Here is a a cute quilt.... Sunbonnet Sue with her companion....
Love the color combination...
I haven't decided yet if I would make it as a pillow cover or sew together as a wall hanging...
hmmm.. it might be good for children's room.

Inilah quilt yang lucu untuk kamar anak2. Sunbonnet Sue dan temannya.
Saya suka kombinasi warnyanya, tapi saya belum menyelesaikannya, karena masih bingung, apa sebaiknya untuk sarung bantal atau untuk hiasan dinding...

Who doesn't know about Mary Engelbreit ?

For those who lives in the USA must be familiar with Mary Engelbreit. But I guess now that her works are all over the world....
The artist that makes our heart warm all year long... just by looking her art works !

It was love at the first sight when I flipped a decorating book, and see her drawings. It is sooooo cute... no one can resist not to have it.

She inspire me to continue to draw everything that I see when I close my eyes.... imagining things..
So... having things about her works is just show how I love her... !

These are some of them that I treasure the most....

Fabric panel that are ready for a pillow cover... aren't they are lovely?


Mary Engelbreit senang menggambar sejak kecil, dan ternyata hasil karya sungguh membuat banyak orang terkagum2 termasuk saya. Saya mengoleksi barang2 dengan print hasil karyanya yang selalu membuat saya senang setiap kali saya melihatnya...

Dia yang menginspirasi saya untuk terus menggambar apa yang ada dalam benak saya..
Ini lah beberapa koleksi saya...







And a little box to keep my sewing tools....



And this one supposed to be a key holder, but I just make put it on my bookshelves.



And pincushions....


And little boxes.......




And this is a pincushion that I make out of her fabric ... cute eh?



and one more.....

Quilt Wall hanging

Every Quilter's studio must be decorated with Quilt wall hanging. That is a signature of the maker.

I make this quilt to make my studio brighter... I pick a hand applique sewing machine and the fabric is just right for this quilt. The black back ground make the applique just pop up.

Ini adalah Quilt yang saya buat untuk Studio jahit. Aplikasi mesin jahit dengan latar belakang bahan hitam. Bahan untuk bordernya pas sekali untuk thema ini.

Happy Sewing !

Felt Craft

Felt Craft is fun to make. It requires no fancy tools, and suitable for any ages.
Cutting, gluing, a little sewing and decorating is all you have to do. You will end up doing it more than one piece, you won't even realize when you are hooked.

I made this Christmas ornament for sale, but sure I keep some of them to decorate my Christmas tree. For the last 2 years I always make myself a handmade Christmas ornament.. and I will be doing it every year... something to remember !

Felt are available with lots of color..
This is what makes me drools... ! LOL




Mixed and Match !
My kind of snowman....






And colorful scottie dog..

Work in progress..

half face of my snow man... and up there is a feet of my scottie dog !






My other snow man...










Yummy cup cakes....










More Cup cakes... plus owl and penguins...
















For days my work table are a lovely mess !
I am so happy to be able to make this.. and if this kind of ornament makes you happy too.. then.. a mission is complete !

Don't forget to color your days with a simple pleasure you can enjoy !
Have a lovely day !

Ornamentnya lucu-lucu kan?

Ethnic Doll

Since I love doll.. then I have a reason to buy a doll whenever I have a chance. I only bought one that really touched my heart.

So, I got this doll in Thailand.
Beautifully crafted.. with bright color fabrics.. I almost can not pick one, because they are all adorable. Alas, I didn't get the picture of them while I was there...

This is the one that I like.. A mother holding her baby on her back...


This doll now is on my console table in the foyer....
I love seeing her everyday....


A closer look.... Beautiful Mom with lovely baby...

This doll is small. I can put her on the palm of my hand.. it purpose is for a keychain..
oh how cute !

Karena saya menyukai boneka, saya mencari boneka etnik dari tempat yang saya kunjungi.
Saya hanya membeli boneka yang benar2 berkenan di hati. Boneka Ibu yang menggendong anaknya sungguh menarik perhatian saya... bagus ya?

Fascinated about butterflies

I love butterflies...
Fluttering around the flowers.. with their amazing delicate wings...

I can' t imagine how a caterpillar becomes a beautiful butterfly... Oh my !
This is just to remind me that we also can become as beautiful as those butterflies if we wait patiently in the process.

So..making a butterfly quilt is my expression to show how I love them so much. This is still a working in progress..


Saya suka kupu-kupu
beterbangan mengitari bunga-bunga.. dengan sayapnya yang rapuh namun warnanya sungguh menawan...

Saya tidak dapat membayangkan bahwa kupu-kupu itu berasal dari ulat.
Ini mengingatkan saya bahwa kita pun dapat secantik kupu-kupu, jika kita mau sabar dalam proses kehidupan ini.

Membuat quilt kupu kupu ini tentunya lahir dari kecintaan saya pada kupu-kupu.
Quilt ini masih berbentuk blok yang belum disambung dan belum di quilt....

Luv,

The Mansion House Quilt

By the year of 2000, my sense of color isn't really developed yet. I used a " safe color pallete" for making this quilt. But anyhow, I love it..
I trained my eyes to be aware of so many colors available.. and paid attention to everything surround me.. I learn a lot about color.. and what I thought is an impossible combination back then is just make sense to me now...

This Mansion house Quilt is machine pieced, Hand applique and Hand quilting.

Every Quilter always work with their heart... so it is kind of give away a part of you when the quilt is SOLD. But it is also a rewarding feeling, that somebody treasure the quilt because they care.

This Quilt has found a new place..






Pilihan warna untuk membuat Quilt pada waktu itu, tahun 2000 memang masih dikategorikan aman- aman saja. Saya banyak belajar mengenai warna, dan mulai lebih memperhatikan warna-warna yang ada disekeliling saya.

Kombinasi warna yang dulu bagi saya tidak mungkin, sekarang rasanya bisa diterima.

Setiap pembuat Quilt pasti mengerjakannya dengan sepenuh hati, jadi kalau Quiltnya terjual rasanya ada sebagian diri yang ikut pergi juga. Namun, biasanya juga yang membeli Quilt itu adalah orang yang mengapresiasi pekerjaan tangan... Ya kan?

Quilt ini sudah menemukan rumah barunya..

Luv,
