When I am feeling green

The weather was cold last Sunday and I just needed to do something while sitting and watching my weekends drama.

So I picked up embroidery threads and start doodling. Embroidery is therapeutic :) 

This "wish you luck" mug rug will be a great gift for someone who has to stay up late studying or working on a project! 

And my second green project was this iPad sleeves. I used to wonder why one need gadget sleeves if you already have smart cover? Well, you know what..you need a sleeve for your gadget! Cos when you put it inside your purse the smart cover tends to flip. 

And if you are frequent flyer, you definitely need one to protect your gadget during the security check. 

This one featured warli art print. warli art is very popular in India. It depicts the everyday life of adivasis tribe in India. 

So why not grab one for your self. I have several style listed in my Etsy Shop and it's customized friendly. Or if you want to make one yourself, you can always get the Warli Fabrics from my Fabric Shop

Today, it's still gloomy here

I hope you have a cheery weather ^^

Thanks for stopping by

Nice and Bright Quilted iPad Sleeves

I love the process of making this sleeve

The moment she said she wanted something in fuchsia, orange and blue

I started pulling fabrics from my stash

you won't believe it, Indian fabrics have a LOT of shades of fuchsia

I was like "which one is more fuchsia, should I go for the darker one or the lighter one"

she wanted something like the coasters

Once I decided on the fuchsia and orange batik, I had to pull out blue fabrics

again it was a battle for me

And I found this solid blue cotton hidden in my solid stash

just the right one!

I like to hand sew my binding

unless it's a big quilt ^o^

I always leave the hand sewing part at night

when I can quietly sew and watch my favorite drama

ah now, it's done and delivered

it's a good feeling to think that I - who live in the corner of North East India - made something for someone so far away

"if there's a will, there's a way"

Now I truly believe it! 

=============================

This iPad sleeves is SOLD but I still  have the fabrics.

If you need one, simply drop me a line in my SHOP 

I tried making cover for my button jar

not as good as I wanted it to be but that's fine ^^

(my friend Agnes said "Now even your jar is wearing a kaffiyeh" LOL")

and I made a keys cover from the little remnants. 

Someone is going to have that cover ^^. I hope she will like it.

Until then

I need a new iPad sleeve

I was cutting off jelly rolls for the shop and looking at my design wall. I made this test block a couple days ago and just put it up in my design wall

I was thinking of making mug rug with it. But then, I need an iPad sleeve. My iPad has a smart cover but it's tearing off and it's not even 6 months old =,=.

I bought it in Changi Airport for $35 >,<

So, I put my jellyrolls away and start working on it and after an hour my iPad has a new sleeve. Yay!

It fits snugly and I love the grey combination . Quilted using my favorite stitch. 

I used double batting - outer and lining to give more protection.

I still have the fabrics and I think I'll put it up in my shop for custom order.

I realize one thing:  I love working on patchwork with small squares 2.5" - 3" and HST from charm piece

Ah, I still have few WIPs that I plan to finish before the end of this month {IF I'm not distracted} . One of them is this placemat.It will be a set of 4 and I almost finish with the quilting.

and this pink bunny n cat wallet for my SIL's niece

and here's the sneak peek of the jellyrolls 

With one family wedding coming up and the little R has his monthly assessment, I hope I can finish at least those two.

Until then

Happy Quilting
