I even started my blogs in order to have something similar to a website:) Then it turned out that blogging is great fun and I stayed in that sphere:) Well... life goes on and improves and fulfills dreams, so - here I am with a <a href="http://www.dvergen.com/">website</a>, <a href="http://www.dvergenartz.com/">online shop</a>, flickr, two blogs (a Bulgarian and an English one), a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dvergenz">facebook page</a> , Etsy shop and so many more online resources that it's hard for me to keep up. I decided to move my blogs to the website where you can find much more information, tutorials etc. The posts are not translated yet, but it soon will be done:)
So thank you for following me... I hope you enjoy our time together.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16229513847738910379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202591565108022732.post-47384052550955361402012-01-08T20:55:00.000-08:002012-01-13T06:21:38.704-08:00Dvergen Artz or my new beginning...Well, it turned out that sharing my dreams with people outside my family was not the brightest idea... but I need to move on, using what I've learned last year in my struggles of creating a business:) <br />I hope you'll come and visit me at:<br />my <a href="www.dvergen.com">Patchwork & Quilt Bakery</a><br />and my <a href="www.dvrgenartz.com">Patchwork Shop</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dc3VxzEvzDw/Twp10npCWwI/AAAAAAAAETY/XnsiVEf6FFw/s1600/DSC02632.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dc3VxzEvzDw/Twp10npCWwI/AAAAAAAAETY/XnsiVEf6FFw/s320/DSC02632.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695494225618164482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WzircKzMeZw/Twp10YrniGI/AAAAAAAAETE/NCQT3hxcb3k/s1600/DSC02613.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WzircKzMeZw/Twp10YrniGI/AAAAAAAAETE/NCQT3hxcb3k/s320/DSC02613.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695494221602457698" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qDAucwgEOqQ/Twp10BIST2I/AAAAAAAAES8/8M9ufRdwunA/s1600/DSC02600.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qDAucwgEOqQ/Twp10BIST2I/AAAAAAAAES8/8M9ufRdwunA/s320/DSC02600.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695494215280250722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-woZu_6WiqCk/Twp11fHAVdI/AAAAAAAAETg/Oy_U0j6b6eY/s1600/DSC02621.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-woZu_6WiqCk/Twp11fHAVdI/AAAAAAAAETg/Oy_U0j6b6eY/s320/DSC02621.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695494240507811282" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16229513847738910379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202591565108022732.post-67085050883428674552011-10-23T02:22:00.001-07:002011-10-23T02:29:04.676-07:00Somewhere there:)Here we are... in the shop again.

This site has been my dream for few years now and I still can't believe it's happening:) I really hope it works:)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16229513847738910379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202591565108022732.post-11656366129778073542011-03-24T10:41:00.001-07:002011-03-24T10:41:28.517-07:00Fairitopia Quilt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NTlKahAJnYA/TXOJ7sqXuyI/AAAAAAAADCg/9zgFmawl3zo/s1600/06032011037.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NTlKahAJnYA/TXOJ7sqXuyI/AAAAAAAADCg/9zgFmawl3zo/s320/06032011037.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580956021936339746" /></a><br />Хихи... а сега да се върнем към същността на този блог - да се хваля с куилтовете си:) Така де.... Този куилт започнах преди много време, но нито за миг не се почудих как ще изглежда... Струва ми се, че стана дори по-прекрасен отколкото си го представях... Тук е момента да благодаря на Веси за безценните съвети относно апликацията - листата благодарение на нея станаха релефнички. В него са съчетани може би всички възможни видове апликиране - с подлепване, с обръщане, с бод фестон, със сгъстен зиг-заг и с вата вместо подлепващо:)))) ъъъъ така като написах всичко това си отговорих на въпроса защо го въртях тооооолкова време този куилт... Но пък се получи:) СТана огромен - 220х200 а отзад парчето му лепна все едно е рисувано специално за него - зелена градинка... Ще го снимам и като го завърша, но просто нямах търпение да се похваля:) Успях да му направя и три прекрасни възглавнички, които ще се продават с него и ще снимам отново допълнително:)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9Da0XWnGdHI/TXOKLDn15aI/AAAAAAAADCo/nlGJmLlXcBQ/s1600/06032011041.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It was worth though... to see the inspiration on Bobsan's face... it was sooo lovely:) and I really enjoy the pictures... It was a fully quilted according to the rules huge quilt.

I accidentally stuck upon a patchwork magazine and very soon after that I received an ugly, but warm batted blanket from my mother. I was in my home town then with my newborn first daughter. By the time I came to Sofia I had decided how I shall improve the ugly blanket and... I did it. It took me this little to get hooked to quilting:) Here is <a href="http://ketty.snimka.bg/hobby/patchwork.189456.4427911">my first patchwork</a> and some of my other creations. When I showed it to two of my colleagues for my great surprise they appreciated it. They were so supportive and explained me that what I did was worth. I'm a social animal - I always look for second, third and more opinions, so what they did to me than I shall never forget... Thanx Tea and Petya! <br />That was a brief history of my start with quilting - how did I get here:)<br />We started early today:)<br />But the story actually starts this June. As I have probably mentioned I was on an incredible workshop then. I met a great friend there - my fellow quilter - the girl that supports me and I try to support her in our quilting efforts. I also had the chance to see real quilting in action, in exhibition and... had the chance to meet a lovely, lovely quilter from Hungary - Anna Dolany. I'll never forget her words on the second day when the workshop was over and we were preparing to leave... "You really need to register an organization if you want to connect with other quilds"... The other thing I will never forget was Tea (my quilting fellow's look) and the words "I'm starting the documentation gathering are you with me?". Now, half an year after that we made it to the courthouse - our patchwork guild - Patchwork BG - the first and only one in our country is registered on 11.11.10. The feeling is awesome... For the three years that we run a theme in a Bulgarian forum we have inspired and "infected" so many people with the patch virus and we have created so many beautiful things, but I have never felt like this before. Like...being a part of something huge that accepts no boundaries, that is pure beauty and certifies the achievements of human skills. We have a Patchwork BG group in facebook as well where the ideas are written and discussed, we found three Bulgarian ladies that actually make quilts for 20 or more years and will be able to benefit from their experience. And all that we did together... We started 4 or 5 people and our group is over 20 now:) This guild will allow us to enter the quilter's world, which (from what I've seen so far) is not an ordinary one. I really do believe that quilters are a "tribe" that is a lot better:) <br />Well, I told you where it started - with Anna Dolany and today - at the end of the process we had another great quilter with us - an American one - to support us and to document everything. She came from nowhere to show us the unlimited possibilities... she came to guide us further, as we had reached the maximum that can be learned only by watching quilting videos on youtube or reading the online information. Thanx, Kathryn, thank you so much that you found me... and that you are such a lovely person... You know what, I think they're gonna remember us in the courthouse - we were the only people there laughing and having great conversations instead of letting the bureaucracy ruin our mood. And...thanx for the time you spent for telling us how a real guild works... and not only that... thank you for your existence...<br /><br />I'm sorry if I may sound profound to you but this really is a huge step for us. Bulgaria is undiscovered quilting market - every single tool or a book that I have I have ordered on ebay. Now, few years after I started quilting the situation is changing slowly. I hope fabric dealers will soon realize the need for at least a few decent patchwork prints and we'll be able to import some magazines... My dream is to have enough budget to invite guest lecturers and make a library...And above all I dream that one day people will understand me when I answer the question "what do you do" with "I'm a quilter:)"<br /><br /><br />So please, have a bite from my celebration fruit salad:)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TNv3SfOg8TI/AAAAAAAACEQ/eJqm8yTFvh0/s1600/PB110218.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TNv3SfOg8TI/AAAAAAAACEQ/eJqm8yTFvh0/s320/PB110218.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538292063774241074" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16229513847738910379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202591565108022732.post-75816065689110927032010-11-09T11:58:00.000-08:002010-11-09T12:01:16.364-08:00Multifunctional Advent Calender<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TNmoedXxXmI/AAAAAAAACEI/yHHNCmlHpOY/s1600/PB090220.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 280px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TNmoedXxXmI/AAAAAAAACEI/yHHNCmlHpOY/s320/PB090220.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537642458062610018" /></a><br />This year I was planning to make my daughters an advent gift calendar from paper. I would love to make my kids glad and expecting Christmas though I did not fancy the idea of having so much paper wasted. That is why I came up with this sachets. Each one can be tightened to a rope or somewhere in the house where all 24 can stay together. At the same time I thought it also would be nice if they are fastened all over around the house, so kids can look for them and find a different one each day:) The best part is, that they can be folded together with the Christmas decoration, so you don't need to buy another one next year. And even more - filled with lavender or other nice scented herbs they can decorate and healthy (much better to use such scents than the artificial ones)scent your house all year round:) <br />(Already in my Etsy store):)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16229513847738910379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202591565108022732.post-80121898690501146822010-11-06T06:56:00.000-07:002010-11-06T07:11:33.512-07:00Vanessa and Martin's Quilts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TNVg-kW-HmI/AAAAAAAACDg/E6FpA5V0Y7k/s1600/PB030183.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TNVg-kW-HmI/AAAAAAAACDg/E6FpA5V0Y7k/s320/PB030183.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536437944950070882" /></a><br />Before leaving to London and after that I've been working on two quilts for a sweet girl and her brother - both same age as Eva and Iva...

I even used the fabrics we bought in Cardif - my first REAL quilting fabrics... You can't find such here, you simply cannot...

I mean I love, adore making gifts but from those that I am sure that they are necessary, long craved and will be used... Otherwise the very idea of "buying SOMETHING NICE" horrifies me. I always mess up things and choose the worst possible one (I'm Libra - I can't take decisions:))) I think I'm even worse with receiving gifts - something like I don't know what I want, but I want it now... Some years ago I even had a friend that is now ignored and forgotten due to the "present" subject. She was so occupied with what people give her for Christmas and how much the gift costs, or what trade mark it is that I got so worried what to give her and completely neglected choosing presents for my dearest loved ones - she was satisfied with her present from me, but it was the last thing I gave her... We have a family rule - my husband chooses the presents (he covers me thoroughly on the gift matter) <br />However this year is a huge change for me. I managed to organize a surprise party for my husband's 30th birthday (pregnant in the 9th month) - no one believed that he was really surprised as I can never keep something secret from him for more than 10-15 minutes. <br />For a first time in my life I made a present that I was in no doubts about and... was liked... My best friend turned 30 this June (just like me) and I gave him a picture of us with the date 16.07.1996:)) on which he was with a t-shirt which was a present from us for his 16th birthday... and made him the very same t-shirt for his 30th as well:)<br />I had no "present" expectations for my 30th birthday. I was extremely glad that I got the chance to be in London at that time - a town that I've dreamed about half of my life... But it turned out even better... I got that lovely thing early in the morning on October 11th:):)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TND44m61TnI/AAAAAAAACCo/xvmt-bJgS-M/s1600/DSC08862.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TND44m61TnI/AAAAAAAACCo/xvmt-bJgS-M/s320/DSC08862.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535197593442012786" /></a><br />It made my lovely bigger daughter repeat all day long with a sweet mocking voice "Look who's 30, look who's 30" I wore it all day long and all through London (we made a looong tour that day) and everybody looked smiling at me:) Then I got the best sunset EVER (I am crazy about sunrises and sunsets) Here it is...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TND6Ok0fwdI/AAAAAAAACCw/XHc2guXnKEU/s1600/DSC08905.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TND6Ok0fwdI/AAAAAAAACCw/XHc2guXnKEU/s320/DSC08905.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535199070347313618" /></a><br /><br />The only museum we managed to visit there was the British History Museum (Don't get it wrong - it turned out that there's NOTHING "British" in it...but there was a lot of history anyway:)) I found one thing there that I liked a lot<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TND-6mk0dKI/AAAAAAAACDI/ryU9pQ5tzXo/s1600/PA110030.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TND-6mk0dKI/AAAAAAAACDI/ryU9pQ5tzXo/s320/PA110030.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535204224779187362" /></a><br />For my great surprise that was not all... When we came home a very dear friend of mine had prepared a surprise for me - she knitted a nice scarf and a phone case, but the biggest surprise was a small pouch containing 30 buttons.

The choosing process was long and hard as almost all choices I have had in my life so far, but that's just in order - I'm Libra above all... <br />So here's my machine story.<br /> I have had the Brother Innov-Is 8060 for 5 years now. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TMc2os4AOdI/AAAAAAAACCc/mSJUfMcgN0s/s1600/brother-innovis-cs-8060-21383680.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TMc2os4AOdI/AAAAAAAACCc/mSJUfMcgN0s/s320/brother-innovis-cs-8060-21383680.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532450740116666834" /></a><br />Some of its decorative stitches didn't work well - they have never worked well, but I thought it was me who couldn't set it to function properly. So I decided to get a technician to fix them and guess my surprise when I found out that the problem was not me, but the machine. As it was out of warranty I decided to go to the service to ask for help. They said that it'll take a loooot of time to fix it. I mentioned that I've been meaning to try embroidery and really, really, really would love a machine with a bit longer arm than my innov-is, so they offered me the 9000 something:) I started looking for reviews about it and stuck upon one <a href="http://sewing.patternreview.com/">really helpful site</a> I read a lot and decided to write a review about my Brother. By weighing the pros and cons of that machine I found out that the things I don't like about it highly exceed the things I like, so I started thinking whether it would be a good idea investing in another Brother... At the same time I bought a Husqvarna for my mother - a used one and fell in love with it. I couldn't leave it for a whole month, but even that I liked it a lot I knew this wasn't my machine either. I spent many, many days and nights reading reviews and calculating costs and finally decided I won't take the embroidery and sewing Brother, but will choose a separate machine for both actions. I had a great luck with the embroidery part - a used, perfectly functioning Janome 200E. As I live in Bulgaria we cannot count on ebay to buy and sell heavy machines, so it was a great luck. It's perfect for my humble embroidery needs:) It works alone and I'm very, very happy that I chose the separate functions alternative. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TMcrQDxW9uI/AAAAAAAACCU/fuji5Z5cg4w/s1600/images.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 194px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TMcrQDxW9uI/AAAAAAAACCU/fuji5Z5cg4w/s320/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532438222138177250" /></a><br />For a quilting machine... after a looot of additional thinking and reading I decided to buy the Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0. As it has a large arm and the word "quilt" in its very name I had never expected what am I "investing" in(I bought a new one for a great deal of money). It took me a lot of time and effort to become acquainted with that machine. I don't mean choosing the programs and adjusting the stitches etc. - just the way it sews. I had various thread tension problems, it even didn't want to free motion quilt and when it did quilt it broke thread every few seconds. I did everything I could, everything I found on the internet as a possible solution, but with no satisfactory result. I kept repeating myself "You need time to adjust, you need time to learn your hands to work together with her"... Things changed a bit after I got my Pfaff quilting tool kit for the additional 150 euro :( It free motion quilts FINALLY, but the pleasure of quilting on it is all gone. Now I only check my stitches on both sides and pray I don't have to thread and rethread. If I have to answer the question "Would you recommend it?" I would definitely say NO - I have never spent so much money on something as unuseful as that machine... Anyway I'll keep sewing on it - it's my choice and I have to take it, but I'm definitely hunting for THE free motion quilting machine :) This time it will be a semi industrial full automatic (probably a second hand one):) I would really love to buy a machine that I can put on a quilting frame one day when I'm big enough to do so:) Any suggestions?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16229513847738910379noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202591565108022732.post-12271162081046785532010-10-03T08:01:00.001-07:002010-10-03T08:11:40.385-07:00Sasho's quilt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TKia7GzZDoI/AAAAAAAAB_0/3uaif1smgRE/s1600/P9300219.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TKia7GzZDoI/AAAAAAAAB_0/3uaif1smgRE/s320/P9300219.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523835283199037058" /></a><br />Let me present to you my quality manager:) She made sure that all safety pins are eatable, which makes the quilt chewable:)<br /><br />In other words this was my quilt to enjoy... A dear, dear, dear friend of mine said "You know what... I need you to make me something to cover my bed with." The answer was ok... but I can't start before next month - No problem...<br />On the next day I was on my way to the fabric store choosing fabrics:) The person for whom I made it is an extremely lucky and easy going person... I love his attitude toward life and maybe that's why the quilt just happened... Sharp and exact to the final centimeter... wonderful...<br />And here's the just washed wet and un-ironed picture of it:)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TKic0Vz_OQI/AAAAAAAAB_8/_nSqnjvF75A/s1600/PA010227.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jxszdyZbdWQ/TKic0Vz_OQI/AAAAAAAAB_8/_nSqnjvF75A/s320/PA010227.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523837365992241410" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16229513847738910379noreply@blogger.com1
