One thing leads to another

The joy of quilting taking me to always challange my self, to do more project... to try a new color combination.. and dare to try an advance design....

The way I see my surrounding is changed forever. I'm now more aware to colors... and always dire to look for inspirations... My mind started to asked for stimulations... so I often sit in the magazine corner at book store.. and satisfy my eyes and my brain just by looking at other artist's work. I thank God that He leads me to the path where I can really be myself, where I can express myself without has to worry about others opinion.


As a quilter... I can say that Quilt exhibiton is the place where I felt so overwhelm. I spent hours just to browse from booth to booth.. taking picture.. admire them.. thinking how in the world they can make such thing like this.. oh how they put their heart to make quilts.

I never thought that when the first time I read a book about quilt can lead me to an exhibiton like this.


I bought and borrow quilts book and then just taught my self to make more quilts...
My mother and my sister are among the first to receive my quilts... They are happy and I am happy... See.. being a quilter can leads me to being happy too... LOL. Not to mention that making quilt can teach me to be patient. My character is shaped too....
And for me.. the satisfaction after one quilt is done can not be expressed with words...

Incorporated quilts with beads is a common thing.. especially for Art Quilts.. so there it is.. I was lead to the world of beads and buttons.... As you can imagine... I felt like a kid in a candy store when the first time I went to beads store.... Yummy!

No wonder after that, I took a class for beading.....and weeks after that... I was busy stringing beads....

Happy Quilting.. Happy creating.....
Luv,

Quilts was the one that I fell in love with

Back in 1997, I felt like the whole new world was in front of me. It was time for me to fly. Whoa... you can imagine how excited I was. My visit to Half Price Book store and Dallas Public Library has given me a chance to know more about Art and Craft. That enrich my life up till now, and hope for so many years to come. Quilts was the one that I fell in love with.

The inspiration, the dream , the urge to do try a project...was coming when I flipped every pages of a book. That was magical. Almost every saturday, I spent my time at the library and check out books.


After months.. I saw myself get so busy trying to create things. My heart sang....
Thank you God for taking me this far. I want to grow and be fruitfull.

As advised, I started with a small project. A pillow cover.
I played save with those colors. Soft green and yellow. It was pieced and quilted entirely by hand.

Luv,
