Hello December

Time flies when you're having fun

This is one fun I had in the past week

Mini table topper made for Desi Quilter's Spread Some Cheers which sponsored by The Square Inch. This program is to help raise fund for Swanthana, a home for physically and mentally challenged girls based in Bangelore. If you'd like to participate, you can read more further information HERE. 

I sent this cheerful table topper to sell at the school fairs and the proceed will go to the Home. Hopefully it will fetch a good sum. 

I made this based on Quilting in the rain's Book "Quilt as you go made modern" 

It's very addictive. I plan to do the quilt along, but I will take my time. It's going to be my fun projects. 

You know when you're doing the same thing all the time and you need to recharge by doing something fun. 

I tried different decorative stitches here and it was a lot of fun!!

 I always love Rita of Red Pepper Quilt's binding and how fab it is. If you notice, my project always take a long time to complete, that's because I took a long time to decide what backing and what binding will work best. Sometimes I even mulling over what quilting line should I do. 

Especially for small quilts, I am extra careful in choosing my fabric combo.

 What about you? What fun did you have?

Until then,

Happy quilting

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
