Almost Forgotten

Last month I've completed another small quilts which I almost forgot to pots ^_^

#1 Marble Stars table runner

I love collecting South Indian cotton. I love their shade of colors which you hardly get in anywhere else in the world. The texture, the color. 

combination of red, tan, blue and teal is really pretty in this one. I hesitated in the beginning, not sure how will it turn out. But in th end I'm happy with it. I put decorative stitches there too.

and it has scrappy backing too!!

 I don't put any batting for this and I love how it turned out :). 

This available at the SHOP for sale. 

#2 Can You Spot the pinwheel Mini Quilt

I was kind of having sewing block when one day I got parcel from my friend in USA. Mbak Hany sent me 2 FQ and a quilt magazine!!! What a lucky girl I am ^_^

 just what I needed to get me sewing again ^_^. 

This one I picked the pattern from the magazine

Can U spot the pinwheel?

 the fabric is FQ from my SHOP. I still have few FQ left if you're interested ^_^

 again scrappy binding and a wiggle quilting ^_^

and pink polkadots at the back. I use flannel batting for this one. If you like, the quilt is available for sale at my SHOP. 

Thanks for dropping by and Happy Sewing

Retail Therapy

“I love shopping. There is a little bit of magic found in buying something new. It is instant gratification, a quick fix.” ― Rebecca Bloom, Girl Anatomy

Oh yeah..shopping can really recharge you. I call it Retail Therapy. Only nowadays my shopping revolved around fabric and craft books. And what's more? shopping can be more exciting if you do it online. Though waiting for your parcel to arrive is as painful as queuing in the pediatrician chamber ^_^. 

Last month I sort of need a bit of recharge. I went to my favorite online shop for books Flipkart  and browse few crafts books and sign out with 3 patchwork books. I bought 2 Suzuko Koseki book because it's in English and has a basic lesson for Japanese style of patchwork. You know those one with tiny bit of fabrics and lots of hand sewing ^_*. It's nice book if you like something cute:)

The other one is Patchwork Comforters, Throws and Quilts. It's full of eye candy of Modern Quilts. Great Inspirations...

And from Flipkart, I hopped to Etsy and what started as window shopping, I ended up with this pretty Riley Blake fabrics. I wasn't so sure but I simply love the fabric. Aqua and red is such a fabulous combination. So after two days exchanging convos with the seller, I decided to go for it. I've never bought designer fabric before..so it's kind of super exciting to actually got one ..LOL.

So, I now I'm thinking what I will do with this yummy fabrics..^_*

Until then...happy quilting
