This is a project I've been working on for a while.
"The Monstera". 
It's a hawaiian quilt (not a beast!) using the reverse applique technique. I choose linen as the background and regular cotton fabric for the pattern.
We have plenty of monstera plants here and I would like my quilt to reflect the lush nature that surrounds us despite the "flourishing" concrete buildings.
That's why it won't be only one but 4 leaves in my quilt. Two and a half are done! I'll show you one day!

It's my handy project. I bring it with me when traveling or going to quilting group, wherever I can't use my sewing machine. I can tell which part has been done in which place! Ask me!

Et voi! C'est pas trop tôt, j'ai délaissé mon atelier, mes aiguilles et ma machine à coudre adorée pour vous faire découvrir mon petit monde.

Bienvenue dans Ma Maison!
Et en plus c'est l'heure du thé, vous tombez bien!
O cha o nomimasu ka? Un petit bol de thé?

At least but not last, here I am! I left my workshop, my needles and my beloved sewing machine to tell you about my little world.
Welcome to Ma Maison!
Just in time, it's tea time! O cha o nomimasu ka?
Would you like a cup of tea?

Pour notre premier rendez-vous, j'ai choisi de vous montrer ce petit set de table en forme de feuille de thé que j'ai réalisé avec des tissus japonais.

For our first rendez-vous I would like to show you this japanese style placemat in a tea leaf shape.

C'est un projet de patchwork simple et rapide que je propose en cours ou en kit pour les débutants.

It's an easy-to-do quilting project for beginners available in a two times lesson or in a kit.
