This and that

Remember in my last post I made the test block for the quilt? No..no..I haven't started the quilt yet, instead, I made cushion cover for the swap in Desi Quilter's group. 

I love how it turned out

I really love line quilting, I tried different kind of decorative stitches but this is my favorite

I got a nice grey cotton fabric. It's a man's shirt fabric but hey, if the color match, I'm game, right? :D

 and use this polkadot and floral as backing. This was leftover from my tunic's fabric. 

I post a picture tutorial in my Facebook Page on how to make thie 16" x 16" quilted cushion covers.

And few more finished this week :

Double zipper pouch for my son

he's been asking me to make one for him

so I thought, something that can hold his pencils, crayons, and whats-not that he always takes to school ^_^

  

and while I am at it, I just can't stash back the mickey fabrics. So, I made a mini tote with drawstring closure. It's padded and interfaced. I think it'll be good for my DSLR camera, or maybe use it as lunch bag, or errand bag or diaper bag? well, a girl can never have enough bags, totes, wallets....right?

and the remnants from the passport wallets, I made this cute little zipper pouch

and don't you love those little hearts? 

This definitely will become my favorite

I use fusible interface and thin batting for this wallet and love how it turned out.

So, what are you working on this week?

Until then,

Happy Sewing

Another UFO completed

I need to stock up more mini quilts, I told DH the other day.

I have few mini quilt top ready to quilt but always get distracted by so many other things. Sometimes I wish I had 5 pair of hands :D

I am not feeling too well since Saturday but my mind and hand need to keep doing something. Since I have completed the quilting and attach the binding last Friday, I only need to hand stitch the binding. So, instead of whining away, I put on my my fave drama and sewing away.

you know, not everyday I get  a matching backing fabric and I was ecstatic when I saw this green n orange cotton.

 Well, I've been playing with this pinwheel for awhile {last November or December} and just could not decide the backing. I think the saying it's true "everything happen at it's own time and place" ^_^

It's a good feeling to complete something! 

This mini square table runner is up for sale in my ETSY SHOP and if you want customized quilt I'd be happy to help you. You can email me or check out my Facebook Page.

Meanwhile I am working on another baby quilt order.

 I made this test block yesterday  and I quite liked it.

Hopefully I won't be distracted again..^0^

Until then,

Happy Quilting
