Spring Blooms Mini Quilt Swap



front view


back view

I signed up for Spring Blooms Mini Quilt Swap back in April. This swap is hosted by quiltinggallery.com.  Basically you sign up and are assigned a random partner. The best part is that you keep your partner secret so no one knows who is making a quilt for them.

I managed to finish the quilt earlier this week. Off to the post office in the morning with it! I hope my swap partner likes it as much as I do.

Barney Bag





This bag is specially made for daughter of my dear old friend. She's 3 years old and like Barney very much. Her mother requested for a little bag (6" x7") so that she can carried around and put some of her stuff in it.

I always thought that pink is perfect colour for a girl and with some green i think it will look even better.

I'm so happy to hear that Rhianna really loves the bag and she must be look really cute with it.

BB Boy Quilt

One of my blog readers asked me to make a quilt for her. It will be a gift to her dear friend's first baby. It measured 40”x40 and made from 100% American Cotton. I personalized the quilt by putting the name of the little boy, in applique letters. In the center of the blocks, there is a boy and his toys and all the seams where quilted in the ditch. This one is completely hand appliquéd, machine pieced and handquilted. I really love went looking at the outcome! It got great colors and makes me very happy by just looking at it!

P/S-Maybe later she will post me a picture of the baby with this quilt.

Jumbo Tote Bag




Making a tote bag is fun and easy! I make this simple tote bag for my personal used, no pockets or anything, just a bag with two straps. It’s large enough to carry on my shoulder or hold the handles in my palm . The totes are sewn from home decor fabric ( Ikea) which makes them strong enough to carry things in for the kids and myself.

I hope I am well enough and able to finish this quilt soon because there is one more from her that's waiting to be completed.

My January block


I haven't done a BOM before. I have decided to join in and do "Come Over To My House"
2009 Block of the Month

OK, I finished the first and second block Whew! This is going to challenge me to do more perfect seaming and piecing with my machine. Guess that's one of the reasons I wanted to do it. I'm pleased with my fabrics and colors. They aren't all there yet, so just wait and see! I can hardly wait now to get them all together and watch the beauty of them all in one piece. I'm ready for the next and the next!!!
