And it was Sunday again

Today like every Sunday, I got together with my friends. It is such a wonderful feeling talking about crafts, ideas and sharing things with all these wonderful friends, that I feel much more inspired everytime I come back home. Since I took a bit of a break last week I have slowed down crafting, but after today I feel like starting all those new projects that are running around my head...dolls, placemats, aprons, more quilts, bags, drawings, collages, stencils...all those things are runnning around my head like potential things to make in the near future.

Hoy como cada domingo me he juntado con mis amigas. Es tan agradable juntarnos a hablar de trabajos manuales, ideas y compartir cosas con ellas, que me siento mucho mas inspirada cada vez que vuelvo a casa. Como me tome un descansito la semana pasada me he relajado un poco en esto de los trabajos manuales, pero despues de la reunion hoy me apetece empezar todos los proyectos que estan rondando mi cabeza...munhecos, mantelitos individuales, delantales, mas quilts, bolsos, bolsas, dibujos, collages...todas esas cosas andan por mi cabeza como cosas que posiblemente empezare en un futuro proximo.

My sister in law asked me to make her a quilt. She bought a wall hanging from India with an elephant on it. The initial idea was to put that in the center of the quilt and work around it with similar colors. But that piece of fabrics was dry clean only, so we figured it was better to leave it as a wall hanging and then I could make a quilt according to those colors. We found these fabrics and she asked me to make the quilt that is explained in the instructions. I am not sure if I like to follow those instructions or if I should just make up my own design...I have to give it a thought. Anyways, there is no hurry with this one.

Mi cunhada me ha pedido que le haga un edredon. Compro un tapiz indio con un elefante. Al principio pensamos en poner ese tapiz en el centro y coser alrededor con telas de colores similares. Pero ese tapiz era solo de limpieza en seco y decidimos que seria mejor dejar el tapiz en la pared y hacer un edredon con colores adecuados para que pegara bien. Encontramos estas telas y me pidio que se la hiciera siguiendo las instrucciones que vienen. No estoy muy segura de si me gustan las instrucciones o de si prefiero inventarme yo el disenho...tengo que pensarlo un poco mas. Bueno, de todos modos no hay prisas con este edredon.
