My First Quilt
Here's picture of my first quilt and I'm so proud that it turned out so well. Took me almost 6 months to finish this. The size is 85" x 90".
Quilting
I started quilting in January 2007. The first class is at our teacher house Kak Aida. She has been quilting for almost 12 years. She have her own stunning collection for quilts.Thanks Kak Aida for be one of the most patient and kind teacher. There's also other students along with me and we couldn't have MORE DIFFERENT styles. It should be very interesting to compare our quilts when we're all done.

3 Reasons Mom Should Have A Hobby
By Carrie Lauth
Moms these days are busy, but we're more stressed than ever before and in need of lifestyle choices that help us be happier. Pursuing a hobby may be just the ticket.
Having a hobby relieves stress
Spending time with a hobby replaces negative thoughts and replaces them with positive thoughts and feelings. Having a hobby or creative outlet can lift your spirits and help with depression.
Unlike passive activities like television viewing, a hobby provides intellectual stimulation while simultaneously relaxing you. Repetitive actions like those used in knitting are especially calming.
Hobbies help you parent better
We are good at signing our children up for lessons and classes and encouraging them to have hobbies, but we forget that we also need to learn new things and grow as people. Hobbies also connect you with other people who share your interests.
A hobby can help you maintain your separate identity as a real person and not just as Mom. This models healthy habits and boundaries for our kids.
Hobbies provide a refreshing change from your routine
If you're a stay at home Mom, you may be frustrated because at the end of the day you can hardly point to anything you've "done". That's because of the repetitive nature of housework and childcare.
In generations past, women pursued hobbies like quilting, sewing, knitting, crochet and embroidery not only because they were enjoyable but because they provided tangible value to the family, either providing clothing for their backs or much needed income.
Why not carve out some time to pursue a hobby Mom?
