This and that

Remember in my last post I made the test block for the quilt? No..no..I haven't started the quilt yet, instead, I made cushion cover for the swap in Desi Quilter's group. 

I love how it turned out

I really love line quilting, I tried different kind of decorative stitches but this is my favorite

I got a nice grey cotton fabric. It's a man's shirt fabric but hey, if the color match, I'm game, right? :D

 and use this polkadot and floral as backing. This was leftover from my tunic's fabric. 

I post a picture tutorial in my Facebook Page on how to make thie 16" x 16" quilted cushion covers.

*********

And few more finished this week :

Double zipper pouch for my son

he's been asking me to make one for him

so I thought, something that can hold his pencils, crayons, and whats-not that he always takes to school ^_^

  

and while I am at it, I just can't stash back the mickey fabrics. So, I made a mini tote with drawstring closure. It's padded and interfaced. I think it'll be good for my DSLR camera, or maybe use it as lunch bag, or errand bag or diaper bag? well, a girl can never have enough bags, totes, wallets....right?

and the remnants from the passport wallets, I made this cute little zipper pouch

and don't you love those little hearts? 

This definitely will become my favorite

I use fusible interface and thin batting for this wallet and love how it turned out.

So, what are you working on this week?

Until then,

Happy Sewing

Another UFO completed

I need to stock up more mini quilts, I told DH the other day.

I have few mini quilt top ready to quilt but always get distracted by so many other things. Sometimes I wish I had 5 pair of hands :D

I am not feeling too well since Saturday but my mind and hand need to keep doing something. Since I have completed the quilting and attach the binding last Friday, I only need to hand stitch the binding. So, instead of whining away, I put on my my fave drama and sewing away.

you know, not everyday I get  a matching backing fabric and I was ecstatic when I saw this green n orange cotton.

 Well, I've been playing with this pinwheel for awhile {last November or December} and just could not decide the backing. I think the saying it's true "everything happen at it's own time and place" ^_^

It's a good feeling to complete something! 

This mini square table runner is up for sale in my ETSY SHOP and if you want customized quilt I'd be happy to help you. You can email me or check out my Facebook Page.

Meanwhile I am working on another baby quilt order.

 I made this test block yesterday  and I quite liked it.

Hopefully I won't be distracted again..^0^

Until then,

Happy Quilting

It's February already

 I decided to participate in  Husqvarna Viking India 2015 Quilt competition and I'm currently working on it. It's a slow progress though and no, I can't show my WIP in any online media. Yes, that's part of the rules! And me being an Instagram addict, I can only click pics and saved them in my computer *sigh* 

Wish me luck folks!! I need lots of them ^_*. 

So, how's your January going?

Mine has been quite good. Thought I don't finish any major projects as yet, but slowly I'm trying to empty my UFO bins {I started few months back} and I feel good inside. 

And while I'm watching my fave Kdrama, I made few of this fabric flowers from left over bindings. I love fabric flowers and I have quite few brooches and hair pin. I kept them ready as a gift ^_^. 

I realized that everyone - yes, everyone- love handmade gift! 

 I completed this Family Passport Wallet for my customer's in my Etsy Shop

I went for thread shopping and look what I got!!

3 boxes of thread of total 60 rolls for less than $3 

and speaking of UFO, here's few coasters I made from my orphan blocks!

Finally! the super cute baby Anya with my quilt *feeling proud* 

Oh I can go on about this cutie pie, I keep asking Norah to send me her pics cos she's so adorable

she's an Indian-Chinese baby and she's almost a month old

but she can make all kind of cute expressions!

I wish December come quickly, I really want to hold this newest member of our big Indian family!

Until then,

Happy Sewing

When the boys are on holiday

Yesterday afternoon the boys wanted to make shirts and pants for their WWE heroes. So I taught them how to make the simple pattern and cut the fabric. 

They were excited and started taking out which wrestlers will get customized clothes first ^_*

With basic running stitches, they managed quite well. 

what do you think?

I think I must get a lycra fabrics for them ^^

The boys said they will make clothes for all of them

mmm there are about 2 dozens of them

let's see 

It was a well spent afternoon ^^

Until then,

Happy Sewing

one of my 2015 resolution

is to put a good use of my scraps. 

This little pouch is as a kick start project.  I used my postage stamp block to make this

everyone asked me about the pink sewing machine ^_*

it's too cute, isn't it?

I got it when I was looking for super heroes figures for my sons and I know I should buy it ^^

I simply love using decorative stitch for quilting

That cute button I got last year from Indonesia

I just could not resist anything cute

This pouch has gone to one girl, who visited me last week

she just could not let it go once she saw it. She said she's going to put her clips in it ^^

if you want one, I list this in my ETSY shop too as custom order

I have {more than} enough scraps to make this pouch ^^

Until then

Happy Sewing
