The surprise for you- my first give-away !

This give-away is closed now. Thanks to everyone that entered. I will choose the winner on Sunday , using a number random generator !
Have a great weekend.
Geta


Life is so good with me... I am married for over 15 years with the best husband in the world, I have a wonderful family.
Beside these, since 8 years ago I do all the day long what I most love to do : quilting ! I am a lucky girl ! Probably there are so many women in the world that love to quilt but don’t have enough time to do that !

I am so grateful ! And this is a sign of my gratitude: a small sample of my shadow trapunto quilts I want to give to one of my readers! As you know, I love this technique !
For those who don’t know how this little quilt is made: the top layer is organza, the white motifs are made from batting and under these two layers there are other three layers ( like in a normal quilt ).


Viata e asa buna cu mine ! Sunt casatorita de peste 15 ani cu cel mai sot din lume, am o familie minunata. In plus, de peste 8 ani, cat e ziua de lunga, fac ceea ce imi place cel mai mult sa fac: quilting ! Sunt o norocoasa ! Probabil sunt atatea femei in lume care adora quiltingul dar nu au suficient timp sa quiltuiasca !

Sunt foarte recunoscatoare vietii ! Si iata un semn al recunostintei mele: aceasta mostra de quilt shadow trapunto pe care vreau s-o ofer cadou unuia dintre cititorii mei. Dupa cum stiti, imi place mult aceasta tehnica.
Stratul de deasupra este organza, motivele albe sunt din vatelina, iar sub ele se afla alte 3 straturi (ca la orice quilt).


The little quilt is 11.5” x 11.5” (29.5 x 29.5 cm).
I hope you like it !

I didn’t have enough fabric to make bias binding so I used a straight binding. Because of that, the edges tend to lift up and give the quilt this nice look !

N-am avut material suficient sa croiesc bindingul pe bie, asa ca l-am croit drept. Din cauza asta, marginile tind sa se ridice si dau quiltului un aspect foarte frumos.


If you want to win this little quilt, please leave a comment at the end of this post until Friday night(Romania's hour). You will be entered in a drawing. I will randomly peak a winner in the next weekend. Please assure there is a way I can contact you. And I would like to know where are you from !

And if you find something interesting (maybe in my tutorials ) on my blog, would you want to share it with your readers ? Maybe you can add a link on your blog ? I would certainly be happy for it !


Have a wonderful week and Good luck !
Geta


Daca vreti sa castigati acest quilt, lasati-mi un comentariu la sfarsitul articolului, pana vineri noaptea. Voi alege prin tragere la sorti un castigator. Asigurati-va ca exista un mod de a va putea contacta, in caz ca veti castiga. Si mi-ar place sa stiu de unde sunteti !

Daca gasiti ceva interesant pe blogul meu (poate in tutoriale), ati vrea sa impartasiti si cu cititorii blogului vostru ? M-as bucura !

Succes ! Sa aveti o saptamana frumoasa!
Geta

Geta, I just love your shadow trapunto, and the colors you've used in the piece for the give-away are just gorgeous. :) I visit your blog for inspiration, and I also made a point of searching out your quilts when I went to Houston last fall -- they're even more beautiful in person than in your photos. I'd just love to win the give-away. :)

Toate quilturile tale sunt adevarate opere de arta si nu cred ca exista cineva care nu ar vrea in casa lui asa ceva. Eu vreau! In primul rand pentru ca stiu unde il voi aseza si apoi pentru ca vazandu-l de aproape sper sa pot fura putin din maiestria ta. Multumesc pentru cuvintele frumoase cu care m-ai incurajat!

I very much admire your trapunto.
I have a Ricky Timms DVD which I am working through and am just past his comments on Trapunto.
It is nice to meet someone from your country. I have had visits from your country to my blog but never any comments that I know of.
I too am having a bag giveaway.
A one yard bag adapting a Lazy girl pattern in colors of your choice. I would be pleased if any of you would like to enter. It will not be perfect but will be the best that I can do and I do not mind posting overseas. I wanted to get 60 replies to link with my 600 posts which is what the give away celebrates.
Thank you from Australia
