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....

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.
