Saturday Recap

Hello,

Today morning I took this photo of my makeshift photo booth. The morning light was just perfect today! Perfect day for photo session.

I found these block in my UFO bag and did a prep work. Now they are ready to quilt! I think diagonal grid line quilting will look good, what do you think?

Another prep work was cutting these batting for pillow covers. So excited for this project. It's simple wholecloth quilt kind of cushion like this one, which I think will be perfect for your summer decor. I will finish the quilting of all the front panels then will finish the cushion covers.

I finished quilting 4 tops for now. I  love this green chevron so I thought just following the gap in between each chevron print and loved how it turned out. The wonky lines turned out really good. I will take a better picture next time!

One happy mail! yes the Hex n More ruler from Jaybird Quilts. I wanted to make something like this and my friend, mbak Belly, suggested I get the ruler. 

and of course I had to try it! Jewel Hexagon - one block at a time!!

And this Nautical theme wallet is what I am currently working on. It's a single travel wallet! So excited to work with new fabric!! I hope to complete the orders before mid of next week

That's all for my Saturday Recap! Most are still in a WIP stage which hopefully I will be able to complete some of them tomorrow. The boys are going for another round of Avengers movie so I have a few hours undisturbed sewing time! 

What about you? What are you working on this week? If you completed something or have a new listing in your shop, do LINK UP in my new link up party Handmade Happiness!

Until next time!

Wednesday WIP Log Cabin blocks

Hello,

Don't you love those fabrics? I got the bundle from my trip to Japan last year. I got quite a lot of fabrics last year and happy that I finally got the perfect project to use them. 

I am making another log cabin bag for a custom order. So excited!!

I cut the stripa 1" wide this time and I am doing a chain piecing. 

I am progressing quite fast and love the result so far. Ah, I got that new tool from my recent trip to the Tokyo quilt show. The roller is perfect for pressing small blocks!  The other one I bought was a needle threader, which really awesome! I always drop my thread whenever I am hand sewing. Definitely by best buys!!

Isn't this cool??

I hope to finish this bag by early next week because I still have a couple of travel wallet orders that I have to complete this week. My sewing room have been quite busy since I came back from Japan and I am happy with the mess! 

What are you working on this week? 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sewing,

WIP update

Which part of quilting is your favorite?

I love the piecing part

 putting together small fabrics into something bigger is really exciting

and playing with them in my "small" DIY design wall is so much fun

I told you about the Quilt as you go made modern QAL in my previous post

the mug rug I made as trial I gift it to my sons' piano teacher

as a thank you gift

The Big R has recently passed his 1st grade Trinity Exam with 80% marks 

He did well, in spite of him having school exam at the same time

So, I made another one for the QAL, but got carried away =,=

the size is too big!

I think I'm going to go with 9" block finished size

I got all the strips ready

Meanwhile, I finished piecing half of this quilt

another 3 sets (12 blocks) to piece

that will have to wait until I'm back from the holiday

I'm trying to get organized here

besides the small quilt projects 

I'm trying to piece at least 2-3 blocks of the bigger projects

I guess doing several projects together has its own excitement

but when it comes to quilting it

that's another story

I have 3 tops which ready to quilt 

and I don't know when I'm going to pick them up

meanwhile, if you're looking for some bundles to cheer you up

I just added Fat Eighth and Charm Packs in the shop today

Until then

Happy Quilting

It's just a little crush...

It's just a little crush 

Not like I faint every time we touch

It's just some little thing 

Not like everything I do depends on you

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la

It's raising my adrenaline

You're banging on a heart of tin

Please don't make too much of it baby

You say the word "forevermore"

That's not what I'm looking for

All I can commit to is "maybe"

~ this week ~

10 - 10 - 2014

I have this idea for quite sometime

finally start it

with "single quilt" in mind

but who knows

and the progress of my scrappy postage stamp QAL

really love this : light grey and light minty color

btw, do you know how to make that jelly rolls bundle? 

6 - 10 -14

Made Indonesian rice cake and chicken curry

for Eid ul Adha

finally I can make the rice cake 

the easy way 

yummm

and this Indonesian potato pancake with raisins

double yummm

turned out quite popular that day *yay*

wanna show you one tray cloth I made recently

it was made in a hurry

and I'm not happy with the result :(

playing with my camera

after along time

 

looking at those flowers really inspiring

esp when you get stuck with your design

I think GREEN is actually a neutral color

isn't it?

I guess that's all 

until then

Happy Quilting

Chai Time

I love sipping a steaming hot chai in the cold winter afternoon. With my fave Indian sweets. This is what I have today: A cup of Indian Chai, Dil Kush (happy heart) sweet and Fruit Cake..yummm...

Today is one of those gloomy days when the sun just refused to shine. But that didn't dither my boy from riding his cycle. While watching him, I'm doing some hand-sewing work which is progressing very SLOW...:(. Gotta finish those quickly...

oh and I want to show you my newest books. There is this fab online store here in India which selling all books (Indian or Foreign) at a very reasonable price - FLIPKART - and free shipping too. I've been several time buying books from them but this is the first time I bought  foreign publication books. I always wanted to buy that ONE WONDER YARDS....though most of the stuff is available online but you know I still love flipping through books or magazines instead of staring at my laptop :D. And the second one is is WEE WONDERFULS....don't they make cutest dolls??? Will definitely try making them. Plus 2 books on SUNBONNET SUE ...they are simply wonderful!!!...
And one FELT CRAFT  book from Indonesian crafter which I bought from Indonesia (I wrote about it in my Prev. Post)

I still have few books in my list ^_^

Happy Crafting

It's been a long time

It's been more than a month I haven't updated my blog. I've been quite busy in the past months. I've made few dresses for my friend's DD and making few pouches too.


I bought few back issues of craft magazines (handmade & country craft) from Australia and quite excited to make few items there...it's simply mind blowing ...

here's the pouches

and the dresses

and here's my WIP this week

Thanks for stopping by...Happy Crafting ^_^

WIP Wednesday: Hour Glass Table Runner

I hate to unpick stitches:(. This orange squares have gone through a lot. I love the fabric and wanted to make table runner. First I just put the squares together and put a solid white in the middle, but it didn't look good. And since i hate unpicking it, I thought of doing some applique works on the solid or some hand embroidery. Again it was not good.

So I decided to unpick (yay) n make hour glass squares instead. N been playing with layout ideas the whole afternoon. Can't wait to finish it.

 

 This is what's I've done so far. The backing fabric is from one if my Tunic.

Happy Crafting everyone..:)
