This month, I was doing an exercise looking for some Mexican inspiration in my environment to put into a patchwork.
It was very interesting to discover that just at Grandma Alfredo´s house I found these beautiful peaces of Talavera full of designs on it.
In downtown city, I took this picture of a floor that it´s a patchwork, isn´it ?
In an Arabs store I took this picture, meanwhile they were playing backgammon and by the way I did not know it was a very ancient Turkish game.
At the famous Cafe Tacuba I felt the designs, the colors, the form, there is inspiration everywhere!!
But I need an extra-life to be able to design and to finish all I would like to do it, ha ha ha
Por otro lado, el dar clases me obliga a aprender y realizar proyectos que toman gran parte de mi tiempo, pero bueno eso es una de mis pasiones.
On the other hand, teaching force me to learn and to have done projects that take a big part of my time, well it is one of my big passions.
Here is Elizabeth doing a Mola with the reversible appliqué technique, it looks very nice at the end.
The best of all in patchwork is we can infect new generations, here is my youngest student, Melissa very concentrated, she is angelica´s daugther.
Cambiando de tema, recibí dos lindos presentes por el día de las madres, el regalo de Marión estuvo muy creativo, se nota que estudia Diseño, que lindo hacer algo con sólo un poco de periodico y mucho cariño!
Changing subject, I received two beautiful presents for Mother´s day, Marion´s gift was wrapped in a very creative manner, is noticeable she is studying design. Very nice to do something special with just a piece of news paper and lots of love!
This is her gift, a very nice notebook to write all my stuff of patchwork, just the thing I was looking for!!
Hands to the work, I am writing on it and putting order in my notes, I hope I can keep this way, honey, thanks for your present!!
Deborah gave me this bautiful butterfly just in my favorite color!! Just I have to to change the chain because it irritate my skin a little.
But I like the change more, I put a strip the same color!! Thank you very much Deborah, I take you in my heart.
My self present was a little change of image, I cut my hair!! it was difficult to me to decide because I have been a long hair for long time, but finally I did it and I like it to much!
The challenge of the month was to do a Kaffe Fassett quilt.
I selected some pre cut squares my friend Greg brought me from Germany two or three years ago?? I can not remember. Well the truth is I just had to get different color fabric to make the frames, because none of them is repeated.
And Voilá !! Here is it finished, I used all the Greg squares and it neither remained none was missed, what an exact project, right?
