About a month ago a fellow blogger, Emmie of Aspirations of a Southern Housewife, gave me a Kreativ Blogger Award. Emmie writes a wonderful blog, do stop by and check it out!
Thank you Emmie for nominating me. You need to share seven things about yourself. I tend to be a rather private person, so I have been hesitant, but here they are in no particular order.
I am an incredible procrastinator but also an over achiever/Type A personality. This causes me lots of stress in my down time but very concentrated blocks of productivity during my work time. I am half Italian and half Portuguese, My grandparents on both sides came to America in their youth and spoke only broken English. I love my heritage. I am very expressive and passionate about life, actually about almost everything. Of all the areas of design my favorite is kitchen design and spacial planning. I really should have been a kitchen designer; perhaps someday I can play one on TV.
I have an incurable antique furniture habit. My basement and attic are filled with furniture that will someday find the perfect home – but until then happily reside in spaces above and below where we actually live. I love puppets. I wanted to be a Puppetry major in college but my parents thought it was irresponsible. Instead, at their urging, I entered college as Accounting major (what a laugh!) I am a mother of two beautiful children. They are amazing people and they make me laugh everyday. I can not imagine what my life would have been like with out them. I believe we are all connected somehow and that we need to be good to one another. I try to be a better person every single day.
I am also suppose to nominate seven other blogs for this award, but I am interested in so many blogs I couldn’t possibly choose. So, if you would like to share anything about yourself, please consider yourself nominated. I would love to know more about YOU! xx-Gina

I started decorating for Christmas this weekend and one of my favorite traditions is making pomanders. Pomanders are clove studded oranges, or in this case clementines since they looked better than the oranges at the store. They fill the house with a wonderful holiday scent and look pretty displayed with greenery and pine cones. I used to make these with my mother growing up and I’ve continued the tradition since moving away. What are the holiday traditions that you grew up with that you carry on today? Is there anything you’ve changed? Anything that you would never do again? I’d love to hear your stories!
El pasado sábado 7 de noviembre se inauguró por fin la exposición en Arenys de Mar ( Barcelona ) ” Patchwork , una mirada al mundo de los bolillos “ en el museo Marés de las Puntas. ¡ Cuánto me hubiese gustado estar allí en carne y hueso ! Pero no pudo ser. Esta idea surgió , como ya os he contado aquí , de María Clara Lloveras, a la que de nuevo le doy las gracias por haberme invitado a participar con un quilt en dicha exposición .
El quilt está compuesto por 25 bloques diferentes en los que he añadido puntillas con una antigüedad de cincuenta y cien años. También hay algún pañuelo o aplicación . Todas son de bolillos.
Las telas son de Lecien en su colección Fancy Fabric.
Todos los bloques tienen un diseño original propio.
Esta es la trasera. La verdad es que esa tela estampada con ramos tan grandes luce mucho más como como pieza completa
El título está bordado en punto de cruz. El hilo que he utilizado es de The Thread Gathered , una seda blanca bordada sobre un lino de Zweigart de 32ct .
Seis son los bloques bordados reproduciendo puntillas. Los modelos los he sacado del libro de Anne Van Dammeque tengo hace tiempo. Fue una casualidad tener justo uno que estuviera dedicado a este tipo de puntillas .
Sólo las puntillas que rodean el título son actuales, de Camariñas exactamente . Lo quise así como homenaje a estas mujeres y a su tradición en España. Por cierto, esta puntilla me la trajo Pilar en un viaje que hizo , y que sabe que me gustan tanto. ¡ Gracias Pilar !
Aquí podéis ver los bloques que lo componen.
De nuevo otro quilt dobladito para la colección de fotos similares .
Y como sé que te encantará hacer una visita virtual, echa un vistazo al video que han preparado desde el museo. ¡ Vaya , qué casualidad , el mío está en la cabecera de la proyección ! Tenía que haber salido el que promociona la expo,¿no ? Una preciosidad de Núria Madurell.
Os recomiendo que echéis un vistazo al reportaje que ha hecho Lupe
en varios artículos. Ella fue otra de quilters invitada a participar con un quilt suyo.
Desde luego en cuanto pueda , haré un viajecito y lo veré allí colgado. ¡Ah y me sacaré la susodicha foto con el quilt detrás …… qué me hace una ilusión ……..!
