Pink Coin Quilt

Another pattern I've been wanting to do - it's called the 'Stacked Coin Quilt' or simply the 'Coin Quilt'. Had a lot of 2.5" pink strips that was waiting to be used.

A good way to use up all my pink scraps really! Just lined them up and sew. Put a 2.5" solid white in between.

Framed it all around with a 2" shocking pink solid and finished off with a 5" flowery pink.

Backing fabric was lite pink with hearts and went back to shocking pink fabric for binding.

Had fun making this. Perhaps will make a few more in blues & greens.

My first attempt at String Quilts!

I've been sorting out my scraps lately according to color (and boy, do I have tons of 'em!). And saw that I had lots of multicolored 2"-2.5" strips. So, I've been wanting to do a String Quilt for the longest time. Thought it was difficult so I hesitated. But I've now gained in confidence on my sewing skills and thot why not . . . .

. . . . and so I attempted it. Some squares are not perfect but it was so beautiful that I carried on.

So there we have it - my very 1st String Quilt! Am so proud of myself (grin!). Its gonna' sit for a bit till I'm done admiring it (grin again!) Will keep y'all posted of the end results.

Flower Fairies in Pink

Saw this lovely Flower Fairies panel on Etsy and just had to have it. It was a panel of 12 blocks measuring 5.5" X 8". It came in pink & in purple. Greedy me bought 'em both :-)

To begin with, I decided to work with only 6 panels. Framed it first with a perfect shade of 2" dark pink marbled fabric that brought out the fairies color. Then went with a 2.5" very light pastel pink.

Somehow had this olive green fabric that went with all the green in the fairy panel - YEAYY! Cut 1.5" and framed it all over the 6 pink blocks. Didn't quite know which direction to go next . . . . so played it safe and went back to the pastel pink. And finished it off with a 4.5" flowery pink & green fabric.

Pink polkadot fabric for the backing & instead of the olive green for binding, went with the dark pink.

Nice & Long it turned out.

Love, Hugs & Kisses

Here it is all done - my version of 'Love, Hugs & Kisses'. Made 4 across and 6 down with 3 different colors on a solid white background.

Framed it with a 2.5" solid white and decided on a multicolored border, playing only with the 3 colors used - red, blue & green.

Backing fabric was off-white with small flowers and binding was the same red fabric as the hearts.

And we have a cheerful looking quilt! I love it!

Dinosaurs in Colors!

A lovely dinosaur panel! Found it at Kelvin's of Bernina. It was bright & colorful. Had to have it.

It was small & sweet. So had to make it bigger. Framed it with a 2" black & white dragonfly fabrics. Then decided to use 3 different colored polkadot fabrics - aqua blue, red & green. Cut them up in 4.5" squares and made them into 2 rows. Finished it off with a 5" yellow fabric.

Backing fabric is a very dark (almost black) blue with white flowers and went back to the black & white dragonfly for its binding.

B.R.I.G.H.T & colorful!!

Children At the Beach

It was a lovely panel of children and their innocence, at the beach. I most certainly couldn't resist it!

The panel I bought came with 10 such lovely pictures. I chose only 6 to work with. Each block measured about 7" X 10". Decided to frame the blocks with a 1.5" sea blue marbled fabric, and knew I wanted a buttermilk color next.

Went back to the same blue and because I wanted some red somewhere . . . found this cream-reddish flower and went with it. Wasn't too sure about it, crossed my fingers tho'.

Now, the backing fabric I like - white & cream lines. Perfect I thought. Back to the blue for binding.

Hmmmm, it's pretty long. What do u think? Lovely! or just OK? Adore the pictures tho :-)

Notebooks!

It was a Sunday and me & my girls decided to have some fun with fabrics. So we chose those above and . . . .

. . . . made them into these - notebooks!

Its really that simple - no stitching required! Just some fabrics, PVA glue & double-sided tape. And fabrics of course.

Done in 10 minutes. My 11 year old did one for herself (hers is the one with puppies & kittens).

A great gift idea! Could put the fabrics & kit together, if anyone is interested?

Kids Quilt

I've got this quilt book for some time now. Been looking at it and have tried some patterns. It's a great book!

Saw this "Loving, Hugs & Kisses" pattern and was really taken to it. Looks simple and nice. The above was done in soft pastel color . . . .

. . . . and this one is done in bright colors.

This is my version of it - slightly modified. But am liking it lots!

Pretty Flowers In Lilac

The fabric was all like this - bought it in Bandung recently. I simply added borders and quilted the flowered squares one by one.

7 squares across and 10 down. First border was a 2.5" cream tone-on-tone fabric. Stitched it all around.

Next was a 5.5" dark purple fabric with leaves.

Love the backing fabric - lilac polkadot, and dark marbled purple fabric for its binding.

Simple & fast to put together.

Dinosaur

This was the fabric. Found it at Cottage Patch, Jalan Ampang. Love it!

Cut 6 blocks of 7" squares and decided on a log cabin pattern in 2 different greens & 2 different blues.

Went back to a lighter shade of blue all around and finished off with an interesting blue striped fabric (bought that in S'pore last year).

Backing fabric was a lite blue/grey with circles on it and decide to be bold & brave and went for a striking red for binding.

Good for a boy!

FABRIC crazy!

Went for a holiday to Bandung recently . . . . and came home with the essential FABRICS!!

Couldn't resist this hot air balloons on red background. Brimming with ideas on what to do with it :-)

. . . . some bunnies in maroon & blue,

. . . . some BIG polkadots (perfect for backing fabrics),

. . . . florals in 3 different colors,

. . . . lastly, yet more POLKADOTS! They come in so many colors. If any of you out there would like some, I'm willing to share my loot. They are RM28/ per metre.

Have a good weekend y'all. I will no doubt be busy with mine :-)
