Depois de ter encontrado alguns trabalhos com esta técnica pela blogland, decidi experimentá-la. Como sempre, antes de iniciar qualquer coisa nova (pelo menos para mim!), consultei a "Bíblia" que, desde miúda, me habituei a ver a minha mãe seguir. E, claro, fiquei elucidada! Encontrei tudo muito bem explicadinho e segui as instruções: fiz o molde, reproduzi-o, escolhi e cortei os tecidos, alinhavei e cozi. Concluí que dá algum trabalho, mas é um projecto óptimo para ir fazendo...

I found many projects in blogland using this technique, so I decided to give it a try. As always, before starting something new (at least to me!) I consulted my mother's "Bible" for crafts. And I followed the full directions: traced and reproduced the pattern, choosed and cuted the fabrics, basted and sewed. It gives some work, but it's a fun and portable project...

Adivinham-se muitas outras e todas elas serão únicas, pois constituirão um quilt de memórias, em que cada pedacinho de tecido terá a sua história para contar. Os tecidos estampados destas foram comprados há algum tempo, em Dublin, numas férias em que visitámos a Irlanda. São especiais, pois foram os primeiros tecidos que comprei para patchwork e ficaram pacientemente guardados, à espera de um projecto especial... Vamos ver o que se segue...

I can see many more coming and all of them will be unique, because this will be a special quilt : each little peace of fabric will tell a story. The printed ones from the flowers above, for instance, were bought some time ago in Dublin, when we visited Ireland on holidays. They are the first fabrics I bought for patchwork and they patiently waited to be used in a special project... We will see what comes next...
