Few finish and WIP

I just recovered from cold and cough. It's getting very dusty and dry here since winter is approaching. It's quite cool in the morning and evening and pleasant throughout the day. Though sometimes I still need the fan. 

Since I can't have cough syrup { I am allergic to certain medicines}, so I usually made ginger lemonade when I have cough. It works wonder for me. I add ginger, cloves, cinnamon sticks and pepper corn in 1,5 cup of water and boil it for 3-4 minutes till the water reduced and add lemon juice + honey. I have this drink 3 times a day. It helps with the sore throat and body ache too.

After three days, I get back to my list of stuff I have to do {sewing wise}. House works can always wait when I'm in the mood to sew. Ha!

First I finished this 2 cute mug rugs or mini mats or candle mats

They will be available in the shop 

I did simple diagonal quilting there. It's really good for small quilts, isn't it?

and second one, I finished sewing up the sailor blocks.

I'm so excited, I hope I can finish it soonest

and since I can't get my mind off of this charm packs

I simply had to make something 

and table runner it is !

it's nice and bright!

there,there, finally I found a way to attach my label. 

I quilted using decorative stitches Row 2 #13 in my HV Designer Topaz 20

I love love how it turned out

I use this fancy foot. Simply love it!

and made this mango print bias binding! 

The mango fabric is available HERE

it comes in 4 yummy colors 

So, that's how my last week went

I hope next week will be better

I have a long list of WIPs and UFOs I want to finish

Until then,

Happy Quilting

Mawlynnong and living root bridge

Finally I got to visit the famous Mawlynnong - the cleanest village in Asia - which is in our neighboring State of Meghalaya. I've seen many few post doing around on facebook.

so, last Diwali holiday we - finally - went  to Mawlynnong in East Khasi Hills 

Mawlynnong is 3 hours drive from Shillong. The long winding road with spectacular  view is well worth it. 

It was a clear sunny day when we went

you will see few house (huts?) after a long stretch of empty land

it's like a never ending road

with blue and green  silhouette of hills

there are few small towns in between. 

And finally we saw the sign

And after 3 hours, this is what you find in the deepest East Khasi Hills

A clean village with not a single drop of leave on it's pathways

and the bluest sky 

Bamboo bridge sky view

where you can see Bangladesh land from the top

and the next STOP is Natural Living Root Bridge 

going RIGHT or going down - you choose :D

narrow stones pathway leading down to the bridge

Apparently there are few bridges like this one. Few of them are in Cheerapunji 

 can't get enough of this natural beauty

 going back up

Until then

Have a nice day
