Cuando llegan estas fechas me gusta buscar por Internet los nuevos SALes de patchwork para el nuevo año que se acerca. Los SALes son geniales cuando no tienes ningún proyecto en mente o cuando, como a mí, te entra la flojera y sabes que la rutina te va a alejar de tus labores.<br />
He encontrado unos poquitos, casi todos en inglés, y casi nada en español. Me imagino que organizar un SAL debe ser agotador y admiro enormemente a las que de manera tan generosa comparten su tiempo y su trabajo con las demás. Un día de estos lo intentaré... cuando supere mi falta de confianza y mi complejo de eterna novata de patchwork :o)<br />
Aquí os dejo la lista de trabajos que encontré y que están a punto de comenzar.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">This time of the year is perfect to find new QALs for 2015. They are fantastic when you don't have any other project in mind or when you are not too good at setting up your own schedule and routine tends to take over all the time, little I know...</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I am posting today a few links to some very generous quilters and their projects for the New Year. Can you imagine the fantastic amount of time and effort put into organising one of this QALs? One of these days I may give it a go... who knows? It's only that I always feel that I'm not good enough... yet...</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Anyway, here are the few projects I found.</span><br />

Las vacaciones escolares empiezan y ahora preparándonos para volver a España unas semanitas. Ya tengo ganas, la verdad, sobre todo después de las últimas semanas, donde por desgracia hemos despedido a mi querido suegro. Qué pena y qué tristeza cuando se pierde a un ser querido. Dios lo tenga en su gloria.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">School holidays just started and the family is getting ready to go to Spain for a few weeks. I am looking forward to it, especially after the last couple of weeks. My dear father-in-law passed away after a very short illness. So sad. May he rest in peace.</span><br />
<br />
En fin, antes de despedirme de mi máquina de coser durante el verano, quería enseñaros en lo que he estado trabajando estas últimas semanas.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">And just before saying goodbye to my sewing machine before the summer break, I wanted to show you what I have been doing these last few weeks.</span><br />

Como regalo de fin de curso a las profesoras de mis hijos, este año les he hecho un cojín. Para la etiqueta, como siempre, me gusta que ellos la escriban, o al menos la firmen, y luego yo la bordo.<br />
Estoy supercontenta con el resultado porque logré ponerle una cremallera escondida con una solapita y no sabía ni cómo empezar.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">This year I have prepared a couple of cushions for the school teachers. As usual for the labels the children signed them and I embroidered them. I'm really happy with the result. I even managed to hide the zip and I didn't even know how to start.</span><br />

Y cuando mi hermana los vio con la magia de la telefonía móvil le gustaron mucho, así que decidí hacer dos más para ella. ¿Qué os parecen?<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">And when my sister saw them (thank God for mobile technology!) she really liked them, so I decided to make a couple of cushions for her. What do you think?</span><br />

Otro proyectito que me llevo entre manos es un porta-CDs para los niños, para que guarden sus juegos de la XBox. Pero estoy un poco atascada, la verdad. Bueno, anoche terminé uno de ellos pero no tengo fotos. No estoy supercontenta, pero se puede usar y me he dado cuenta de algunos errores que voy a intentar corregir en el segundo. Ya os enseñaré fotitos del progreso.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Another project I'm currently working on is a CD-holder for my kids. They want to bring a few XBox games with them and I thought this could be a nice idea. But I've been stuck for a few days. Last night I finished one but I'm not too happy with the result. I will try to improve it, at least now I'm aware of a few mistakes. I hope to show you the progress soon.</span><br />

Ya he perdido la cuenta desde la última vez que escribí un poquito en mi blog. Las que me seguís en facebook ya sabéis por qué. Demasiados exámenes. Pero ahora estoy intentando vencer la pereza y las ganas de no hacer nada y poco a poco vuelvo a mis labores.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I can't even remember when was the last time I posted something on this blog. If you are one of my Facebook followers, then you know about all those exams that are driving me insane. Now, I'm trying to shake a bit of my laziness off and progressively get into my sewing.</span><br />
<br />
Aquí tenéis un avance del proyecto en el que he estado trabajando estos últimos días. Es un bolsito (sorpresa!) Pero esta vez no ha sido por decisión propia. En mi grupo de patchwork se decidió en septiembre pasado que el reto de fin de curso de este año sería un bolso. En fin, que me he puesto manos a la obra y ya lo tengo terminado. Sólo os avanzo un poquito y os lo enseño a finales de semana, después de presentarlo en el grupo. Me perdonáis, ¿verdad?<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Just a peek of the project I have been working on the last few days. It is a bag (surprise!). In my quilting guild, the Committee decides on a challenge to be completed by May, this year's challenge is a bag. I have it finished now, so I will show it to you as soon as the week is over. </span><br />

Y tengo muchos UFOs rodando por ahí, pero me apetece empezar algo nuevo. Sigo empeñada en no comprar más telas y en utilizar al máximo las que tengo. No es que realmente no quiera comprar telas, pero ya sabéis, la recesión se hace notar.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I have so many unfinished projects that I should really go back to then, but hey... I can't help it. I feel like starting afresh! I don't want to buy more fabric for the moment, well... that's not true, I want to, I just can't afford it. So... I'm trying to use whatever I have in my stash and make the most out of it.</span><br />
<br />
Tengo pensado hacer un quilt de bebé para una compañera de trabajo de mi marido. Así que primero seleccioné las telas que más me llamaron la atención. No quiero hacerlo muy de bebé, me gustaría que fuera uno de esos quilts que cuando creces los puedes seguir usando sin hacerte pensar que eres una cría. En fin, que me gustaron los verdes, los rosas y el blanco. Así que seleccioné esto y mi bolsa de retales sueltos de verdes y rosas.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I'd like to do a baby quilt for one of my hubbie's colleagues. She had a baby girl a few months ago, she is still on maternity leave and I would like to make something for her. My choice of fabric is girlie and fresh, but no babyish... I want to make something that she can keep using when she grows up. Here is what I'm going to use, green, pink and white. I have also dug out my green and pink scraps.</span><br />

No tenía muy claro el tipo de bloque, quiero algo sencillo, con un toque fresco y moderno. Así que al final me decidí por un Log Cabin, fui jugando con los colores de mis hijos y decidí que me gusta el diseño de la esquina inferior derecha.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I wasn't too sure about what type of block to use. I wanted something fresh and modern looking. At the end I made up my mind and it's going to be a Log Cabin block. I "borrowed" some colouring pencils from my boys and I started drawing a few combinations. I like the one on the bottom right corner.</span><br />

Mientras blogeaba un poquito he visto un SAL y estamos justo a tiempo de comenzarlo. Echadle un vistazo a este enlace de <a href="http://christaquiltsblog.com/2013/09/11/christas-quilt-along-7-0-modern-trees-intro-and-schedule/" target="_blank">Christa's Quilts</a>. Tiene muy buena pinta y parece una buena oportunidad para usar esos retalitos de telas navideñas que a lo mejor no dan para mucho.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear friend,</span><br />

Just in time to get something ready for Christmas. I have a few scraps of fabric and I don't know what to do with them.... This might be the perfect project!</span><br />

Estas últimas semanas me he intentado poner al día con los bloques del SAL <a href="http://www.andsewwecraft.com/modern-blocks-quilt-along/" target="_blank">Modern Blocks</a>. Lenta pero segura :o) Os animo a que lo intentéis, no son difíciles y como siempre aprendes un montón. Espero que os gusten. Un abrazote gordo.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all again,</span><br />

They are easy enough and as usual you learn a lot. I hope you enjoy them. Take care.</span><br />

Como os prometí aquí tenéis unas fotitos de mi adelanto con el proyecto Eastwood Village de <a href="http://scrapquiltandstitch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrapquiltandstitch</a>. Durante el verano me terminé los bloques que me faltaban y cuando volví a casa trabajé un poquito en el top. Todavía me falta algún borde y el acolchado por supuesto, pero a que promete la cosa. Me encanta...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">During the summer I managed to complete all the outstanding blocks for the Eastwood Village BOM organised a couple of years ago by <a href="http://scrapquiltandstitch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrapquiltandstitch</a>. The top is now nearly finished, I might add an extra border but doesn't it look gorgeous? I love it...</span><br />

<br />
Os tengo abandonados desde el verano. Lo siento mucho, pero ando ajetreadísima, mi hijo pequeño ha comenzado el colegio y es todo un poco estresante. No tengo tiempo para gran cosa pero esta mañana descubrí que <a href="http://scrapquiltandstitch.blogspot.ie/2013/09/les-cabines-de-plage.html" target="_blank">Roxane</a> comienza un nuevo quilt misterioso la semana que viene y no lo podéis dejar escapar. Mira que me gustan sus proyectos... Yo me he apuntado, por supuesto. Lo iré terminando poquito a poco, como casi siempre fuera de plazo. Pero bueno, lo que importa es terminarlo.<br />
<br />
Este verano he trabajado en el otro proyecto de Roxane, Eastwood Village, y casi casi he terminado el top. Me faltan los bordes. A ver si puedo enseñaros algunas fotitos.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">After the summer break I'm still struggling to get back to the routine. My younger child has started school and he is also struggling with that. It is all a bit stressful... trying not to be too early at school so he does not dwell too much on the fact that mum is leaving. Then rushing to be on time for work... A bit of studying when I get back home... Uff... little sewing. Still I owe you a few pics from what I did during the summer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I wanted to share with you this piece of good patchwork news. Roxane from <a href="http://scrapquiltandstitch.blogspot.ie/2013/09/les-cabines-de-plage.html" target="_blank">Scrapquiltandstitch</a> is organising another Mistery Quilt. Remember Eastwood Village? I have nearly completed the top now. You are going to love it!! Well, this will be another of her great projects. She is starting next week, you just have to contact her by email. You won't regret it! </span><br />

Hoy he dejado a mi máquina de coser con el técnico, se ha vuelto un poco loca. Sólo cose hacia atrás y parece que el ajuste para la longitud de la puntada se ha ido al garete. Son puntadas diminutas... buaaaa... en fin... qué se le va a hacer. Pero os cuento que para llevarla al técnico me he tenido que hacer un viaje en coche de hora y media de ida y otra hora y media de vuelta... Estoy reventadita, pero la echo de menos, a mi maquinita. Menos mal que le ha dado el sofocón cuando ya tenía los regalitos de fin de curso terminados.<br />
<br />
También quería mostraros un mini mural de verano hecho con la técnica de <i>foundation paper</i> (no sé cómo se dice en español, terrible, por eso necesito tantísimo mis vacaciones en mi Granada del alma).<br />
Mientras que blogeaba hace unas semanas encontré unos patrones muy bonitos en <a href="http://ellisonlane.blogspot.ie/search?q=summer+sampler" target="_blank">Ellison Lane Quilts</a>. Es un Summer Sampler sencillito de hacer y muy "fresquito". El top lo tengo ya terminado, ahora me queda acolcharlo. Derechito a mi nueva lista de trabajos sin terminar...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">My sewing machine went bananas... yes... she can only sew backwards and with a teensy tiny stitch, with no regard whatsoever for the settings I select. I went so mad at her yesterday. Today I drove her to the technician down in Waterford, which is an hour and a half drive (each way!!). I am soooo tired, but I miss her, now... I do... I won't see her till I'm back from my holidays! Well, at least she managed to finish the teachers' gifts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I also wanted to show you a Summer Sample mini-quilt I made a couple of weeks ago. Check </span><a href="http://ellisonlane.blogspot.ie/search?q=summer+sampler" target="_blank">Elisson Lane Quilts</a><span style="color: #bf9000;"> website. She has beautiful things and she generously shared with us the patterns for this quilt (paper piecing). It is really a "fresh" summer quilt, while I was putting it together I felt constantly in the mood for comfort food... You can imagine why... The top is now finished, let's see when I get to do the quilting.</span><br />

Estos últimos días he estado ocupadísima intentando terminar los regalitos de fin de curso de las seños de mis dos hijos.
Mi peque, Alejandro, termina este año con la guardería, así que me apetecía hacer un mural para ellos. La guardería se llama "Cherish" y empezamos con ellos hace 7 años, cuando mi Rodrigo tenía 6 meses. Me parece mentira. En fin... Que llevaba ya varios meses con esta idea en la mente y en cuanto que terminé mis exámenes me puse a la tarea.
Así es cómo se me ha quedado el mural. ¿A que está chulo? A mí me encanta y a las chicas de la guarde también. La directora se emocionó y todo. La idea del autobús, el árbol y la carretera arcoiris no es mía. La usan en uno de sus anuncios y yo lo adapté a la versión en tela.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all, </span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">These last few days I´ve been reaaally busy preparing the end of the year gifts for the teachers. I have two sons, Alejando is nearly 5 and Rodrigo is 7. Alejandro is finishing his Montessori year in the crèche and starting big school in September. I have prepared a wall hanging as a fairwell gift to the crèche. Their name is "Cherish Childcare" and I used one of their ads where they display a bus, a tree and a rainbow road and I turned it into my special fabric version.
They were really happy when I gave it to them, there were even some tears...
</span><br />

<br />
El autobús es como el que llevan ellas para recoger a los niños más grandes del cole, tiene pegatinas con manitas. Esto me costó más trabajo pero el efecto está chulo.
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">They also run an afterschool service and the bus they use for the school runs has stickers of little hands all over. I tried to reproduce the effect by using some embroidery... ain´t perfect but I´m happy with the result! </span><br />

Sigo practicando un poquito con el acolchado libre y me encanta el efecto de las piedrecitas. ¿Qué os parece?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I keep practicing my free motion quilting. I love the bubble effect on the grass!</span><br />

Rodrigo acaba de terminar First Class (por edad sería como un Segundo de Primaria de España). No sé si os he contado que va a un colegio irlandés, donde la enseñanza se imparte en el idioma gaélico, el propio de Irlanda antes de que el inglés se impusiera como primera lengua. Qué suerte tienen estos peques de hoy en día, son esponjitas para los idiomas. Para su <i>Múinteoir</i> (seño), le he hecho una funda de libreta. Aquí os pongo unas fotitos, la luz no era genial porque era ya de noche, pero para que os hagáis una idea.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Rodrigo just finished First Class in an Irish school. In Ireland you have some schools where all the teaching is done in Irish, (<i>as Gaeilge</i>), a Celtic language that was spoken before English became the main language.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">For his teacher, or <i>Múinteoir</i>, I made a notebook cover. Sorry for the light on the pictures, it was a bit late at night, but I was in a rush to get this taken! :o) I hope you like them.</span><br />

<br />
Me gustó tanto el SAL que os mencionaba el otro día que me he liado la manta a la cabeza y me he apuntado. Iba con atraso porque empezó en mayo, pero fijáos qué rapidito se hacen. Ya tengo los dos bloques hechos. Animo y apuntaos. Os recuerdo el enlace al <a href="http://www.andsewwecraft.com/modern-blocks-quilt-along/" target="_blank">Modern Blocks QAL</a>, por si acaso.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I fell in love with the <a href="http://www.andsewwecraft.com/modern-blocks-quilt-along/" target="_blank">Modern Blocks QAL</a> I found this week. I have put my name down for this one, it shouldn´t be too bad... (I keep saying to myself.) One block per month... fingers crossed! It started in May but I have managed to do the two blocks in no time. Go on... don´t you feel tempted... :o)</span><br />

<br />
Me estoy poniendo las botas mirando las cosas bonitas que dejáis en vuestros blogs. Aquí os voy a dejar dos enlaces a dos SALes (en inglés). Uno de ellos es un proyecto de patchwork moderno, se llama <a href="http://www.andsewwecraft.com/modern-blocks-quilt-along/" target="_blank">Modern Blocks Quilt Along</a> y es precioso. Ha empezado en mayo y va a durar un año. Todos los meses habrá que hacer un bloque, no hace falta hacerlos todos, pero están tan bonitos...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I´m having real fun with all the browsing I´m doing these last few days. I found some fantastic blogs and QALs. Today I really have to share two links with you. One is a <a href="http://www.andsewwecraft.com/modern-blocks-quilt-along/" target="_blank">Modern QAL</a> in progress, so you are still in time to join in. It´s beautiful...</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
El otro enlace que voy a compartir con vosotros es una página web (en inglés) con varios SALes que ya terminaron pero las instrucciones siguen disponibles. Esto es de patchwork más tradicional, pero divino también. A mí me ha gustado mucho el Sunny Side Up. Daos una vueltita por la página web de <a href="http://www.patchworktimes.com/patterns/" target="_blank">Patchwork Times</a>, Judy Laquirada es supergenerosa con los patrones que comparte con nosotras.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Next on my list of interesting links is <a href="http://www.patchworktimes.com/patterns/" target="_blank">Patchwork Times</a>. Judy Laquirada is sharing with us some magnificent patterns. I love the Sunny Side Up below. And if you are more into modern quilting, I´d say this could also make a great one if you chose a few vibrant colours.</span><br />

<br />
Por fin puedo sentarme un poquito y escribir en mi blog. Han pasado meses desde la última vez que os conté algo, no me lo puedo creer. Pero, bueno, en cuanto que he terminado mis exámenes me he puesto manos a la obra con varios proyectos. Uno de ellos era un Mistery Quilt organizado por el grupo de patchwork de mi zona. Desde el mes de noviembre pasado hemos venido recibiendo instrucciones, yo no pude hacer nada durante el curso, pero en abril y mayo me he puesto las botas. Estoy superorgullosa porque he conseguido terminar mi primera colcha de cama de matrimonio.<br />
<br />
En mayo hice un curso de acolchado libre con Anne Marie de <a href="http://kilboraquiltshop.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Kilbora Quilt Shoppe</a>, así que me puse manos a la obra enseguidita y decidí practicar todo lo que había aprendido en esta colcha. Estoy supercontenta. ¿Qué os parece el resultado?<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">It´s been months since I sat down at the computer to talk to you. Finally I managed to post a few pictures of my last project. This is a Mistery Quilt organised by the Irish Patchwork Society. It started last November but I only had a chance to do it once I finished my exams in April. I´m delighted I managed to keep my schedule.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">As you can see from my pictures I tend to do small projects mostly cos I don´t have the time (or experience) to do anything else. So I decided to do this double quilt for my own bed. My first large project and my first free motion quilting project. I took a free motion quilting course with Anne Marie from <a href="http://kilboraquiltshop.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Kilbora Quilt Shoppe</a> and I decided to practice on this quilt. I hope you enjoy it.</span><br />

Esta semana ando un poco descarrilada. Una de esas semanas locas, los niños malos, varias visitas al hospital, pero bueno, gracias a Dios todos bien y vuelta a la tarea. Hoy os quería mostrar las fotitos de un bolso que hice hace unas semanas. Este era un regalo para mi hermana y el viernes recibió el paquete así que ya lo puedo compartir con vosotros.<br />
Hacía tiempo que tenía varios hexágonos guardados con retalitos y sobrantes de otros proyectos y de pronto encontré el proyecto perfecto. Decidí usar unos pantalones vaqueros que tenía ya viejecitos como la tela principal del bolso. Aproveché los bolsillos traseros para hacer unos compartimentos en el interior del bolso, y un bolsillo lateral que tenía el pantalón se convirtió en otro bolsillo exterior del bolso. ¿Qué os parece?<br />
Un abrazo<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">This week has been a bit too much for me, the children getting sick, several visits to the hospital, trying to study for an exam next week... But thank God everything is going better now, fingers crossed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">And today I wanted to show you a bag I made several weeks ago. This was a present for my dear sister back in Spain.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I used several hexagons I had been making with some scraps of fabric from old projects, I could never find the right project for them till now. For the main fabric I used an old pair of jeans. I managed to recycle the back pockets for the inside of the bag and a side pocket for the outside. I am very happy with the result! Hope you like it too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Hugs</span><br />

<br />
Nos queda nada para Halloween, la noche de todos los Santos. Aquí en Irlanda, el mundo celta, se celebra muchísimo como os podéis imaginar y a los niños les encanta. En fin, que rodeada ando estos días de murciélagos que cuelgan de los marcos de las puertas, de telarañas enormes y de una inmensa araña negra con patas que se extienden por todo el techo del salón. Y en la escalones de la escalera me han salido ratones, muy cucos ellos, pintados de negro y esperando a que caiga la noche del 31 y su famoso "Trick or treat". :o)<br />
Y de costura bien poco porque vuelvo a tener exámenes, pero no me he podido resistir a hacer otra calabazita de Halloween, un poquito diferente y más grande a las del año pasado. ¿Qué os parece? Y he sido muy requetebuena y os he preparado un tutorial. Pulsad <a href="http://lolapatchwork.blogspot.ie/p/tutoriales.html" target="_blank">aquí</a> para ir a la página de Tutoriales. Siento no haberos dado más tiempo, pero bueno, se hace superrápido.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Halloween is just around the corner... again. I like it. I don´t know why because at the same time the month of November makes me a bit sad and I can´t stop thinking about my Dad... But, I suppose having kids around is really great and specially if you are into crafts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I haven´t had much time to do any major sewing these days, back to my exams :o(. But my house is now dutifully decorated for Halloween, surrounded by cob webs, big spiders hanging from the ceiling and small tiny mice at the stairs... all waiting for the Trick or treat night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I have managed to make another pumpkin for the little collection I started last year. And this time I have put together a tutorial, available in English and Spanish <a href="http://lolapatchwork.blogspot.ie/p/tutoriales.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I know I haven´t given you much time, sorry, but it is really a very quick project.</span><br />

<br />
Hoy me gustaría presentaros mi primer tutorial. Se trata de una carpeta portaproyectos de patchwork para cuando vayáis a esos cursillos superinteresantes u os tengáis que desplazar con vuestra labor.<br />
<br />
Este proyecto me lo fui inventando sobre la marcha y utilizando las telas que tenía en la casa, no tuve que comprar nada especial. Es el primer tutorial que os preparo y me hace mucha ilusión. Os pido perdón por los errores que haya podido cometer. Si algo no está clarito, no dudéis en contactarme.<br />
Para descargar el archivo .pdf, pulsad <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84702171/Tutorial%20-%20Carpeta%20portaproyectos.pdf" target="_blank">aquí</a> o consultad mi página de Tutoriales.<br />

<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I am posting today my first Tutorial. It's a carry-all bag for those quilting or sewing projects on-the-go. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to translate it into English yet. Will you forgive me for that? It is in my to do list. In the meantime have a look at the pictures in the file, they might give you some ideas. Thank you for your patience. Click <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84702171/Tutorial%20-%20Carpeta%20portaproyectos.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> for the current Spanish version. You will also find the link in the Tutorial(e)s tab above.</span><br />

Ya hace tiempo que no os cuento nada, perdonadme pero después de las vacaciones, la vuelta al cole y al trabajo, me queda poco tiempo para el ordenador. El mismo dilema de siempre: ¿coso o me pongo a blogear?<br />
Bueno, ahora he querido mostraros lo que he estado haciendo en las últimas semanas. Y la cosa va de bolsos. A ver qué os parecen.<br />
Un abrazo y buen día<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I haven't forgotten about you, really, believe me... I am just overloaded with my September routine, you know, the usual... end of summer holidays, children back to school, the office, the studying... little time for the computer. And then when I do have the time to sit down, I'd rather be doing some stitching.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">During the last few weeks I have been working on some bags. I am pretty happy with the result, have a look, I hope you enjoy them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Enjoy your day</span><br />

<br />
Hola de nuevo,<br />
Probablemente ya lo habréis encontrado vosotras mismas, pero por si acaso os paso el enlace de un proyecto de verano que organiza <a href="http://annaorduna.blogspot.com.es/2012/08/proyecto-verano-2012-1-parte.html" target="_blank">Anna Orduña</a>. Este enlace corresponde ya a la primera parte del proyecto pero en esta entrada Anna os proporciona detalles sobre los materiales necesarios. Yo creo que lo voy a intentar, pero a lo mejor se me convierte en un proyecto de otoño... conociéndome...<br />
Besos<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all again,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">There is a summer project organised by <a href="http://annaorduna.blogspot.com.es/2012/08/proyecto-verano-2012-1-parte.html" target="_blank">Anna Orduña</a> and it looks really nice, fresh and modern. The website is in Spanish but don´t let that stop you, the pictures are easy to follow. You don´t need to join any group, blog or anything. I think I will give it a try but it might be autumn before I put my hands on it...</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Love</span><br />

<br />
Buenas a todos,<br />
No sé por qué pero este verano está siendo poco productivo. Apenas he tocado la aguja, aunque tengo ganas, no os creáis. Yo prefiero coser a mano, pero la verdad es que echo de menos mi máquina de coser, para avanzar más rápido en algunos tramos. Este verano decidí poner al día la máquina de coser de mi madre que está impecable. Fue un regalo de mi abuela a mi madre en el año 1977. Si la viérais... Tiene el manual de instrucciones supernuevo y la mini caja de herramientas que venía con la máquina incluye la lista original de los componentes que venían con ella.<br />
Cargada de buenas intenciones la he engrasado y preparado para poder trabajar con ella este verano. Pero lo encuentro muy difícil, es eléctrica pero de pedal manual y rueca. No me aclaro y se me atasca mucho, cada dos por tres tengo que quitar la bobina y desmontar el atasco. Aquí os enseño unas fotitos para que veáis qué maravilla.<br />
Un abrazo desde España<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I am not sewing as much as I would like this summer and I don´t know why. I really enjoy sewing by hand but I think I am actually missing my sewing machine, for those bits in which you can really speed up. This summer I have tried to use my mum´s sewing machine. I still remember when my nanny gave it to her as as present. The year was 1977. It is very well kept and my mum still has the original instructions booklet. But I´m finding it really hard to use. Although it is an electric machine, you have to press the pedal with your foot and use the right motion and balance if you want to sew. I love the idea of using it but I think I´m giving up for this summer... too hot to be struggling with her. Have a look at the pictures, I still think it is beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Hugs from Spain</span><br />

Ya hace tiempo que no os cuento cómo me van las cosas. Ahora estoy pasando dos mesecitos en España, con los peques y la familia, cuidando de mi mami recién operada y confieso que cosiendo poco. Sólo he avanzado un poco en mi SAL de las casitas, he hecho un par de fundas de pasaporte y estoy haciendo algunos hexágonos, pero poco más. Ya os mostraré fotitos, porque el ordenador que normalmente uso no funciona y éste es superlento!<br />
En fin, buscando, buscando he encontrado un nuevo SAL de patchwork en <a href="http://bessonespatch.blogspot.com.es/2012/07/sal-bolso-japones.html" target="_blank">Bessones</a>. Se trata de un bolso japonés y tenéis de plazo para apuntaros hasta el 9 de agosto. Yo lo voy a intentar, animáos, que no hay fechas de entrega.<br />
Un abrazo a todos<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Dear all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">It's been a while since my last posting. I am in Spain at the moment, enjoying a bit of heat and sun and my mum's food, for which I feel guilty... Even after a knee surgery two weeks ago she is up and cooking. We were supposed to be the ones taking care of her!</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I am not really sewing that much. I finished one of the blocks of the Eastwood Village mystery quilt and a couple of passport covers. Just working on some hexagons at the moment. Pictures will follow as soon as I get my sister's computer sorted, the one I'm using at the moment is incredibly slow!</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">There is a new BOM organised by <a href="http://bessonespatch.blogspot.com.es/2012/07/sal-bolso-japones.html" target="_blank">Bessones</a>. You can join this group up to 9th August, there are no completion deadlines. I might give it a try myself!</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Take care</span><br />

<br />
Hoy quiero enseñaros en lo que he estado trabajando estos últimos días. Bueno, es algo que se hace en un día, en unas cuantas horas, pero en fin, con los niños, el trabajo, la casa... pues yo he echado más. Estoy supercontenta con el resultado y me encantan los colores.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Today I wanted to show you what I´ve been working on these last few days. I feel a bit ashamed because this is something that could be done on a day but it took me at least 4 days. Uff... I´m just so tired at night when the kids are in bed... But I´m delighted with the result and the contrast of colours.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Se trata de una funda para libreta que le vamos a regalar a la profesora de mi hijo de 6 años como regalo de fin de curso. He usado algunos trozitos de tela que tenía por la casa, he abierto algunas cajitas de botones y éste es el resultado.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">It is a notebook cover for my 6 year old son´s Múinteoir, which means "Teacher" in Irish. I used some scraps of fabric, a button and some ribbon I had at home, so it turned out really cheap :o)</span><br />
<br />
Empecé cortando las telitas siguiendo el tutorial en inglés de <a href="http://fluffysheepquilting.blogspot.ie/p/notebook-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Cindy</a>. Muy sencillito, de verdad. Bueno, yo como referencia usé una libreta con portada de pasta dura de tamaño A5, así que cambié un poco las medidas.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I followed <a href="http://fluffysheepquilting.blogspot.ie/p/notebook-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Cindy´s tutorial</a>, which is great, simple and easy to follow. Give it a try! I used an A5 notebook with a hard cover so my measurements were slightly different. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Y luego a coser. Yo añadí una etiqueta y un bordado en las solapas interiores.</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">And time to piece everything together. I added up some embroidery and a label as you can see below. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
La funda lleva un marcapáginas con un colgantito donde pone "Hecho a mano" en inglés.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">The cover has a pagemarker with a little "hand made" charm at the end to add some extra weight.</span><br />

Mi hijo firmó en un papel y yo lo transferí a la tela con un rotulador de tinta lavable y luego lo bordé. El texto está en irlandés y dice: "Gracias, Srta. Áine de Rodrigo".<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">My son signed his name on a piece of paper and I transferred it to the fabric using a washable ink marker. I then embroidered it. The text is Irish and it means: "Thanks a million, M. Áine" from Rodrigo. In Irish and Spanish children address their teachers by their first name, instead of their surname, so the M. is actually the abbreviation for "Múinteoir" (teacher). </span><br />

<br />
Os enseño lo que ronda últimamente por mi mesa de costura. Ando liada con uno de los bloques del SAL de <a href="http://scrapquiltandstitch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrap, quilt and stitch</a>. Roxane todavía tiene disponible los patrones de este Mystery Quilt en su blog, por si estáis interesados en intentarlo, y está preparando un proyecto nuevo, ya os tendré al día cuando nos de más información.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I wanted to share with you what I am currently working on. This is another block of the Mistery Quilt organised by Roxane in </span><a href="http://scrapquiltandstitch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrap, quilt and stitch</a><span style="color: #bf9000;">. Her patterns are still available for download at her blog. Don´t forget to check it if you like what you see. She is currently working on another proyect. Coming soon! I can´t wait.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Para este proyecto estoy usando papel transfer. Es un papel transparente, parecido a la entretela, pero más fino. Tan fino que va a dejar que el rotulador deje la marca de tinta sobre la tela.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">For this project I am using the transfer paper technique. It is a very transparent paper that will let the ink of your pen to go through the paper onto your fabric. It is very much like interfacing but very very thin.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9X4mf0FBnErQK32QuXoxkeyx25-Qx2zoalcpQYJo5pBjsJxYXl6s5KJJPVfyHUyWFIfMc53cqOmUPW7G-0D2upeXVQDdDNmzSkJdkYgyuFj0HS23pah-JLl50haaJFVGU-Rd_Z7JS3jw/s1600/Log+Cabin+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9X4mf0FBnErQK32QuXoxkeyx25-Qx2zoalcpQYJo5pBjsJxYXl6s5KJJPVfyHUyWFIfMc53cqOmUPW7G-0D2upeXVQDdDNmzSkJdkYgyuFj0HS23pah-JLl50haaJFVGU-Rd_Z7JS3jw/s320/Log+Cabin+7.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
En este papel calco el patrón que quiero llevar a la tela usando un lápiz de carbon normal, para no marcar mucho el papel y correr el riesgo de que se rompa pronto. Tened en cuenta que luego hay que repasar el contorno varias veces, primero a la tela base de mi bloque y luego a cada una de las telas que formarán las piezas independientes.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">I copy my pattern from my printed copy to the transfer paper by using a normal black pencil. I don´t want to waste my washable ink pen on this first draft. We are going to need to go through those lines several times and I want my transfer paper to last and not to get broken before I´m finished. </span><br />
<br />
Una vez copiado el diseño al papel, se coloca sobre el derecho de la tela base y se calca usando esta vez un rotulador de tinta lavable. Esto nos ayudará a emplazar las distintas piezas con más precisión. El papel transfer luego nos va a servir para transferir cada una de las piezas de nuevo al <b>derecho</b> de la tela que elijamos.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Once the pattern is onto the transfer paper, I will use the washable ink pen to highlight the lines and copy the pattern onto the <b>right side</b> of my background fabric. The same technique will be used to transfer the different parts into the corresponding fabrics.</span><br />
<br />
Cuando se hace un trabajo de aplicación hay que pensar un poco en tridimensional e intentar desmontar el dibujo en capas. Roxane proporciona instrucciones muy buenas sobre el orden de las piezas pero yo a veces soy floja para leerlas y voy improvisando sobre la marcha. Por ejemplo, me imagino el dibujo y pienso que antes de edificar la casa estaba el campo, que va a ser mi primera pieza. Luego los árboles, claro, pero como están ocultos por la casa voy a dejarlos para casi el final, con excepción de las hojas que tocan el tejado de la casa.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">When I am doing an appliqué work I try to think in layers. I imagine my landscape and what came first into it. First the land, then the trees, then the house, the fence and so forth. This helps me to determine what pieces go first. Roxane gives detailed instructions with the patterns but this is basically the line of thought I use when reading an appliqué pattern. </span><br />
<br />
Mi segunda pieza serían las paredes de la casa. Aquí podría haber hecho una sola pieza de tela y luego haber marcado con bordado las líneas de separación de los leños, pero decidí complicarme un poco la vida. :o) La verdad es que te imaginas al leñador cortando los troncos y poniéndolos uno encima de otro y eso hice con mi tela. Fui cortando tiras de tela marrón y colocándolas unas encima de otras. Le da un aspecto un poco más irregular a la cabaña y a mí me gusta. Algunos de los bordes de la vivienda los he dejado sin coser para luego insertar por debajo la valla de madera, que va en un segundo plano.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">For the walls of the house I could have simply used one piece of fabric and then highlight the logs with an embroidery stitch. However, I decided to build my cabin log by log. I cut long strips of the brown fabric and stitched them from the bottom up. I didn´t stitch some of the side logs in order to fit in the fence underneath.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Después el tejado que sí que es una sola pieza. Fijáos cómo hay una parte del tejado sin coser. Como va a quedar oculta con otra pieza, no hace falta coserla. Tuve que coser una hoja del árbol que se oculta detrás del tejado y también la chimenea que queda por detrás.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">The roof is made of one piece. Note that I left one side loose, without sewing. This will be covered by a different fabric later on so there is no need to stitch that. I did have to sew however one of the tree leaves and the chimney underneath the roof.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
Estos alfileres son especiales para aplicación y son muy cortitos, la verdad es que ayudan mucho. A veces coloco varias piezas a la vez y luego voy cosiendo. Aquí estaba intentando poner las jambas y el dintel de la puerta.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">These are special pins for appliqué work. They are shorter than usual so they can be handy when piecing very narrow pieces. Sometimes I just shape and pin several pieces together before sewing them with a hidden stitch.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Poco a poco va tomando forma. Todavía me queda rematar una parte del borde del tejado, ventanas, valla, árboles y un poquito de bordado. Ya os enseñaré el bloque terminado.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Little by little the block is taking shape. I still have to finish the roof, windows, fencing, trees and add up a bit of embroidery. I will keep you updated on the progress.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
Un consejo. Aseguráos de planchar las telas <b>antes</b> de usar vuestro rotulador de tinta lavable, después olvidáos de la plancha hasta que no esté el bloque terminado y lavada la tinta.<br />
Si os animáis con ésta técnica y os surge alguna duda, mandadme un mensaje por si os puedo ayudar. Un abrazo.<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Just a tip. Iron your fabric <b>before</b> transferring the pieces with your washable ink pen. Then do not attempt to iron the block even if it looks as wrinkle as mine. Once you finish your block, wash it, get rid of the ink and then iron it to your heart´s content. Any queries, just shout.
