Ms.Rita's Order

Remember this 'Purple & White Hearts'? Its done and delivered! I hand stitched all 12 hearts with blanket stitch and am happy with the effect.


After I made 12 blocks of alternating purple & white hearts, I put a very lite lilac fabric which had tiny rose buds all over. Then I went for a bright dark purple with colorful circles.

Found a perfect match for binding fabric - lilac tone-on-tone, and returned to the dark marbled purple for binding.

It was Ms.Rita's first baby and she requested for a matching pillow set (1x baby pillow + 2x baby bolsters) and she wanted some rompers as well.

Am very happy with how it turned out :-)

Trucks - part II

Yes people, this is the last of this fabulous fabric!


And YES, did my favorite log cabin pattern - again! Can't seem to do 'enuf of this log cabin thingy :-) This time, worked on reds & greens.

Next, I added a 1.5" slim bright yellow fabric just for fun, and finished off with the traditional 5" marbled sea blue fabric.

As always, I LOVE the backing fabric :-) and binding was the same sea blue fabric.

Just GREAT for that special boy!

Tutti Frutti

Been wanting to try this actually . . . . putting together colors from lightest to light to dark and darkest. Get what I mean?


Anyway, I've cut 1.5" x 5 strips of a color and I have 7 different colors - red, blue, green, purple, orange, pink & yellow. What fun it was to play with!

Backing fabric was tiny polkadots on yellow and binding was very BRIGHT yellow. Went straight to binding here - without any border fabric :-)

I'm so loving the look here . . . it ain't perfect, but just LOVELY!

In my garden, hanging on my badminton net with the wind blowing! How cool is that - LOL!

Measurement : 43" W X 58" L

On going work . . . .

I'm at it . . . . the fabric was a panel of coffee cups! (and boy, do I love coffee!). So I decided to play with "coffee" colors - LOL! Lets see how this turns out . . . .


Now this one, was a panel of colorful alphabets on white background. Cut them up to about 3.5" square and framed it with fabrics according to the color of the alphabets. No idea what I'm gonna do next. Will play it by ear . . . .

Red Rabbits

Had this Red Rabbits fabric from some time ago - just sitting there. Have another in blue as well.


Decided on an L-shape with alternate color - maroon & lite blue. Rabbit blocks were cut at 4.5" and the L-shape was 1.5".

1st border was a tone-on-tone cream and then went for 5" striped maroon with blue flowers all over as finishing border.

Backing fabric was white with lite red xxs all over and returned to maroon fabric for binding.

My 1st try at this L-shape pattern and loving how it turned out!

Made out of 100% American cotton

Purple & White Hearts

Ms.Rita is my daughter Sara's, teacher. Ms.Rita is having her 1st baby. It's a girl! She has requested that I make a quilt for her and to play with purple & white and please could I put heart shape applique here, there & everywhere. She also wants a baby pillow & 2x bolsters with matching pillow & bolster cases.


Her baby is due early August but now it seems to be eager to come out early - like this week or so! SO I'm in a hurry . . . . and this is how far I've gotten. Still another finishing border to add and the hearts to hand-stitch and the whole top to be quilted. It will be done by sunday. Surely! Hopefully . . . ?

Sewing Box?

I LOVE such bold strong colors! Hmmm, what can this be?


Its a square box . . . . with lil' drawers! and metal pull-outs with inserts to put your labels in. How cool is that!

Yup, got my friend A to do her thing again. Told her I wanted it to have 'sewing' pictures on it. So she went to work . . . .

Back & side views - basket of threads at the top, mannequin of sorts behind and scissors, etc by the side.

Just lovely!
