My newest obsession ...Earings

2015-03-20T00:53:00.001-04:00

My newest obsession is making custom embroidered earrings! They are so much fun to experiment and they are amazingly light weight! I don't like wearing heavy earrings that you feel relieved to take off at the end of the day. The embroidered ones you don't feel like you are wearing, because they are so light weight. I made some shamrocks for St. Patty's day, that were real hit my family and friends. The initial ones you can wear all year round! Customize them to an outfit or a special dress! Endless possibilities! Check out my Etsy shop for pictures of the Initial collection earrings!

Pretty colors in grey winter + more

2015-02-08T21:48:00.001-05:00

We are in a middle of winter and we have snow and ice on the ground. I Took a walk the other day and suddenly there is pop of green in my sight. Don't you love that green house? The guy that owns it used to own our movie theater in town. He is very artistic and has a lot of handmade art pieces in his garden. We love to walk by it and admire his creations. My kids favorite is a fountain frog, but it's frozen so I didn't take a picture of it. I have to say that green is my favorite color, so I know why I love that house. But those little flowers on the windows are so adorable! Just what I needed it to pick up my spirits! :)

Do you have a bright painted houses in your neighborhood?

I decided to listed some more items in my Etsy shop. I am working on the "meh" pillow.
Half of what we say, it's HOW we say it! True?

Also it will be perfect, if you don't love Valentine's day!

I also listed my Easter bunny, if you would like to order one better order soon. They are $ 19.99 + shiping. I am thinking of making a whole family of bunnies! :) I can make them different sizes. That it's the bigest size. The pattern is from Dolls and daydreams.

Happy sewing from Zlaty!

FIGHT Breast Cancer Tag and Alphabet Charm Necklaces

2015-02-05T09:32:00.001-05:00

I had fun this morning. Made this FIGHT the cancer tag for a friend and also I am gonna post it on my etsy shop. Everybody going trough that fight can use a little encouragement and support.

The peep is to be made into a hair clippie.

ALSO last weekend a digitizer needed a help testing Alphabet charms. So I volunteered to test the letter V or N. She sent me to test the V, let's say my youngest wasn't happy that I didn't make her a necklace with a charm with her initial. I had to ask for the letter N, too! I had two happy little girls afterwards . As a thank you for testing I got the whole Alphabet for FREE! YUPPIE!

What are you working on?

Love is in the air.... or hanging on my stove! :)

2015-01-27T09:17:00.001-05:00

We had our snow day yesterday, we got ....wait for it .....2inches! I love how the media likes to create drama...they call it historical storm. We were supposed to get between 5"and 9".
It is much worst in NY and MA, they got I believe 2 feet of snow, which is a lot. But how can event be historical before it happens?
I stayed warm and sewed. I made Rose flower towel topper. I am really happy how it turned out. I didn't follow the directions they had for making it because I didn't want to use spray adhesive.
What are you working on?

Happy sewing!

Need a little Spring? Look at that fabric!

2015-01-25T21:45:00.001-05:00

Here on the East Coast in US we are getting ready for another Winter storm. What season is where you live?

My favorite season is Spring, can't wait! I love to go for walks and be in the nature!
A customer asked me to make her pair of the Heart Oven Mitts. She wanted to match her kitchen in yellow, rust and brown. She picked this fabric from my stash! I love this print and how they turn out. I used Insulin-Bright and a layer of batting to make sure they are not just pretty but functional, too!

With the storm coming, I hope to get to sew and watch the snow falling, out if my window! Or maybe make a snowman?

Happy sewing!

Quilt for Very Dear Friend from Circle of Friends!

2014-11-05T09:04:00.001-05:00

BREAST CANCER, that is the scary diagnose that a member of our monthly Happy sewing club got. I decided that naturally we should make a quilt. That is what we do! It's a way to show our love and support for her.

Judy was diagnosed with breast cancer in August and decided to organize our sewing group to make the quilt ASAP. Judy already had a lot of health problems this year, she was looking forward next year. She had a very painful back surgery, while recovering she had to go trough a kidney stone surgery, then she got bitten by a tick and had her leg swollen, walking with crotches and got limes disease, and last she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

This is a picture of most of the ladies that help with the quilt.

Everyone made a block or more. Melissa donated the backing fabric. Eleanor donated fabric for the borders. Jean - my mother-in-law volunteer to piece it, add the border, piece the backing. She also did sew the binding by hand in one day! I quilted the quilt on my short arm machine.

Judy was beyond surprised and overwhelmed by our gesture. She deserves to know her friends love her and appreciate her! We are all wrapped around her in a form of the quilt to help her go trough this!

Bellow is the block that I made. Judy loves and raises chickens and also loves cats and dogs.

You can see the backing fabric here. This is a picture with the quilt on my machine.

More close ups of the quilt!

I hope that the quilt helps Judy when she has hard times as she is getting ready to start her chemo treatment. We love you Judy!

Meeting Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville!

2013-04-30T14:27:00.002-04:00

I was lucky to meet Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville. She was staying in a hotel in our town and my mother-in-law emailed her if she wanted to come visit her. My mother-in-law owns Happy Sewing Room quilt shop and has met Bonnie before.

My MIL Jean is a big fan of Bonnie's. Here she is showing her couple of the quilts she made using Bonnie's free patterns.

This is Melisa showing her quilts:

The quilts bellow is called Orange Crush, it's on my to make some day list! It was one of the quilt mysteries Bonnie is known for.

Melisa used blue and my MIL Jean used green. It looks so different, isn't it?

My MIL used her embroidery machine to embroider couple of the blocks, very creative and adding to the beauty of the quilt! Here you can see my MIL blog: happysewingroom.blogspot.com

It was a lot of FUN meeting Bonnie! She is easy going and a lovely person to talk to! Here is the post she made on her blog for her visit at the Happy sewing room.

Thank you for stopping by Bonnie! Till next time!

Happy sewing!

YAY for Quilted Pants!

2013-04-25T23:47:00.000-04:00

Do you watch "Project Runway"? I saw this picture at "Lord and Taylor" last weekend.

Did you know I used to work for Lord and Taylor? I was the Lead Alteration Specialist for one of their Philadelphia stores. Good times! :)

I am so excited that Michelle Lesniak Franklin won! If you watched the runway show, her opening look, fabulous wool dress was stunning and it was my favorite! I love that she incorporate quilting in a very modern and fashion forward way! YAY for quilting pants!

The runner up was Patricia Michaels. I really enjoyed her innovative techniques and I like that she incorporated her native american heritige in a very cool ways! Her closing blue dress was to die for and she even made the silver beading herself. (I will try to find pictures to add later)

This is one of the eliminated designers Layana Aquilar and I was her fan. She had some great looks and helped other designers too. I think she deserved to made it to the end, instead of Daniel, but that simply my opinion!

I am not in love with the teams this season, it made for more drama which, I guess is popular for the reality shows, but most people watch this show for the fashion, so

NO MORE TEAMS PLEASE!

What did you think of the runway show? I think it was one of the best seasons!

I am itching to make some dresses! So much inspiration so little time!

My Best Show and Tell!

2013-04-09T12:30:00.003-04:00

The title of my blog post says it ALL!

Meet my daughters! Natalie is 7 months already. I want her to stay baby, but she is growing up! Her big sister Veronica is 2 years and 3 months. They are the joy of our lives with my hubby. Life is never boring at our house!

The quilt behind the girls was made by their grammy Jean. You can see more of her creations here: happysewingroom.blogspot.com

TO all my blogging friends:

Please accept my apology for my absence from my blog. You know little kids keep you busy! :)

Here is a quilt I finished. I made it from customer's daughter baby clothes. I really love the quilt! It took a lot of time to cut up all the little baby clothes and fuse them, and to play with the layout. I didn't use any extra fabric is all baby clothes, except the binding and the backing!

I used light pink bubble fleece on the back and satin for the binding. The customer LOVE the quilt! She asked me to add a sleeve so she can hang it for keep sake! I have an order for another one on my to do list!

Keep an eye for more show and tell on my blog! I have been busy while not bloging! :)

Happy sewing!

Mermaid Quilt- my challenge quilt

2012-08-17T10:00:00.000-04:00

I participated in a challenge my mother-in-law had for fun. Many of you know she owns a Happy Sewing Room - a quilt shop and she had a booth at Hershey quilt show. She though it will be fun to have a challenge between the people that help her at the booth. The prize is that the winner get to pick next years fabric.

<--- This is the challenge fabric(the green bubbles). As soon as I saw it I thought of making ocean sean with fishes and bubbles from the challenge fabric. When I started working on the quilt I came up with the mermaid.

I love all the embellishments I did. Like the green neckless and the little belt. There are some blue stones on the rocks in the sand as well.

Here are the other quilts:

My Mother-in-law made this cute Owl quilt!

My father-in-law made coasters. He wasn't very inspired by the fabric.

Here is the winner this year. Trish made this stars quilt and the black really made them pop.

Everybody did a great job! I had a lot of fun creating my quilt and everybody was close, but Trish won. Congratulations Trish!
