French Painted Chest/ Комод во французском стиле
Это мой древний и потертый комод. Его единственное и неоспоримое достоинство - это его вместительность, чего там только нет! Но внешний вид его, все более ухудшающийся, начинал действовать на меня удручающе...
This old and tired piece of furniture has been sitting in my living room for years now. I think I have finally had enough of its' ugly appearance...
И тут я наткнулась на мастер класс Франчески по созданию комода во французском стиле!
Все, что было нужно - это краска и кисточки, и вот мой комод тоже стал модным и элегантным!
That is why I got so excited when I saw Francesca's tutorial! It was such a nice and easy job, and I am delighted with the result!
Вдохновения вам!

Vintage doilies/ Винтажное кружево
I have to admit that I love lacy doilies. As a matter of fact, I love lace in any form!
I think that showing off these two vintage finds was the main reason for designing my cushion covers in the first place.
Совсем недавно я вдруг пришла к выводу, что кружево всегда было моим любимым из всех материалов. Мои сегодняшние подушки - это повод подарить "вторую жизнь" этим двум винтажным находкам.
Дизайн стежки построен вокруг салфеток, использованных в качестве центрального элемента подушки. Имитация трапунто вышивальными нитками.
Я все еще помню как мои бабушки накрывали подушки кружевными накидками, заправляя утром кровати. Может быть, поэтому мне так уютно рядом с этими подушками?

My Victorian Gothic
This is another quilt inspired by the magnificent Victorian Gothic architecture of Oxford
Machine trapunto with embroidery thread and silk thread on cotton satin
White cotton satin backing
The central medallion design is almost identical to the one of the flamboyant rose window of the Wesley Memorial Church in Oxford. I tried to capture its ornate tracery using trapunto elements against some dense free-motion quilting
Quilt size 60cm x 60cm

Autumn Colours
Autumn is the time of year when I feel like creating something bold and colourful. This year again I just could not resist using these glorious autumn colours for my quilt!
I painted my central panel with silk paints on fine white cotton, embroidered it using viscose threads, and quilted it.
A beautiful landscape photograph was an inspiration for this quilt. I enjoyed using layers of embroidery thread over the painted background to achieve a sense of perspective and a light & shadow play.
Thank you for visiting!

Vintage Lace
It's time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival again!
My entry is this original design wholecloth quilt inspired by antique lace and Regency stonework.
It is free-motion machine quilted using viscose embroidery thread. I used a combination of pearl white and french grey coloured threads to create an aged look here.
Trapunto is used for the "carved" elements:))
I am very pleased with how the backing has turned out - the silver thread makes it sparkle in the sunlight.
The quilt measures 22x23" or 57x58 cm. I used pure cotton fabrics and Heirloom 80/20 wadding.
I thought that this quilt would look wonderful in a classical style interior, or against a piece of painted french style furniture.
Thank you for taking interest in my work!
