I know it has been a while. I have been busy and not complaining about it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uwja6NyR6Hc/W5ocZv7j9bI/AAAAAAAAI3Q/W2fXQAHVDQgX8QrxqL2xgUNfqeTRRxtFACLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-09-13%2Bat%2B09.11.43.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="841" data-original-width="784" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uwja6NyR6Hc/W5ocZv7j9bI/AAAAAAAAI3Q/W2fXQAHVDQgX8QrxqL2xgUNfqeTRRxtFACLcBGAs/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-09-13%2Bat%2B09.11.43.png" width="298" /></a></div>
But another things has happened which I have not shared with you yet. As of 11/9 I am a British Citizen. I arrived in the UK exactly 17 years ago, to the day of my citizenship ceremony, so it was just about time I become British and get the right to vote. I have been in this country contributing to society, paying my taxes and welfare contributions for 17 years and could not vote in national elections, no way could I go on like that for much longer.<br />
<br />
So yay, I am British now and am celebrating it with a HALFBRITISHSALE in the shop where 70 items, mostly quilts, are 50% off.<br />
<br />
Also worth mentioning is that all quilts shipped in the UK get free shipping.<br />
<br />
Now let's celebrate everything British (I think it's time I make a Union Jack quilt, no?).<br />
<br />
Bottoms up!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do you remember these place mats/mug rugs that were published in Quilt Now magazine? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="570" height="239" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pLFGbS6khPY/WuhNdk8dJ2I/AAAAAAAAIxk/6tV_n5TFoisablLoV3nPLjBG2ApjBSP2QCLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.1449074169_oskg.jpg" width="320" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit, I have completely forgotten how much I loved making place mats. They are small and quick to make and the tight straight line quilting is really therapeutic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n8vwSXnSVoU/WuhNdT3KTaI/AAAAAAAAIxg/Xu2Z0mccLikGDzSi9qPUxRjh9SBPo9hVQCLcBGAs/s1600/il_570xN.1447161607_67y5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="570" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n8vwSXnSVoU/WuhNdT3KTaI/AAAAAAAAIxg/Xu2Z0mccLikGDzSi9qPUxRjh9SBPo9hVQCLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.1447161607_67y5.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a way these are also quite unusual for me as I didn't until recently use lots of solids and making something completely with solids is a fairly recent passion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="570" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eT9vxr_oak8/WuhNc1EG0tI/AAAAAAAAIxc/AygNJ-j553g2u1-eaBPuLtcOMsy5XOmgACLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.1447161581_8eey.jpg" width="320" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also have a set of place mats with, wait for it ... Sandy Henderson fabric. I know, swoon right? Remember when we all went nuts over that collection? Well, I still have a little left and think I will make a quilt or maybe a table runner with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fcQxCbgwEi8/WuhNeaRFDKI/AAAAAAAAIxo/d-g4Jjx8QPYZrIk8PuEXs9ImLvyVsD9YQCLcBGAs/s1600/il_570xN.338416295.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="570" height="239" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fcQxCbgwEi8/WuhNeaRFDKI/AAAAAAAAIxo/d-g4Jjx8QPYZrIk8PuEXs9ImLvyVsD9YQCLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.338416295.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dw7jEwGAdg4/WuhNe9vG1hI/AAAAAAAAIxs/X03vy5xe7sU3fXEtp_MugB2ioCYVuF-9ACLcBGAs/s1600/il_570xN.356645505.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="570" height="239" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dw7jEwGAdg4/WuhNe9vG1hI/AAAAAAAAIxs/X03vy5xe7sU3fXEtp_MugB2ioCYVuF-9ACLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.356645505.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
And then there are the single mug rugs. This one, made with Kaffe Fassett fabrics, is reversible. I used to make everything reversible and stitched everything by hand before I ever had a sewing machine, but people didn't seem to be bothered about it so I stopped. Maybe I need to revisit that? Oh and I think it's time to get my precious double sides hand stitched quilts out and drool over them again. It has been a while.<br />
<br />
I hope you like these.<br />
Lots of love and until next time.<br />
Nadine<br />

Hello everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
have you seen my new snuggle blankets yet? I have listed 4 small snuggle blankets in the shop just to see if they will be popular. They all have soft fleece on the back, hence snuggle blanket, and they are all sized to fit in a pram or stroller or of course they can just be used for playing. I have used round corners for these and really love the effect. I might have to explore round corners for quilts too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They can all be found in the shop: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/QuiltedBlissByNadine">https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/QuiltedBlissByNadine</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't really pick one but I think this one might be my favorite. I just love the butterflies and the colors are stunning. </div>

This one is made with flannel on the top and fleece on the back and is therefore very aptly named 'Double Snuggle Blanket'. This fabric actually works perfectly for this purpose as it has a nice hand and is much thicker than normal cotton fabrics.</div>

Hello everyone,<br />
I know, anyone who knows me might think I've gone bonkers as I have always made extremely colorful quilts and have been known to throw the most bright colors together. But you know what, I think although I still love color and will always make colorful quilts, I have really grown to like crisp black and white or neutral monochromatic color schemes lately and I think I will go more in that direction in the future.<br />
<br />
Color palettes have been on my mind constantly and I will post about some ideas soon, but for now here is one of my recent black and white quilts. This one is a lap quilt or maybe large baby/toddler quilt or playmat. I used a number of different black and white prints with some Kona Ash, my go to neutral shade, and I love the result.<br />

<br />
And I LOOOOOVE this quilt which used lots of Kona solids with some splashes of black and white. I think I really need to explore this a bit more as I love the effect and I can imagine this in a number of different color palettes. <br />

<br />
What do you think? Do you like monochromatic color palettes or black and white quilts?<br />
<br />
I have also started a number of other black and white quilts so watch this space.<br />

Hi everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
do you remember when owls were all the rage and they were everywhere? In quilts of course but on children's clothing, household items, toys, cushions, you name it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, even if they might not be on trend anymore I still love owls and have a few around our house. I also have this baby quilt in the shop in my favorite colors, teal, lime, cerise with some splashes of orange.</div>

<br />
So what happened to the owl craze? I think it then went on to foxes and then stags and now bears?<br />
So what's next? I am not entirely on top of the trends and really not very good at keeping up with it all. But what animals are trendy now?<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />

I know we are all a bit depressed and the weather has been causing havoc for so long we are all desperate for some sunshine and blue skies. Well, it currently isn't looking too good and the heavens have opened up again to drown us in cold windy buckets of water.<br />
<br />
So if this isn't the best time for a sale to brighten our spirits then I don't know what. So to <b>celebrate May</b> and get the sun to come out finally after such a long winter I have added a lot of <b>colorful items</b>, especially baby quilts, to the sale category and they are all <b>10% off. </b><br />
<br />
You won't need a coupon, the discount is automatically taken off.<br />
<br />
I hope this brightens your spirits a bit and fingers crossed for some Spring weather soon.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />
Nadine<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />

<br />
how do you bind your quilts? Do you hand stitch the binding or do you machine bind? I used to do my binding by hand for many years and never even considered trying machine binding. I have to say I used to be quite snobby about it and considered it cheap and lazy.<br />
<br />
Wow, how my views have changed and I now only do the binding on the machine. I really prefer the added safety and I love the process of stitching on the binding. It is one of my favorite steps in making a quilt.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Do you hate it or love it?<br />

<br />
Here are some photos from my first machine bound quilt now quite some time ago.<br />

today I want to share with you what's on my To Make list and what patterns and designs I really want to try this year.<br />
<br />
I have to say, I am a creature of habit. I always end up making the same sort of designs, with slight variations, and I rarely try something I consider difficult or where I am just not sure how to go about it. I guess most of the time I really just don't know how to sew those things and I find instructions often quite unhelpful. So here is my list of projects to tackle this year:<br />
<br />
I really want to make a Spiderweb quilt (here some inspiration by Jenner Sampou).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BfyfhVNyyJQ/Wt7oYyFw-ZI/AAAAAAAAIwk/IDoopO0VNXwCak_FLdVBuUL-fiZ8rY5YgCLcBGAs/s1600/665abdf1a8752d06d83651a68eb8b775--fabric-design-jennifer-oneill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="474" height="236" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BfyfhVNyyJQ/Wt7oYyFw-ZI/AAAAAAAAIwk/IDoopO0VNXwCak_FLdVBuUL-fiZ8rY5YgCLcBGAs/s320/665abdf1a8752d06d83651a68eb8b775--fabric-design-jennifer-oneill.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I am also determined to try Foundation Paper Piecing soon and I have bought the pattern for the Cadence Court quilt by Sassafras Lane.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--C9bVq3MkZo/Wt7oYsfzedI/AAAAAAAAIwg/Cc9Hyw9HVhU9yH17GcSJbype4zexLRRYACLcBGAs/s1600/cadence_court.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--C9bVq3MkZo/Wt7oYsfzedI/AAAAAAAAIwg/Cc9Hyw9HVhU9yH17GcSJbype4zexLRRYACLcBGAs/s320/cadence_court.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Curved piecing is also something I wanted to try for ages but have been shying away from. And I really want to make the Glam Clam Quilt by Latifah Saafir.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AaJc52172dk/Wt7oYoIQYWI/AAAAAAAAIwc/dIl6vz76OEwOAhN8GR9yv9Lv_LA4XDlAwCLcBGAs/s1600/90ebfba14ab13c8a845336a67e0c6e48.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="820" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AaJc52172dk/Wt7oYoIQYWI/AAAAAAAAIwc/dIl6vz76OEwOAhN8GR9yv9Lv_LA4XDlAwCLcBGAs/s320/90ebfba14ab13c8a845336a67e0c6e48.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>
What is on your To Make list? Are there projects you always wanted to try and have been shying away from?<br />
<br />
Lots of love.<br />

Hello everyone, <br />
as you might know, I have been on Etsy (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/QuiltedBlissByNadine">https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/QuiltedBlissByNadine</a>) since 2011 and love it. I can spend hours snooping
around and checking out amazing shops and items. Sales have been
sporadic but that is to be expected with the amount of competition and
the way Etsy seems to be changing algorithms constantly and it's so hard
to keep up with all the requirements. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fJv3jjdZ3ww/Wtma-hr01oI/AAAAAAAAIv4/WBS00w1YzwUcw0kH99mbPaI90a-nMFbIgCLcBGAs/s1600/il_570xN.728131219_2t36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="570" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fJv3jjdZ3ww/Wtma-hr01oI/AAAAAAAAIv4/WBS00w1YzwUcw0kH99mbPaI90a-nMFbIgCLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.728131219_2t36.jpg" width="248" /></a></div>
<br />
I am adding a few examples of quilts that either have sold or that are still in the shop.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQW4anI7Xd4/Wtma_BXP3MI/AAAAAAAAIv8/gDPekuZ3aGAAQAzIreXy19kRTAHoFebkgCLcBGAs/s1600/il_570xN.783957937_j3wu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="570" height="243" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQW4anI7Xd4/Wtma_BXP3MI/AAAAAAAAIv8/gDPekuZ3aGAAQAzIreXy19kRTAHoFebkgCLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.783957937_j3wu.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
But it's fair to say Baby Quilts sell the most in my shop and I need to maybe do some more market research about trends and what buyers actually want. <br /><br />So now the question is of course <span style="font-weight: bold;">"What do babies want?"</span> or maybe it should be <span style="font-weight: bold;">"What do new mums want?"</span> or maybe what do people want who buy gifts for new parents?<br /><br />Should it be lots of <span style="font-weight: bold;">cute fabrics with animals and toys</span> etc.?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RqAH9zMeLY0/Wtma-jQQGCI/AAAAAAAAIv0/Co3RT2FrVvA8hnlTS3Tw4cIp1kvxLloCgCLcBGAs/s1600/il_570xN.783953071_n9km.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="570" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RqAH9zMeLY0/Wtma-jQQGCI/AAAAAAAAIv0/Co3RT2FrVvA8hnlTS3Tw4cIp1kvxLloCgCLcBGAs/s320/il_570xN.783953071_n9km.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />What about <span style="font-weight: bold;">colors</span>, very colorful and bright or rather muted baby pinks and blues? My tendency is to go with very colorful fabrics as that is what I like but maybe that is not what buyers want. I have seen how the quilts that have sold over the years have been fairly colorful but then my sales are quite sporadic these days so maybe colorful is just not in anymore.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I have also joined <b>Mumsnet.com </b>and tried to find out what people want but have not had a lot of responses. The ones who did respond said they don't actually use quilts at all, they all use those little onesies for baby to sleep in. I am not sure how representative that is and whether that is only a specific group of mums. They also said they prefer muted pastel colors, so is that the trend now? I have made some quilts in greys and peaches just to see but they have not had much attention yet so maybe those are not quite right either.<br />
<br />

<br />Any
advice? What would you want? Sorry, of course I know you are not a baby
:), but maybe you are a new mum, or a mum to be or you have friends who
have a baby. <span style="font-weight: bold;">What would they want?</span> Or maybe you know what works well with babies and toddlers? <span style="font-weight: bold;">What would a toddler like? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">If you know how I could get some more information on market research and how to find out what buyers want I would also really appreciate it. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>

I have been wondering what my customers really want and what products I might make to appeal to the new mum/baby shower/new baby gift market.<br />
<br />
All my quilts are ready made ship next day but I have noticed many customers say the baby is still on the way and they are not even bothered about quick shipping. So I am wondering whether custom baby quilts would appeal to more buyers.<br />
<br />
I could offer modern baby quilts using mainly solids and I could let them choose form a number of different options.<br />
<br />
So for instance they could choose Half Square Triangle quilts like this one (but smaller).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lTwh73u0hFQ/WthInPHF-FI/AAAAAAAAIvI/TcSVuE1N3z8A6Vh4kFqWiDxCzkAty-rFwCLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-19%2Bat%2B08.35.23.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="754" height="209" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lTwh73u0hFQ/WthInPHF-FI/AAAAAAAAIvI/TcSVuE1N3z8A6Vh4kFqWiDxCzkAty-rFwCLcBGAs/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-19%2Bat%2B08.35.23.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Or they could choose the stripes option like this one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OtBbz9vA3ds/WthIrINkW6I/AAAAAAAAIvM/oJ9lHdyqrAQgKdfPkGSDSYh3DSLPCVzFwCLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-19%2Bat%2B08.32.26%2Bcopy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="806" data-original-width="1077" height="239" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OtBbz9vA3ds/WthIrINkW6I/AAAAAAAAIvM/oJ9lHdyqrAQgKdfPkGSDSYh3DSLPCVzFwCLcBGAs/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-19%2Bat%2B08.32.26%2Bcopy.png" width="320" /></a></div>
Or other shapes like crosses for instance.<br />
<br />
And then they choose the color scheme and I would probably provide a number of options as I can't possible have all colors in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A8T7xg5VGh4/WthItlX9bpI/AAAAAAAAIvQ/jPNKKK7WFSkRP-G2WNNkT-dJwXbeWx5jwCLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-19%2Bat%2B08.33.09%2Bcopy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="1061" height="242" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A8T7xg5VGh4/WthItlX9bpI/AAAAAAAAIvQ/jPNKKK7WFSkRP-G2WNNkT-dJwXbeWx5jwCLcBGAs/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-04-19%2Bat%2B08.33.09%2Bcopy.png" width="320" /></a></div>
What do you think? Do you think that would appeal more to buyers of baby quilts? Or do you think they prefer ready to ship quilts? I really need to do some market research but have no idea how. Any advice would be very welcome.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
I am sharing something with you today that is very dear to my heart and has given me so much joy over the last 2 years or so. My Quiltography app on the iPad.<br />
<br />
It is so much fun to play with block designs and quilt concepts or to experiment with color schemes. I can spend hours on it and it pisses the Monkey off when I am on my Quiltography in the evening when he wants us to watch a good film or a TV show. He hate sit with a passion, but only because I can't keep away from it too long.<br />
<br />
This is the finished layout for the stars quilt published in QuiltNow (and now living in its forever home with a lovely customer in the US).<br />

I love that I can upload my whole stash and then play with blocks made with images of my stash ( I have to admit though, I have given up on uploading everything I own (my stash is huge and it would probably break the iPad).<br />

I can also create my own blocks or use traditional blocks the app already provides.<br />

Here you can see the concepts and blocks and the finished quilt layout for the improv quilt that was published in QuiltNow (not sure which one, would have to check).<br />
<br />
I know the app is quite pricey but I think it is worth every penny.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you use it as well and how you get on with it.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />

I am not sure whether you've noticed, if you've been keeping up with Instagram or the shop, but I have really been getting into this sort of rustic southwest trend with browns, oranges and blues and I have recently made quite a few things (and there are more to come) in that type of colorway.<br />
<br />
There is something about those colors in a modern or even rather retro environment that looks really appealing to the eye. I think it's maybe that we see that kind of look everywhere these days and the southwestern, rustic or even tribal look is everywhere. I follow quite a few interiors boards on Pinterest or Instagram and you just can't avoid that trend at the moment. And as resistant I am with trends normally, that one seems to have hit a nerve.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Do you like this trend? Are you into the whole rustic, western tribal look yourself? I would love to know what floats your boat (or horse) at the moment in terms of color trends and interiors.<br />
<br />
Love, Nadine <br />
<br />
I have made a few quilts that fit this trend, like this one:<br />

yes, believe it or not, 2 blog posts in the same week, incredible, eh?<br />
<br />
I have a few different items for you today. I have also been working on my heart garlands as those are very popular and everyone keeps suggesting I should make some in different colorways. So that's what I did. I created 13 different types of garlands and today I'll share just a few. Some are fairly monochromatic and some combine colors which I thought go well together. Let me know what you think about these. I will share some more with you another day.<br />
<br />
Lots of love, Nadine<br />

yes, it's that time again when I finish a whole pile of projects all at once (happens usually about 3 times a year) and upload them all in the shop. I can't possibly share all of these quilts and other items in one post, there are simply way too many. So I will start with a few quilts today and share some more with you another day. Yes, you will have to be patient!<br />
<br />
Ok so here goes. These 5 quilts are all very different and some of them took me forever to make. The Echo quilt for instance has been giving me such headaches and in the end I decided to make it smaller to actually be able to finish it.<br />
<br />
The Kona quilt is a new love for me and as you will see I am using more and more solids and want to explore quilting with just solids a bit more. I have also been getting into more neutral colors, I know, very unusual for me. Normally my quilts scream of color. So watch this space, there will be more like that.<br />
<br />
All quilts are already in the shop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/QuiltedBlissByNadine<br />
<br />
I hope you like these and watch out for the next lot of posts. I have so much more to share with you.<br />
Lots of love, Nadine <br />
<br />
Kona solids quilt with black velvet backing, I really want to make more solids quilts:<br />

<br />
I currently have no WiPs and am trying to decide where to go from here. I have tons of fabric so one of my intentions for 2018 is definitely to work with my stash and maybe even destash some more fabrics I think I might not use (see instagram for current destash items).<br />

I also am thinking I might try something new and will experiment a bit with more modern minimalist designs. I think I will use more solids<br />

What do you think? What should I make and what do you think would sell in my Etsy shop? I am determined to sell more and am happy to try some new designs this year.<br />

Lots of love and happy sewing,<br />

and please accept my apologies for neglecting the blog for so long, I think I haven't actually been on blogger for a few months now. I have to say it just doesn't come naturally anymore to post blog posts when it is so much easier to just post something on Instagram. It's all about the photos anyway. But even on Instagram I have been following people more than actually posting things myself. I know, how can anyone see my quilts if I don't share them.<br />
<br />
<b>So here is just a quick update on what I have been up to.</b><br />
<br />
I have just sold a quilt to a customer in Sweden who wants it shipped to Barcelona, which just reminded me that my quilts have travelled far and many now live all over the world. I really want to make a map that shows where they all have gone to. So will have to work on that. Maybe I get one of those scratch maps, they look lovely.<br />

<br />
I have also been very busy making more quilts but I keep forgetting to actually share them on here or on social media. So here is a quick overview (and there are many more that you can see in the shop):<br />

<span id="goog_932836540"><b>So what's in store for 2018? </b></span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_932836540">I often get requests from potential customers who are asking for larger quilts or larger versions of the quilts I have and I really struggle to make larger quilts as I cannot baste them in our house unless they are a reasonable size (I know, we just need a bigger house, but for that I will need to sell A LOT more quilts:).</span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_932836540">So I am wondering what sizes most people would prefer and how do I consolidate the difference between UK and US sizes? </span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_932836540">Would it be easiest to make larger throwsized quilts that would at least fit on a Twin bed? </span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_932836540">Let me know if you have any advice on this. It would be greatly appreciated. And feel free to communicate on the other platforms if those are easier for you. </span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_932836540"><b>My sewing machines</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_932836540">.. both struggling and constantly breaking down (and the third little travel machine I can't use as I simply cannot manage to thread it, my eyes are just not good enough for that, especially in dark winter lighting conditions). So I think I might have to get a new machine, the ones I have are quite old now and have done a lot of work over the years. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span id="goog_932836540">And what about Art?</span></b><br />
<span id="goog_932836540"><br /></span>
<span id="goog_932836540">Well, that is another plan for the year, I definitely feel the urge to paint more and also draw and get back into illustration. So watch this space.</span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_932836540">I promise I will post a bit more often from now on but we'll have to see how it goes. I will probably need a reminder here and there.</span><br />

Lots of love,<br />

It just seems like time is flying by, there is so much to do and there is no time to blog.<br />
<br />
Besides, blogging feels like a monologue, like I am communicating in one direction but there is nothing coming back. facebook is better for communication as there are easier ways to respond or like etc. .... but I don't use Facebook that much either, nor Instagram, even though I am on it every day.<br />
<br />
I am maybe just not very good at communicating on the interwebs with people I don't know. How do you do it? Do you use blogging and social media a lot? Does it work for you? Do you ever yget frustrated that you get no response from anyone?<br />
<br />
I have to say an added difficulty is the image issue. No point in doing anything online without adding photos, but that usually means having to screenshot things from the shop and then download and then upload here and it's a hassle that doesn't seem worth it. My laptop and computers are just very old and I can't use the cloud and and ... <br />
<br />
Anywho, I have of course been very busy and have soooo many items that were finished but never posted here. Many are in the shop of course and many are not.<br />
<br />
So here is one and there are lots more in the shop. I will have to figure out a better way to access and use my images (and to take images in the first place).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/491610057/baby-quilt-colorful-quilt-baby-blanket?ref=shop_home_active_7">https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/491610057/baby-quilt-colorful-quilt-baby-blanket?ref=shop_home_active_7</a> <br />
<br />
I will try to blog a bit more often and see how it works and then decide whether I just want to get rid of the blog at some point if I see no point anymore in talking to myself.<br />
<br />
I hope you are all well and happy crafting.<br />
Nadine<br />

<br />
I could use some advice. I have just uploaded a lot of new quilts in the shop and this time I tried to change the way I photograph them. So the whole first page in the <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/QuiltedBlissByNadine?ref=hdr_shop_menu">shop </a></b>shows the new quilts and new photos while the second page shows the way I used to photograph my quilts.<br />
<br />
I really can't decide which photos I like better. On one hand I think the white background on the second page looks really good and makes the colors and designs stand out. On the other hand maybe the new photos are better as they show the quilts in a more tactile way.<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />
<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I do apologize for keeping you in the dark lately but as a lot of my quilting projects are for publication I can't really share my secret sewing with you, yet.<br />
<br />
But 2 recently finished quilt shave now been shown in Quilt Now and I am so excited I can finally share them with you.<br />
<br />
My Flee Market Fancy Stars quilt was published in issue 11.<br />

And the Crosses Quilt was published in issue 12. This is the quilt I was raving about in my Kona Solids WiP post recently. I hope you like it.</div>

<br />
I absolutely love how both of them were photographed and displayed in the magazine. I absolutely love the crosses quilt, it is so modern and vibrant and I can't wait to ge tit back and use it around the house.<br />
<br />
There are several other quilts coming up soon so keep your eyes on the magazine. I have also finished a number of projects for the shop and will share those with you very soon.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />

I know, SHOCKING, isn't it. I can't believe I have neglected this blog yet again. I suppose when I need to decide between the fabric that is calling for me to cut it up and the computer calling for me to write a blog post, well it's obvious which call I tend to follow.<br />
<br />
But I did finish another 12 baby quilts (2 have not been listed yet). I have been trying to use up some stash to make room for new collections, so I made some baby quilts for the shops. 2 quilts have already sold, you see I really left it too late and I am very embarrassed. I should have shown these to you sooner.<br />
<br />
But if you are not too mad at me for not blogging more often please have a look at these quilts and let me know what you think of the photos (the links take you to all the other photos in the shop listings, I did not want to include all of those here).<br />
<br />
I have treated myself to a new camera, a Canon powershot G16, and I am still trying to figur eit out. My greatest problem is asalways lighting and thse photos were all taken indoors in fairly bad lighting conditions and on an overcast day. I still have to lighten them in photoshop, no camera is going to change that, but I am still eager to improve them. <br />
<br />
I love my quilts dearly and always find the photos never do them justice. So any advice is welcome.<br />
<br />
I hope you like these.<br />
Lots of love,<br />
Nadine<br />

Hello everyone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh I can't tell you how excited I am about this quilt. It is actually finished now and not a WiP but when I took these photos it obviously wasn't. And it looks like this quilt will also be featured in Quilt Now at some point so I decided not to show you the end result. YET. Just wait for the magazine and see it there. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But even these progress shots are just gorgeous, no? I can't tell you how much I love Konas and black and white fabrics together. There is something about that look that really appeals to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7hBoWcnFn8U/VJl3jXwesPI/AAAAAAAAHrU/wLEP87-5uEs/s1600/IMG_3382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7hBoWcnFn8U/VJl3jXwesPI/AAAAAAAAHrU/wLEP87-5uEs/s1600/IMG_3382.JPG" height="320" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Auditioning fabrics and cutting them is one of my favorite steps. Although I have a real problem cutting into my most precious collections and if you follow this blog (or Facebook, Flickr, Instagram etc.) you might have noticed that I tend to use collections that are now a few years old as it took me so long to actually get them out, stop drooling over them and use some.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sUsqgIHHHw/VJl3kDa_eLI/AAAAAAAAHrY/u4I9dYUAv70/s1600/IMG_3391.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sUsqgIHHHw/VJl3kDa_eLI/AAAAAAAAHrY/u4I9dYUAv70/s1600/IMG_3391.JPG" height="320" width="238" /></a></div>
<br />
It is a pretty simple design, nothing special really. But most of my quilts are not too complicated designs, I prefer modern quilts that let the fabrics shine. I still haven't done any curves, nor have I tried paper piecing yet. But it is all on my to do list.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9rrZPIDyOQQ/VJl3kfFjFDI/AAAAAAAAHrg/xApJmVR3_CA/s1600/IMG_3400.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9rrZPIDyOQQ/VJl3kfFjFDI/AAAAAAAAHrg/xApJmVR3_CA/s1600/IMG_3400.JPG" height="238" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
And some fabric porn at the very end. Aren't these colors lovely? I have some Kona bundles that I just can't cut into at all as they look so perfect bundled up. <br />
<br />
So keep your eyes peeled (what a strange expression?) and I will share the finished quilt with you once it has been published in Quilt Now.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />
Nadine<br />

<br />
... and tada, my latest quilt in the previous issue of Quilt Now. I think this is actually my favorite of the quilts published so far. I love how it was shot and how the colors come across in the pictures.<br />

It is actually a super simple design, but I think it is quite effective. And as far the fabric, well, if you've been following the blog you know I love all the Rowan, Kaffe Fassett, Amy Butler, Phillip Jacobs I can get.<br />
<br />
I think these colors go really well together and believe it or not, but I still have some more of these fabrics. So you'll see another quilt made with these fabrics at some point.<br />

This quilt is actually about the largest size I can baste in my craft room and I hate basting (you might have noticed in other posts or on Instagram :). The one thing about quilting I can't stand at all and basting this quilt was, well, as usual with larger quilts, a nightmare. And I have just finished a quilt top that is actually too large to baste in my craft room. I will have to find a solution for that or else it will remain a quilt top only.<br />
<br />
I hope you like this quilt and maybe you have even seen it in Quilt Now. Oh, and if you haven't yet you should get a subscription, and gte it soon as you receive a free Aurifil Thread Set of Priory Square Threads by Katy Jones with your subscrition. They are gorgeous and it's a very good offer.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I have some more exciting news (you might have seen already), but I had 2 yes TWO quilts published in the latest issue of Quilt Now. I didn't even know they were both going to be in that issue. How exciting to find out when I opened the mag.<br />
<br />
I'll show you the english Country Garden Quilt some other time but first the Tula Pink Fabric Gallery. I am sure many of us hoard fabric, buy much more than we can possibly use, and then we can spend hours just drooling over our fabric. I personally find it really hard to cut into my precious collections. I buy fabric in Fat Quarter bundles and keep them that way. I don't sort by color or anything (although maybe I should). So taking that first cut into a collection I have been treasuring for ages, knowing I only have a fat quarter of each fabric to begin with, well that first cut is really hard.<br />
<br />
So I try to use only a little bit of those fabrics when the point comes that I feel I need to make something with them. The same goes for my Tula Pink stash. I have been hoarding them forever, my Birds and the Bees, Acacia, Foxfield and Moonshine. But by using only a little strip from each fabric I still have enough left to make some more quilts with it.<br />
<br />
That was the idea behind the Fabric Gallery Quilt. It is a really simple pattern when you think of it and it is fairly easy to assemble.<br />

Once again I only quilted the negative space in a tight stippling pattern and I really like it. I have some strips left from those fabrics (I always cut one 2.5" strip) and will make another quilt with them. I absolutel love those fabrics, the colots are devine, and those little foxes and rabbits, sooo cute.<br />
<br />
I hope you like this. I will show you the next one very soon.<br />
Lots of love,<br />
