Tutorial: Whirlwind Heart

“For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.” 

― Virginia Woolf, The Common Reader: First Series

In my previous post, I mentioned about the block I made for Friendship Quilt. I really enjoyed making that block . The idea I took from Australian Quilting magazine but I did some alteration in size and used pinwheel instead of plain squares and HST . 

Here I try to make a little tutorial which I hope will help if you want to make one.

The finish block is 12" x 12" 

Since I'm not good with words, I prefer to show you  with  picture. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to email me.

So here we go, the first step is  making the pinwheel. 

Second is  making the HST  and cutting the squares:

and now you're ready to arrange and sew the blocks :

I hope this help if you want to make the whirlwind heart :)

Happy Sewing ^_^

Pobitara Wildlife Sanctuary

Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.  ~Standing Bear

We got an invitation to visit one of our friend's new resort in Pobitara. It's in the outskirt of Guwahati, around 1.5 hrs. Pobitara is Wildlife sanctuary for Elephants and One Horn Rhino, besides the world famous Kaziranga, this is one of the option for people to spend their weekends with nature.

We enjoyed the jungle safari on a jeep, hoping to see the famous one horn Rhino. And after 30 minutes inside the jungle, we got to see around 6 huge rhinos. Too bad I only got my mobile cam, so I can't take a good click. 

Spend sometimes in this natural beauty, always can lift up my spirit..

Have a beautiful Sunday
