(1) Las paneritas de Rosi y Pepa. Bread baskets for Rosi and Pepa. |
 |
| (2) la tela, provenzal, la traje del mercadillo de Carpentras hace unos cuantos años ya. The fabric, typical of the French region of Provence, was a small scrap that I got in the open market in Carpentras quite a few years ago. |
 |
| (3) La de Luci. Luci's bread basket |
 |
| (4) Aquí todavía sin acolchar. Here the bread basket has not been quilted yet. |
 |
| (5) abierta y sin acolchar todavía. flat open and not yet quilted. |
Las agarraderas (pot holders)
Las magdalenas para mis
amigas. Como siempre se quejan de que están gordas (seamos justos, no todas, pero la mayoría
de ellas; no voy a revelar nombres…) las hice en tela. Y así todas contentas.
 |
| (6) Todas diferentes pero parecidas. All the cupcakes are different but similar to each other. |
Si se observan con atención, todas contienen algún diseño de acolchado libre (Free motion quilting = FMQ) que practico al hacerlas.
Las dos siguientes están hechas aprovechando los diseños de acolchado de
Leah Day ("The Free Motion Quilting Project") que tiene un diseño para cada día del año.

| (7) meandros...meanders... |
 |
| (8) abanicos. fans
Agarradera y manopla de Dirci:

 |
| (9) Aquí el acolchado son lineas paralelas. Here the quilting is done in parallel lines |
 |
| (10) lineas paralelas. parallel lines. |
Con estos artículos de pequeño tamaño se avanza mucho en el acolchado.
Últimamente también sigo el blog de Lori Kennedy en "The inbox Jaunt". Esta última muestra el progreso del acolchado a través de excelentes fotos. Tiene diseños de manzanas, flores, tréboles, soles, peras, y hasta un cocodrilo! Voy a probar alguno de sus diseños en próximos proyectos.
Si tienes paneras, agarraderas y manoplas... las usas realmente, o son más bien un adorno que te da pena usar? Cuéntamelo en los comentarios.

These small articles lighten up your life. They are usually found in the kitchen or the dining room. You use them frequently, and they wear down.

(1) Bread baskets for Rosi and Pepa.
The advantage is that you can untie them and put them away in a drawer as they become completely flat.
(2) The fabric, typical of the French region of Provence, was a small scrap that I got in the open market in Carpentras quite a few years ago.
(3) Luci's bread basket
It matches a place mat set (to be seen in a future post)
(4) Here the bread basket has not been quilted yet.
(5) flat open and not yet quilted
It is important to quilt these bread baskets as quilting gives them better shape and higher resistance to hold the bread and to washing.
The cupcakes
These cupcakes are pot holders that I made for my friends. As they are always complaining that they are fat (not all of them, if we are to be fair - I'd rather not disclose any names...), I made them of fabric. And so, everybody's happy.
(6) All the cupcakes are different but similar to each other.
If you look closely, they are all quilted while practising my FMQ (Free motion quilting) ability.
I learnt most of this FMQ watching Leah Day's videos, at "The Free Motion Quilting Project". She has a design for each day of the year.

Lately I've also been paying close attention to Lori Kennedy's blog. "The inbox Jaunt". She bautiful designs of apples, flowers, shamrocks, suns, fruits and even a crocodile! And she shows progress in the quilting process with excellent photos. I'll try doing some of her designs in future projects.
If you have bread baskets, pot holders or oven mittens like these... Do you really use them, or are they rather a decorative item that you hang in the kitchen but do not really use so that they don't wear down? Tell me in the comments below.
