Book Review - More Adventures with Leaders and Enders

Hello,

If you're a seasoned quilter, the chance is you already know Bonnie K Hunter from Quilt Ville. I'm following Bonnie since years ago, I often watch her Quilt Cam series on youtube.

I finally recently bought her book More Adventures with Leaders and Enders. I must say, it's simply amazing for someone who love to collect tiny scraps like me.

More Adventures With Leaders and Enders
At first glance, you might find the quilt design is a bit intimidating, but after slowly read the instructions it all made sense. Last week, I tried out the Scrap Crystal. I started digging my scrap baskets for blues and greens. But I was so eagerly trying it, I thought I will do with a single color background.


After making one block I showed to a couple of friends and they said, it looked great, but I want the Crystal-y effect like the one on the book!!


So, I started cutting the neutral colors. The best thing is Bonnie includes all the details of what neutral colors she included in her quilt so that we can get ideas.



Here is the first scrappy block look like. I have not stitched them together.What say?



I mostly used Indian fabrics since they have bright and lots of shades. I'm hoping to finish the quilt after I come back from my holiday! Wish me luck, everyone!!

Until then,

Happy Sewing

Elvira

How To Hand Sew Wallet Binding Tutorial on YouTube

Hello,




Many of you asked if I can make a video tutorial for hand sewn wallet binding. I took the video quite sometimes ago when I make this matryoshka wallet and I just got a new mobile phone tripod which was just perfect. At least it's better than the mini tripod  I had earlier. With this mobile phone tripod I can get a good angle to shooting the video. The video was shot using my One Plus  phone


Lightweight Tripod

Really, there's nothing scary about hand sewing. If anything, it is easier than machine, since you're totally in control!



Do check out the video, like and subscribe! I am hoping to do more video tutorial in the future, Insha Allah.

Happy Sewing,

Elvira
