constructives!

Ah! i per celebrar-ho, teniu 10% de descompte sobre qualsevol compra. Nomes cal que entreu el codi WELCOME10 quan feu el pagament a checkout.
NOTA: com veieu esta escrit tot en angles, pero ja sabeu que no hi ha cap problema per ajudar-vos si no enteneu alguna cosa, m'envieu un correu electronic i llestos :-)

baby gifts

I came up with this little gift for the new baby of a fellow blogger 

whom I had the pleasure to meet last week. A train set appliqué, which gave me a good chance to keep practicing the blanket stitch on my sewing machine.

Her little bundle is so beautiful and her little girl and mine had lots of fun together.

Now that she has received her gift, I can show it to you.

Vaig fer un petit detall per al nen acabat de neixer d'una companya blocaire a qui vaig tenir el plaer de coneixer personalment la setmana passada. Un trenet aplicat (que m'ha anat be per practicar el punt de festo amb la maquina!). El seu nen es precios i la seva nena i la meva s'ho van passar molt be jugant juntes. Ara que ja el te a les mans, us el puc ensenyar aqui.

resting on a couch...

Resting on a couch... 

this is what I'm doing lately... but not as often as I'd like to!

We've been in Barcelona for almost 2 weeks and we won't head back home until mid October. The heat is nice, a real treat, and it's making the Little Button to sleep longer naps! yeepee!

De relax al sofa es on estic ultimament, pero no tant com m'agradaria..!

Ja fa quasi dues setmanes que estem a Barcelona i no tornarem a casa fins a mitjans d'octubre. La caloreta es molt bona, que be! i fa que el Botonet allargui una mcia mes les seves migdiades, iuhu!

There is a place near where I'm staying where I found some nice fabric:

Hi ha una botiga a prop d'on estic on he trobat tela molt maca:

a cute forest

 un bosc molt maco

Lovely Japanese dolls

unes nines japoneses

and more chairs, couches and benches...

i mes cadires, sofas i bancs...

In the meantime, when Little Button is asleep and Thimbelina is busy 

with her grannies I can work on some patterns.

There are great shops for material in Barcelona. You just need a full wallet though...

De mentres, quan el Botonet dorm i la Didaleta esta entretinguda amb els avis

jo barrino idees amb alguns patrons.

Hi ha botigues molt interessants per material a Barcelona,

pero nomes necesites una bossa que soni be...

facebook... etsy...

Well, finally... El Petit Taller is on Facebook.
The idea is to see how many people would be interested in having a closer look to the little things I make and maybe purchase some. I'm thinking of opening an Etsy shop in the near future. I think I would like to give it a go, even though there are lots of shops selling similar things... 
what do you think? should I give it a go? 

Doncs be, El Petit Taller ja te una pagina a Facebook.
La idea es saber quanta gent estaria interessada en les petites coses que faig i si els agradaria comprar-ne alguna. estic pensant d'obrir una botigueta a etsy.com d'aqui a molt poquet. Crec que m'agradaria intentar a veure quina sortida te, encara que hi ha un munt de botiguetes que venen moltes coses similars. Que penseu? creieu que es una bona idea?

241 TOTE

Hello all! Yes, it's been a while, again... 

Time is flying and I don't realize it's been that long since my last post, life is pretty busy here with the little button and thimbelina but I still managed to keep on stitching!

Hola a totes! Si... ja fa temps que no escrivia...

els dies em passen volant i es que no paro, amb el botonet i la didaleta

ja tinc les mans ben ocupades pero encara expremo el temps per fer puntades!

This is an order from a friend: the 241 tote designed by Anna over at Noodlehead.

You can buy her pattern at her site. 

Aquest es un encarre d'una amiga: una altra bossa "241" disenyada per Anna de Noodlehead.

Si us interessa el patro el te a la venda a la seva pagina web.

I used Swoon by Melissa Averinos for Andover Fabrics 

and a mix of linen and cotton for the exterior. 

The lining is Timber by Jessica Levitt for Windham Fabrics.

L'exterior es fet amb Swoon de Melissa Averinos per teles Andover 

i una barreja de lli i coto cru.

 L'interior es una tela ratllada Timber de Jessica Levitt

per teles Windham.

I have made a second tote similar to this one for sale which I'll soon show,

so if anybody is interested just contact me for details.

He fet una segona bossa similar amb les mateixes teles per tenir a la venda,

la mostrare aviat, aixi que si algu hi esta interessat contacteu-me per 

saber mes detalls.

FOTO FINISH

I can't even remember when was my last entry for the Foto Finish at Cat Patches... I really like this idea of showing a themed photograph and for a while I tried to keep it up, but then lives gets in the way...

Ja no recordo quina era la meva ultima foto per al Foto Finish de Cat Patches... m'agradava participar cada setmana amb una foto sobre el tema que tocava, pero la falta de temps ja va interrompre la marxa. 

"Yellow" is the theme for this week and I thought of this photo I took of this field of sunflowers in Catalonia. How I'd love to be there right now... in the heat.

"Groc" es el tema per aquesta setmana i recordo que vaig fer aquesta foto d'un camp de girasols anant en cotxe per Girona. Com m'encantaria estar alla ara mateix... amb la caloreta.

swap received

Here's the mini quilt I received as part of the swap between the Modern Quilt Guild of Ireland and the Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild. Andi from our-epoch is the artist who made this amazing mini quilt. She found out I'm very fond of tea and made this tea set for me.

Aquest es el mini quilt que he rebut com a part de l'intercanvi de l'agrupacio de patchwork modern d'Irlanda i el d'Atlanta. L'Andi de our-epoch es l'artistassa que m'ha fet aquest quilt sobre te. Va investigar una mica el meu blog i va veure que soc fan del te.

I didn't know we would receive a quilt from the same person you made a quilt for... Had I known this I would have waited to post about my quilt for her until Andi received it. I'm not sure if she has yet, as it was sent early last week. My quilt is so simple compared to those of the rest of the participants, I'm really embarrassed... sorry Andi... :-( If you'd like to see the rest of the quilts you can click here.

No sabia que ens havien posat per parelles i que rebria un quilt de la mateixa persona a qui jo feia un. No estic segura de si l'Andi ha rebut el meu ja, el vaig enviar la setmana passada. espero que li agradi, tot i que es molt mes senzill que el seu i que de tota la resta de participants. em fa una mica de vergonya i tot... Si voleu veure'ls tots, cliqueu aqui.

The fabric es great, I really like the printed letters of the cup.

La tela es molt maca, sobretot la de la tasa amb les lletres impreses.

The embroidery bit is very cleverly used, coming out of the spout...

El brodat esta fet molt astutament, com si fos fum que surt de la tetera i es llegeix "te"

The piecing is amazing, how many pieces has this little quilt!

La quantitat de trocets cosits per a cada detall es impressionant.

And on the label at the back, she even printed a lovely poem about tea...

I al darrera,  a l'etiqueta, hi ha impres un poema sobre te... tot un detall...

Andi, this is so nice. Thank you thank you very much. 

All the details on it are so well taken care of.

Go raibh maith agat!!!
