FINISHED! ACABAT!


Per fi ja l'he acabat!
I finally finished!


alla on intentava fer una foto sempre venien els tafaners
wherever I tried to take a photo the nosy ones were around



L'encoixinat es molt senzill, nomes he seguit linees rectes en diagonal. Si tingues mes experiencia crec que hagues  fet l'encoixinat lliure fent algun diseny al centre de cada bloc blanc, pero amb un quilt tan gran encara no volia experimentar l'encoixinat lliure. A la propera ja ho fare millor.

It's a very simple quilting, I only followed diagonal lines. If I was more experienced I would usefree motion and even make a pattern at the centre of each snow block, but with such a big quilt I didn't want to chance it yet. I will get better with my next one.



un petit detall
here's a little detail


M'agrada acabar la beta a cosint-la a ma
I like hand binding at the back

La mida es de 2.26m x 1.82m
the finished size is 89"x72"



el vist i plau de la Hana...

A NEW ADDITION - UNA NOVA ADICIO

Tinc moooooltes ganes de que sigui dimarts! perque en algun moment del dia, trucaran a la porta i em trobare una caixa...
I can't wait for tuesday to arrive! because at some point during the day they'll ring the doorbell and when I open the door I'll find a box...






i dins la caixa hi haura...
and inside the box there'll be...






aixo!
this!



la meva nova maquina de cosir!!!
my new sewing machine!!!



M'ha costat molt decidir-me. Tenint en compte el meu pressupost, primer mires la marca, despres el model i comences a trobar que per 50 euros mes tens aquella mes bona i per 50 mes tens l'altra encara mes bona... Al final has de parar el carro! Espero haver pres una bona decisio. Tambe he comprat la taula extendible, uns quants peus i un paquet de bobines... L'estrenare amb el meu proper projecte!

It was hard to decide on one, keeping in mind my budget. You look at brands and models and then the fun part starts: for €50 extra you could have that one, for €50 more you could have the other one much better and so on... until you realise it's way out of your budget! I hope I made a good choice. I also bought the extension table, several foots, a pack of bobbins... I'll be using it with my next project!

QUILT ALONG / PATCHWORK SIMULTANI and... GIVEAWAY-SORTEIG!

I have joined my first quilt along. I think I will learn a lot from it and it will be like a parallel commitment to the BA in Social Care that I've just started at university... (yep, I don't have enough with 4 years of study ahead of me...) 
It seems doable, a block every week together with a bit of study every night... the sewing will help me to keep me sane!
If you'd like to join the quilt along go over to visit its host at moosequilts for a list of all what you need.





And if you need some fabric... why not enter a giveaway for a chance to win some? Go and check this one out at Spun Sugar Quilts!


I hope you are lucky!


No sabia ben be com traduir aquest terme de "quilt along" sense utilitzar una descripcio. Patchwork simultani es el que mes s'apropa. Es tracta de fer un quilt al mateix temps que altres cosidores. Sera el mateix diseny, pero cada persona haura triat la roba que mes els agrada, de manera que el resultat sera molt variat.

Hi ha molts blogs de cosidores professionals (o quasi professionals) que conviden a unir-te a un "quilt along" d'un projecte que elles mateixes han disenyat. Es una manera d'aprendre tecniques i he decidit afegir-me a un d'aquests grups. Es com un curs a distancia, (com que no tinc prou amb els 4 anys de carrera que tot just he comenc,at...)

Cada dues setmanes es publiquen les instruccions per fer un bloc i la teva feina sera fer-lo i esperar a la propera publicacio per fer el seguent bloc. El grup que seguire en aquest cas fara un quilt amb 12 blocs diferents i les dimensions seran de 64"x80".

Al post de la blocaire que organitza aquest esdeveniment s'ha publicat un llistat del material que es necessitara. El primer bloc que s'haura de fer es publicara el 2 de Novembre i aixi cada dos dimarts se'n publicara un de nou, a apart de les instruccions per acabar de fer el quilt.
Aixo comenc,ara d'aqui a poc! el 2 de Novembre de 2010, i durara fins el 3 de Maig de 2011.
Algu s'hi anima?
Cliqueu a la imatge per saber mes informacio.


Ah! Necessiteu roba per fer aquest projecte? per que no probeu sort i participeu al sorteig de Spun Sugar Quilts?

Bona sort!

HELP! AJUDA!

I DID IT!!!  hey, would you like to grab my button? here on the right...
HO HE ACONSEGUIT!!! voleu enganxar el meu boto al vostre blog? aqui a la dreta el teniu...




It's been a while now since I've been trying to make a button to link into my blog, but despite all the tutorials I've found (and they look so easy and simple! like this one) I can't manage!
Would any of my followers or readers help me with this, please??? Could you tell me all the steps to make one, or could you make one for me? I have the photo for it, it's the same as my header photo and it's in my photobucket account. Nothing comes out when I am pasting the 2 URL addresses on the Java gadget I opened... BUAAAAAAAH!!!
does anybody out there want to help me?

Fa temps que intento fer un boto (icone) per enllac,ar el blog i no me'n surto! He trobat unes tutorials que semblem molt facils, com aquesta, i tot i aixi no hi ha manera!
Si algun dels meus seguidors o llegidors sap com es fa, em podrieu donar tots els passos que he de seguir per fer-lo? o si em podeu fer un???
La foto ja la tinc al compte de photobucket i es la mateixa que faig servir per al titol del blog. Quan intento enganxar les dues adresses de URL a la casella de Java, no surt res... BUAAAAAAH!!!
algu m'ajuda si us plau?

AUTUMN IS HERE! ARRIBA LA TARDOR!

Ja hem tornat de vacances i ens hem topat amb el fred i els dies assoleiats de tardor, un paisatge precios... i un encostipat! que hi farem...
Per entrar una mica en calor, us deixo el link d'un gran esdeveniment que va comenc,ar ahir: dues setmanes de sortejos a mes de 150 blogs de tot el mon per aquells interessats en patchwork. No nomes teniu la oportunitat de participar en els sortejos, que esta prou be, sino que podeu afegir moltissims blogs a la vostra llista (es el que m'agrada mes, ja que la sort no sempre acompanya i en canvi la llista l'augmentare segur!)

Cliqueu a l'espantaocells i  veureu a la pagina on trobareu el llistat (a la dreta) de tots els blogs que hi participen. Molta sort!



Well, we're back from our holiday and we suddenly found the autumn cold and sunny days, a beautiful landscape and... a headcold...!
So to warm you up I'd like to tell you about a great event that started yesterday, the Fall into Fall giveaway, where more than 150 bloggers are holding giveaways. Click on the icon to find a list of all the participant. You'll have the chance to enter the giveaways but best of all, you'll find lots of really nice blogs to add to your list (to me that's the best thing, since it is the only thing you know you'll have for sure!)
good luck!

VACANCES! HOLIDAYS!

Doncs aixo, que marxem dues setmanetes a la meva ciutat natal i no podre anar visitant blogs ni actualitzant el meu tan sovint com m'agradaria... pero intentare fer el posible per anar posant-me al dia.
Tinc un munt de fotos per afegir (que no vaig poder penjar al seu dia perque blogger no tenia el seu millor moment) i moltes coses mes per ensenyar-vos. Haureu d'esperar fins que tornem!
Fins aviat!

So yes! We're going away for two weeks, to my birth-town and I don't think I'll be able to update this blog or visit all my favourite ones. I hope I'll get the chance to have a connection somewhere though.
I have some pics I want to show, as I couldn't post them when I tried to (blogger didn't have a good day), and other little things I've done. You'll have to wait until I'm back!
I'll read you soon!

TUTORIAL: roba per estendre - hanging up the laundry



Aqui teniu un petit joc per fer amb els nens. 
Es per ensenyar vocabulari de roba i dels colors i tambe perque practiquin la dexteritat dels dits amb petites agulles d'estendre. A part, tambe pot servir per decorar l'habitacio quan el deseu...

Here's a little game to play with young children.
I use it to teach vocabulary (clothes and colours) as well as it gives an opportunity for the child to practise with the pincer grip by using little wee cloth pecks. It will also look nice on the wall of their room when they're not playing with it...




MATERIALS

feltre de colors
agulles petites 
cordill de canam
paper i llapis
tisores
 i un gat per fer-vos companyia... (opcional)

felt of diffrent colours
mini cloth pecks
hemp string
paper, pencil and scissors
and a cat to keep you company... (optional)












1. Dibuixeu en un paper el perfil de tota la roba que us passi pel cap. Talleu les figures per fer-les servir de patro i taller el feltre.
1. Draw on a paper all the silhouette of all the clothes you can think of. Cut them out to use them as a template to cut the felt.



2. Un cop tallades, podeu decorar la roba amb els diferents punts de brodar que tingui la vostra maquina de cosir. O tambe podeu deixar-los tal com son...
2. You can decorate them by using the different sewing stitches on your sewing machine. Or if you like, you can leave them plain.




3. Talleu un troc, de cordill i esteneu-hi la roba amb les pincetes.
3. Cut the string, as long as you want it to be, and hang the laundry on the line with the little pecks.
