First Installment

Remember in my last post I showed you fabrics strips that I cut. In fact I cut a little bit more. I cut 6.5" strips and jelly rolls.


I wanted to do a quick strip quilt. And here what I ended up with


slim table runner!!
I quilt it in the ditch cos I just got this fancy foot for my new HV ^-* 


the back is olive green. ❤


oh I did the binding using the flat felled foot based on THIS tutorial


I did a little  adjustment since Bernina and HV foot has a different width. 

I still prefer handsewn binding for small quilt though
 But sometimes I'm just not in the mood to do hand sewing, esp when there's no interesting K-drama to accompany me. Ha!!

By the way, RPQ has a good tips on binding on her Instagram. I just saw it today and I may give it a try on my next one. 

if you want to purchase the runner it's available on my ETSY shop
or if you want the fabric, you can go to my FABRIC SHOP



Until next time

Happy Quilting





Let's get some UFOs done

How many UFO projects do you have? 
Me? Umm...more then a dozen, at least -_-
I have mostly small orphan blocks from trial and error. I think I am going to make a pot holder and dish mat with that.

OK, lemme start showing off now ^_*

These 2 table runners were  meant for a bigger quilt but I get distracted, besides I don't have enough space in the house to keep big quilts. 

D Pink, blue and yellow looks very refreshing. Simple disappearing four patch which I did after watching video tutorial in MSQ youtube channel. 
Hey, don't you love how Jenny makes quilting look so easy??!!


and I got a matching backing fabric

Second one is this yellow and blue pinwheel. I was obsessed with these two colors few months back ^v^ and cut a whole bunch. Since big quilt is off, now I can make more blue and yellow mini quilts. 


I quilted using decorative stitched. I was going to do serpentine stitch but forgot to change the setting and started with straight line. I was too lazy to unpick it (who doesn't?) and decided to use 2 straight lines and 2 serpentines. and I LOVE how it turned out. Yay!



Enough rambling... now I'm off to watch my Kdrama ^^
Goodnight

Until then...

Back to Quilt ~ for a baby boy

It's done! 

A friend of mine was expecting a baby boy and  few months ago she asked me to make a tote bag for her using Indian cotton fabrics. 

I've been busy making passport wallets for the past few months and enjoyed it tremendously. 

And here's what I came up with

peacock blue and dark grey combo

 The bag has a drawstring closure. I was thinking of using zippers but as diaper bags drawstring seems to be more versatile since you can fit in more stuff without worrying about the zippers. 

With the bag I made a matching mini quilt. 

it's 30" x 30" which is perfect for new born.
It's meant for spring/summer weather so I used flannel batting. It turned out very soft.


one more shot


I've been using flannel batting for few quilts that I made and I like it, esp for my kind of weather which is quite humid during the summer.
It's a perfect covering in AC room during the summer months ^v^ .

If you need the fabric, you can visit my shop or contact me in my FACEBOOK .
I'd be glad you hear from you.


Until then...

Happy Sewing







Remembering Autumn


I love to watch the nature changes its color in Autumn.
In this side of India (NE India) we don't see much of those lovely colors. Except the colors of the olive leaves in my garden and the star fruit tree, but still it was something. 


I made this mini quilts as an entry for Diwali Challenge in Desi Quilters and  made it to the top 4 yay ^o^


and these combination of yummy fabrics is available in my etsy shop
The color of Autumn

There are so many things I want to share here with you all. It just that life gets busy sometimes and as much as I like to write now, I must go back to my beloved Ms. Bernette and finish the custom orders.

Until then...
Happy Sewing
