The funny thing is that as I re-read my own blog I think: what a cool blogger! why did she quit? <br />
<br />
I do know why, too many things going on at the same time. Specially inside my head. At some level blogging was good to clear up my mind, however, there was a point when I realized that I was having trouble not saying what was really on my mind. On one side I did not have a wish to publish that to my imaginary readership and on the other it got boring to look for topics to write about that did not involve what really mattered.<br />
<br />
So where am I now?<br />
<br />
I quit my good-paying-high responsibility job, I have a empty nest, I am on my way to being a long distance grandmother (sniff), I have a struggling online fabric business <a href="http://www.artemia.com.uy/" target="_blank">(Artemia)</a> and have not solved half of the knots I have in my soul.<br />
<br />
As I look back I see a few forks in the road that could have lead to different places. I always insist to myself that you cannot regret what you have decided to do. Meaning that you never know how things will work out. Regrets are for the decisions that you were afraid of taking.<br />
<br />
I guess I am very privileged because every day I see options, roads ahead and choices to make. The bad thing is that they bring along anxiety and this anxiety ties those knots of my soul tighter.<br />
<br />
My life today is solid. Friends, family, professional accomplishments, a house by the ocean, health (except for the aching joints, I am way to young to write that). I feel loved by the people I most care about. The only one that fails me is myself. There are reasons why I give myself failing grades over and over again. I should quit doing that.<br />
<br />
As a young adult I was successful at getting away from the source of that bad energy but I went back to the light as a moth to the lightbulb. I am writing in riddles, if I keep doing this I will probably quit this blog again before I even start.<br />
<br />
Forget it. I am cool, I am 50, I am loved and having a fulfilling happy life.<br />
<br />
What is next? Who knows,<br />
<br />

Since I did not add a picture in my previous post I picked up an example of the technique of the super fast jelly roll quilt. <a href="http://www.marriedtoabmw.com/2012/06/pedal-to-metal.html">Blogged</a>Ceciliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349198967773115351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645417148001372172.post-31214503897373799692012-06-25T10:57:00.000-03:002012-06-25T11:02:34.579-03:00Recetas para guardar Stuff worth saving.Si pones jelly roll race en el buscador de google saltan un lote de sitios dedicados a hacer<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU"> este</a> quilt. Parece sencillo y divertido. No creo que sea saludable tratar de terminarlo en 45 minutos como proponen pero está buena la idea como para guardarla. Soledad lo estaba haciendo este fin de semana, sin entrar en la carrera parece relajante.<br />
<br />
If you google "jelly roll race" you will find a bunch of people racing to make <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU" target="_blank">this </a>quilt. If not getting all crazy to win the race to make it in 45 minutes it seems fun and relaxing. Worth saving for a rainy afternoon.<br />

Estas son fotos de la colcha de Tadeo teminada. El diseño está inspirado en <a href="http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/11/10/windmill-whimsy/">este</a> quilt de film in the Fridge. En la foto se ve que hubo un margen de interpretación en el diseño de los bloques entre las tres costureras. La parte de atras es un trozo de tela de sábana y usamos sus colores para darle unidad al proyecto. El sesgo también fue cortado de la misma tela de atrás. El capitoneado es "free motion". Los bloques miden 12 pulgadas, osea 30 cm. El tamaño final es 90 x 120 cm.<br />

These are the pictures of Tadeo´s blanket, all finished with quilting and binding. The idea came from<a href="http://www.filminthefridge.com/2008/11/10/windmill-whimsy/"> this</a> quilt from Film in the Fridge. In the top picture you can see that there was some margin of interpretation on the block design between the three friends that put it together. The back and binding are from a bed sheet. THe quilting is free motion. Each block is 12 inches so the finished size is 36 x 48 inches.Ceciliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349198967773115351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645417148001372172.post-46724227689194527222012-06-04T09:23:00.000-03:002012-06-07T12:33:40.103-03:00Manta para un bebé - A quilt for a baby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Con otras dos amigas nos pusimos de acuerdo apra hacer una colcha para el bebe de Paula. El modelo está inspirado en una manta de <a href="http://www.filminthefridge.com/2012/03/19/windmill-whimsy-2/">Film in the Fridge</a>,. Seleccionamos primero la tela de atrás de tela de sábana con lunares coloridos. Luego el deber era hacer cuadros inspirados en esos colores y evitar las telas floreadas para que la manta fuera disfrutable para un varón.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Como se me acabó el pegamento en aerosol probe un método nuevo para fijar las capas. Tengo muchos problemas con los alfileres de gancho, simplemente no logro que las capas me queden lisas. El método lo vi en la www, lamentablemente no anoté el sitio. Se trata de enrollar las dos capas de telas en tablas de madera. Luego se coloca el relleno en el medio y se van desenrollando por secciones. Se trabaja hilvanando solo la parte que está desenrollada de manera que es fácil controlar que todo esté alineado y lisito. Sólo tuve problemas en los bordes y las esquinas, para la próxima vez cuidaré de hilvanar esa parte más denso asi no se mueven las telas durante el quilteado. </div>

<i><span style="text-align: center;">With two friends we put together a quilt for Paula and her soon to be born </span></i><i><span style="text-align: center;">baby boy </span></i><i><span style="text-align: center;">. It was inspired by one posted in <a href="http://www.filminthefridge.com/2012/03/19/windmill-whimsy-2/">Film in the Fridge,</a> <strike>I will look for the link later</strike>. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="text-align: center;">We selected the back first, big colorful polka dots, then the </span><span style="text-align: center;">assignment</span><span style="text-align: center;"> was to make the </span><span style="text-align: center;">blocks</span><span style="text-align: center;"> matching the colors of the back. The other rule was to avoid flowers to make it as boyish as we could. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="text-align: center;">I run out of the spray glue for basting. Since I have trouble with pins, I decided to try something I saw somewhere on the web. I rolled the top and the back of the quilt neatly on two wood boards. I put the bottom then the batting and the top ... on top. I gradually unrolled sections of the quilt and with needle and thread basted the quilt. It worked very well except that I had trouble quilting the edges and the corners. Next time I will do that part more dense so that the fabric layers do not shift so much. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="text-align: center;">I free </span><span style="text-align: center;">motion</span><span style="text-align: center;"> quilted with white thread but I did not take a </span><span style="text-align: center;">picture</span><span style="text-align: center;"> of the finished quilt.

I used the batiks I bought long time ago. I use to love them. Then I lost that love. But lately I have been working with lighter fabrics and with the shorter gray days of the winter coming somehow those bright colors fit perfectly. </i><br />

La cosa es que fui armando las telas en el piso y terminé ocupando toda la superficie caminable. Entonces decidí apurarme a coserlo porque la altenativa era recoger todas las noches. Terminé de cortar y armar en dos fines de semana mas algunas horas que pude ponerle durante la semana despues de trabajar. Tengo la guata y me falta la parte de atras. Quedó de dos plazas asi que el acolchado va a ser un poco cansador.<br />
<br />
<i>The thing is that as I lay the fabric on the floor I ended taking over the room. That meant that I had to get busy and start sewing. There was no way I would pick everything up at night. So from start to end it took two weekends and some afterwork hours on the weekdays. The top is about 70 inches square. I do not have a decent fabric for the back. But the good news is that I do have batting, and living in Uruguay that is good news indeed.</i><br />

Recibí la noticia que falleció mi tia abuela. Ella y mi tío fueron personas que admiré. Ella una dama inglesa suave, distinguida, cálida, hermosa. Ella me enseñó a cortar los tomates para la ensalada. Él entretenido, siempre con algo interesante para contar, rodeado de un ambiente bello. Atrás están las historias viejas de madrastras injustas, mi abuelo desclasado, diferencias que felizmente no heredé y no me importaron. Hoy no tengo remordimientos, los quise y creo que ellos lo supieron. Brindo por las vidas hermosas y deseo que alguien piense eso de mi el dia que ya no me quede cuerda para seguir.</div>

<i>I found out that my great aunt died a few days ago. Babs and my great uncle Guillermo were persons that I admired. She was The English lady (truly English living in Uruguay), distinguished, warm, beautiful. She taught me the right way to cut tomatoes for salads. He was fun, always had interesting stories to tell, and surrounded himself with everything that was beautiful. I never minded the stories of the bad step mother, the injustices to my own grandfather´s. I have no regrets, I loved them and I think they knew. I raise a cup to toast for beautiful people wishing that somebody can do the same for me when I go.</i><br />

La pista de carrerras es sostenida por un muro de piedra de aspecto centenario, por eso se ven los vehículos mas abajo. El frontón también es centenario, construidos por inmigrantes vascos a principios del siglo XX.

Los dos cementerios los encontramos por casualidad. después de errar en una bifurcación del camino. Había algunas flores en las tumbas saqueadas. Cuando encontramos nuestra ruta llegamos a Manguera Azul. Un hermoso corral de piedra hecho con la pizzarra negroazulada de la zona.<br />
<i>At one point on our way home we missed a turn and ended finding two old cemeteries. There were some flowers left by visitors but overall it looked abandoned.

<i> Some quilting was also done. For a block, exchange. I could pretend they got lost in the mail and keep them all... but I would miss the fun of finding what other people build with fabric. Plus the blocks are 20 cm so I still get to make another bunch to get to a decent size blanket.</i><br />

También hubo algo de costura. Podría hacer de cuenta que el correo anda mal y conservar los todos para mi. Pero son para un intecambio y si me bajo me pierdo la oportunidad de ver que es lo que otras hacen con telas. Además como los bloques son solo de 20 cm tengo que hacer otro lote para que quede una manta de un tamaño decente.<br />

Fue una visita de trabajo, no de paseo. Me encantó la combinación de montañas con el mar. Yo soy una persona de la costa, el mar me carga las pilas. La montaña no ha sido lo mio pero no tendría mucho problema en agregar unas montañas en mi pasiaje de todos los dias. Durante el fin de semana visité unos amigos que viven en la isla Victoria. Eso si que fue hermoso, además del mar y las montañas con sus picos nevados hay hermosos bosques y pasé unos riquísimos dias soleados en buena companía.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am a coastal person the sea charges my batteries I´m not a mountain forest person but I would gladly add those to my landscape. Over the weekend I was able to visit some friends that live in Victoria... now I could definitively live with that: more water, mountains, plus the forests and the happy feeling of being in good company on a sunny day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Vivo en Uruguay, aqui no hay montañas pero se puede comprar lana a buen precio. Cada uno se consuela como puede, vió? Compré un kilo de lana por 190 pesos, eso es un poco menos de 10 dólares. Son saldos en ovillos de todos los tamaños que funcionan bárbaro para hacer cuadraditos de crochet. Fue divertido recordar como hacer los puntos. El plan es hacer una manta chica. Calculé que tengo que hacer unos 70 cuadrados, llevo hecho menos de la mitad asi que tengo para divertirme un rato. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I live in Uruguay, there are no mountains here but I was able to buy 1 kilo of wool for 190 pesos... that is less than 10 dollars for more than two pounds of wool. They were remanents so they are perfect for granny squares. It was fun to relearn to make them the plan is to make a smalll blanket. I calculated that I need about 70 squares.

El tesoro del dia fue el disco LP de Pedro y el Lobo que encontró Pepe. Era la misma edición que escuchaban en su casa cuando eran niños. En la feria había unas cuantas chucherías de esas que me hubiese llevado a casa. También algo de buena música. En mi próxima vida me gustaría aprender a tocar el bandoneón.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">On sunday we went to Tristan Narvaja´s Flee Market in Montevideo. The treasure of the day was an LP with a recording of the children´s tale Peter and the Wolf. It is the same one that my husband and his siblings had at home when growing up. The market was full of antiques and triquents that I would have taken home, if it wasn´t that I do not need more stuff. There was </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">also </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">some good music .

Le hice el quilting el sábado. Estoy en la duda si agregarle más o dejarlo asi. Estuvo bueno, comencé en una punta en diagonal y seguí sin parar llendo y viniendo hasta que regresé al punto de partida. En dos pasadas cubrí todo el quilt.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I have now finished quilting my hourglass quilt. The one I started 7 years ago. I am not sure if I will add more quilting to it. I started from one corner and went on back and forth until I returned to the starting point. I covered the whole quilt in to trips.</span><br />

Comencé este quilt reversible hace más de 6 años. Estuvo destinado al olvido varias temporadas pero antes de ponerme a hacer cosas nuevas decidí terminarlo. Lo hice usando las instrucciones de una revista que, entretanto, presté y perdí. Por eso decidí sacarle fotos al procedimiento antes de olvidarlo. La idea es un "quilt as you go", se arma cada cuadro y se hace el acolchado antes de unirlos. Yo decidí que el acolchado lo voy a hacer a máquina al final para darle estabilidad a la manta.<br />
<br />
Cuando comencé este quilt todavía lavaba todas las telas antes de empezar. Esa fue mi mayor frustración la tela perdió el apresto y se deshilachó fue imposible de escuadrar bien. Pero viviendo con las imperfecciones seguí adelante.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I started this quilt more than 6 years ago following the instructions from a magazine that, since then, I lend to a friend and never got back. It is a reversible quilt as you go. However I decided to do the quilting on my machine after I finish the block to give the quilt more strength. I wrote the instructions for the block before I forget the way they are built. When I started the quilt I was washing all the fabrics. It was a mess, a big mess. The fabric became unruly and frustrating to work with. Live and learn, that is why is the preferred fabric for rag quilting!</span><br />
<br />
Cada bloque se arma con 4 cuadrados que en este caso son de 4.5 pulgadas. <span style="font-size: x-small;">Each block is built with four squares of fabric, these are 4.5 inches. I actually did some strip piecing but for the purpose of this tutorial I have 4 squares. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"></div>Luego se unen dos parejas de cuadros alternando los colores. <span style="font-size: x-small;">The squares are sewn together alternating the design.</span><br />

Se ve clarito lo que paso con las telas al lavarlas, las rayas van para cualquier lado. <span style="font-size: x-small;">The union of the 4 pieces of fabric will be the center of the block so it is important to pay attention to neatness there. You can see clearly what the washing did to the blue fabric. </span><br />

Ahora que tengo tela blanca en abundancia podría empezar a jugar con lo que aprendí. Me preocupa la fijación de los colores. Prefiero las mantas hechas para usar y lavar en lugar de las que quedan colgadas en la pared. Dicho esto recuerdo que tengo un quilt en la pared de mi cuarto y ya me tiene cansada. En fin, si los colores hechos a mano no aguantan la lavadora entonces prefiero no entrar en ese mundo. Pero ya tengo las anilinas y la tela blanca. puff. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In January together with the watercolor workshop I took a fabric dyeing class. I now have white cotton to start practicing what I learned. I am worried about the color fastness of hand dyed fabric. I prefer quilts made to wear and wash instead of wall hangings. Having said that I remember that I am sick and tired of the quilt that is hanging on my bedroom wall. The point is, if my dyeing is going to bleed in the washer machine then I rather not go there. But I already have the dye, and the white fabric is waiting.</span></span>Ceciliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349198967773115351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645417148001372172.post-68460617578441317142011-01-26T12:58:00.003-02:002011-01-26T15:57:18.890-02:00Lisos - Solids<div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38879978@N07/5387326148/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="" height="320" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5211/5387326148_31640e8580.jpg" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" width="281" /></a><br />

I live about a mile form the beach but by the time I get home after work I am too lazy to go, plus the long days mean that I go to bed way too late. I started playing with a charm pack of "Quilter´s candy solids" I bought at <a href="http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm">Connecting Threads</a>. I tried a bunch of ideas and ended with this. I added little squares (of kona solids) for interest. I am very happy with the border (1 inch squares). The sashing and borders are Kona Coal. <br />
Now I have to figure out how to quilt it. My free motion quilting is sloppy and it makes me afraid of ruining the top.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hace calor! Vivo medio cerca de la playa pero para cuando llego a casa me da mucha pereza volver a salir. Además los dias son largos entonces termino acostandome muy tarde. <br />
Durante estas tardes calientes me puse a jugar con una colección de solidos (Quilter´s candy Solids) que compré en <a href="http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm">Connecting Threads</a>. Probé degradé y aleatorio y ordenado, al final me quedé con esto. Tres filas de azules y verdes, dos de neutros y tres de amarillos, naranjas y violetas. Agregué cuadraditos de algodón sólido de Kona para completar dar movimiento. Me encanta como quedó el borde que tiene cuadraditos de una pulgada. EL gris es Kona coal.<br />
Ahora tengo que decidir como hacer el capitoneado. No me tengo mucha fe para hacer un trabajo prolijo si me pongo creativa.</span>Ceciliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349198967773115351noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4645417148001372172.post-21983958200677491632011-01-25T09:08:00.002-02:002011-01-25T15:54:37.552-02:00acuarela - watercolor<div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38879978@N07/5387326226/" title="photo sharing"><img alt="" height="318" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5214/5387326226_a220e191fa.jpg" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" width="320" /></a><br />

I made these three little tops out of 6 inch squares. Yesterday I pieced the three backs,pictures of them later. I am proud that all the scraps went into the backs. I cut a twin size white sheet and was able to make the three backs adding a bit of scraps. I have this idea of selling my quilts over the summer at Jose Ignacio, Maldonado, Uruguay. The plan is to make a half a dozen simple cute quilts and see how it goes. While making them I discovered that I can "work" into the night without even thinking about it. This rarely if ever happens with my day job. <br />
The picture was taken at my sister-in law´s house. A turn of the Century mansion with a beautiful patio Andaluz. Valentin, on of my nephews was paly around while I snaped the pictures.</span><br />

Ando a toda máquina con planes de vender acolchados en José Ignacio durante el verano. Estas colchas estan hechas de cuadrados de 6 pulgadas (el ancho de una de mis reglas), saqué las partes de atrás de una sábana, combinando con los retazos que quedaron al cortar los cuadrados. Ya tengo 6 tops prontos para armar los sanguches, todos de distintos tamaños, todos simples y alegres.<br />

Me resulta interesante que puedo llegar de mi trabajo cansada y ponerme a cortar y coser por horas sin siquera notarlo. Es no me pasa con mi trbajo "de verdad", el que paga las cuentas. La foto fue sacada en la casa de una cuñada, una mansión de más de cien años con un hermoso patio Andaluz. Mi sobrino Valentín estaba jugando a la escondida mientras yo sacaba las fotos.Ceciliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13349198967773115351noreply@blogger.com2
