Sewalong is really fun.... I participate sewing the Tote Bag with a sewing group on FB.  Looking at what fabric they're using to create this Tote Bag is really a feast for my eyes... and I just can say that they are creative.... Using different kind of fabrics.. is an eye opener for me...

That is the bag... Wooo hooo... Love it.

As usual, after making one project... there is a desire to make more...

And this is a handpainted boxes... consist of a colorful little dots... create a beautiful pattern... 

Wooden art...  and frangipani flower hair clip.

A typical Balinese house has a stone carved fence.. . Simply Gorgeous. 

Very detailed work on carved stone...  Beautifully made !










And this is a wooden doll ( this is a typical javanese puppet /doll ) I found them greeting me on a restaurant. They are holding a menu they offered.

Frame coin purse

I always up to trying new things... the challenge makes me excited.  This is what I did lately..
making a frame coin purse. 
Bought the frame online and trying to figure out how they make a coin purse. Start with making my own pattern... well internet sure gives us what we need. LOL. I learn the tutorial how to make this purse... and with trial and error I make this...

I'm so confidence making the one with gusset which is more challenging than not using one.
Still... I need practice to make it neat.
but so proud that I finally can make it.

And the other one... I use different pattern shape which I draw myself... without gusset, but I did the machine quilting in the fabrics. Mary Engelbreit's fabric... my favorite...
Isn't it lovely ?

I still have 3 more frame... Yeay...
I'll  pick the right fabrics for them... and for now... I need to sip my afternoon coffee...:)

Have a great day my friends...
Stay happy and healthy....

Pillow cover from selvages fabric

Another pillow cover project from selvages fabric...
Applique.. and hand quilted... 
 

Love it...
Happy Quilting...
:)

Selvages Quilt

I save those selvages fabrics for quite some times... so when they are adding up I thought it's about time to make something out of those selvages...

First I sew them row by row..
then use them like I want to.
This time I would like to make a wonky house Quilt.

I love house quilt... but wonky house quilt ? like them better for their quirky appearance.. it was really related to my brain which sometimes just can't go straight. LOL

I make one to see if it working nicely, and I kinda like the result..
first, this is intended for a mug rug... then the size is too big so I make a pillow instead.

I still have those selvages fabric... enough to make a baby Quilt size :) I'll do a baby quilt version for wall hanging Quilt I guess. Whaaa.... that would be nice... :)

Happy quilting.
