Warm and Cold Pinwheel Table Runner

This winter, it blows warm and cold. One day the temperature will dip as low as 10C and the next day it will be 21C. Well, for me, who grew up in tropical friendly weather Indonesia, to be in 10C is like living in a igloo. The kids are laughing at me, cos I'm bundled up in heaps of clothes plus woolen cap.

I told you in previous post, that I love pinwheel. So now it's done. I don't know why I love working with triangles, I found it very challenging. This pinwheel was supposed to be my second entry for the Indian MQG January's Challenge, but then I couldn't resist the baby blue and pink. I don't know whether it's still qualified as a WARM? what do you think?

Another one I finished today is my 3rd Quilt Block for my Friendship Quilt. I call it "whirlwind love". The original plan was to collect enough blocks to make mini quilt for wall hanging. But I hope, other participants will make at least 3 blocks so it will be a bigger quilt.

This one I made based on quilt I saw in magazine. It was just one part of the big quilt. I took the design and instead of plain square at the top left I put pinwheel (again!) there and in the bottom right. It gives quite a effect, doesn't it? It's quite challenging this one, since the mag didn't give the measurement, so I have to count it my self to make it into 12" squares. Hopefully I can make a simple tutorial later on...meanwhile now my mind is onto finishing my almost-forgotten Quilt Along #shame on me#

Until then, Happy Crafting ~_~ 

Looking Back

Looking back to the year 2011, here  are few collages of what crafts I have completed in 2011.
I may say I had quite a busy days last year. This year, I want to be more serious on doing patcwork and quilting. Didn't I told you that I have joined the Indian Modern Quilt Guild? *yay*...I'm very excited to learn and share with like-minded people. And so far it's been very exciting & enlightning, if I may say..

I bought few felt when I went home in 2010 and start trying doing felt craft when I don't do anything else.

and at times I love making small dresses for my niece or my friend's daughter or make few stuff for my friends:)

or try making other things. I used to love making bag and pouches and I still do have few patterns which I wanted to try making. Hopefully this year I will be able to make them :)

Happy Crafting ^_^
