Q.I. Classics: Quilts of Guatemala by Priscilla Bianchi

From her home in Guatemala, Central America, Priscilla Bianchi creates quilts, fabrics, and quilt patterns in a dazzling array of color. Her quilts are inspired by the vibrant "huipiles" or tunics, woven by the native Mayan women in patterns that are unique to each village. We first featured Priscilla's work at Quilt Inspiration in April, 2010.

Specialty Mug Rug

Remember this little 7 Sisters quilt that’s the size of a 2.5″ hexagon that I made with .50″ 60-degree diamonds?

IMG_8119wtmk

Well, it has turned into a specialty mug rug. A mug rug for Timbits. Timbits are from the Tim Hortons coffee/doughnut chain here in Canada. They’re basically doughnut holes that are pretty much irresistible and come in a variety of flavours. A friend didn’t believe that a Timbit could fit on each one of the tiny stars in the

Getting Ready to Add to the Garden and A Question

15 May 2013 | Other RSS posts by

Yesterday I finished adding labels to two little quilts. The nosegay block I showed yesterday was turned into one of those labels.

I’m almost finished making the little flowers that will be in my tiny garden quilt, so decided I’d better print some hexagons and half hexagons on a green fabric for the leaves and grass around the flowers. In just a couple of minutes I had these .50″ hexagons and half hexagons printed and cut out.

It’s a Small World and I’m Mad

14 May 2013 | Other RSS posts by

Mad about miniatures, that is. Yesterday afternoon I decided to dive back into this wonderfully wacky world of tiny blocks and printed some of the kites from the Periwinkle Octagon collection and some QSTs on white fabrics, used some diamonds that were already printed for the Candy Stars doll quilt along with a green kite I had printed previously and then cut some light green squares that finish at 3/8ths of an inch. Yes, you read that right – 3/8ths of an inch.

Lifesaver quilt – blogger’s quilt festival entry

14 May 2013 | Other RSS posts by
This is my entry in the blogger's quilt festival in the category Two Color Quilt.
It is one of those quilts that get better and better while making them... I had a pretty good picture in my mind, but when I out the pieces together and the quilt actually became a quilt, I was more and more intrigued with it.
The red fabric is mainly Moda Mama Said Sew.
Ah, and by the way, the quilt is what I call monster size... :)

Little Flowers

I’m working on a small project that has to be finished quickly. So out came the baggie full of  .50″ hexagons that had already been printed on fabrics and I began making the flowers. My little garden is only going to have a dozen or so flowers. They go together quickly with a simple running stitch so I know I can complete it quite easily and have time to add some embellishments.
