In this days...

...on my design wall

.....I'm thinking cups

I need a break...

Maybe a (patch)cup of coffee.....

....looking at the just re-opened swimming-pool in my garden.

Happy early summer to all !

One more cup

I made one more coffee cup with the wonderful Kaffe Fassett fabrics (prints and shot cottons).

This time I have used the sewing machine appliquè...

...and I'm happy for how it turns out.

Love and coffee

It's a long time I 'm thinking of this love-live quilt made by Tonya for Lynne .

And today I used my scraps to make a sampler LOVE block.

This are the first two letters...

...and this will become the V...

I have to say that the ended block is a bit less wonky as I have desired
but it will be a good lesson for the next blocks...


About coffee I learned that the American brands cant ship coffee to Italy...it's a trade agreement or something similar.
I'm waiting for the coffee that Chris shipped to me from New England but in this time I found a U.K. brand with many yummy flavoured coffee... if someone is interested in the web address is:

I have replenished my stock!

A little gift for a friend

What could I do to return the super kindness of Chris of Cats on my quilts who has shipped to me the beloved New England coffee?...but a cup of coffee!...

...better if two!...

...and better again if with some colorful borders!

And this is done!

Will I survive without coffee?

The smell ( and the taste...) of fresh made flavoured coffee is one of the sweetest memories of my last trip in U.S.

Yes, I'm an Italian girl that loves American coffee!

I brought with me a couple of packets of my favorite taste French Vanilla when I come back to Italy, but now my stock is running short.

And (can you believe it?) I didn't find anyone who ship flavoured coffee to Italy.

Now I wonder : will I survive without coffee?
