Country Doll

I took Country doll workshop... it was fun...  

The teacher prepare a kit for us... make it all easy to do...

:) Wow I can imagine the hard work she did before the workshop.

This is the appearance after the doll is stuffed.

 And.... tha daaa... This is my doll... :)

What is so good about workshop is that you can finished making something in a day !.. it is rarely happened if I did it at home...
with lots of  interruptions and mood changing... :) LOL

And meeting friends who share the same interests was really fun...

After this I'm looking forward to join a Bag workshop...
Whoo hooo..... Well... I'll be back to Quilting like before... but this kind of adventure is really makes me improve my skill...
Wow... this is what they say about : " Do not underestimate a woman behind a sewing machine...."  I got it ! :)

Happy making a doll... Happy sewing my friends...

Sling Bag

Wow.... I make a step forward and stretch my ability to make  new ( beautiful) things....
I took a one day Bag course and.... this is how it turns out...
I might have to change the handle with leather and the latch seems to stand out. Leather will be nice, I guess.
 

First bag isn't scary at all.. and I can handle it well, including sewing the liner zipper. :)



I know after this, I'll be busy auditioning fabrics... to make a second bag. Wheee heee...




Gaining a new skill adding confidence for myself....


Happy sewing.

Glasses case

Easy project to make...
Glasses case for me. :)

This would be a nice gift for some one you love...

 Can't believe that now I always need glasses to read and to sew... ooh owh... I just can't deny it. 
A good thing is that glasses comes in colors... and I like wearing it.
LOL..

Love what you do and Do what you love...

Yoyo flower applique

I have lots of yoyo's fabrics. So... rather than just hiding in the drawer.. I took them out and arrange a flower arrangement.
like this...

Then fill them up till full... the more the merrier...

Hand Quilted and added buttons in the center flowers...

I made a pillow cover !
Yeay me... I love it.

I took this picture in my garden...

Aku punya banyak yoyo kain yang dibuat dan disimpan di laci... jadi daripada bersembunyi terus... maka disusunlah seperti bunga di dalam vas. Perlu banyak yoyo berwarna warni supaya meriah.... dan juga kancing untuk pemanis.

Di Quilt tangan.. hasilnya lebih menul2.... ha ha apa ya istilahnya.
 
Dibuat sarung bantal deh...
Sepertinya kurang ya kalau cuma satu... ya siap2 buat lagi :)

Happy sewing,

Jelly Roll

Jelly Roll
I love Bali Batik and I'll make  Quilt with this Bali Batik Jelly Roll.
Let's see...
This is the Jelly roll...

Let's unroll it...

and...  one more

Now I will work on the brown one.
Someone wants me to make a quilt with brown color... I guess I need to train my eyes not only to the bright like I used to like... but also look to the subtle color of the earth...

Calm... that's what I feel.

I'll do the bargello with a modern twist...
Aha... how will it turns out...? Let me do the design first... ok... then the sewing... then the cutting... and sewing again....
Wait and see..... ;)

Bargello Wallet

I'm still in awe every time  I look at Bargello Quilts. Really wander how they make it like that.
Ooh well I will start small and easy I suppose... I'll get there.. (If I'm consistent and persistent and patience enough ) LOL
My friend asked me to make a prayer mat again with this Bargello pattern. And my sister wants to have a wallet big enough to hold her check book.


Feeling excited indeed when auditioning the fabrics.. I love every steps in the process of making this Bargello Quilts. and when you see the colors and design start to emerge... your heart will pound harder.. and the adrenalin goes whirling around... Excitement is for sure.
I use Bali Batik which gives me the right color like I want to..

This is the fabric that I'm going to use for the wallet/ handphone organizer. This is the first time for me... so wish me luck... 

A small version of Bargello....
Let's see if I can accomplished it. 
Looooove the color... it is speaking my heart languange... a serene and peaceful blue and green... a dash of pink and purple just make them alive.

Put them together..

Make a tube.. by sewing the top and the bottom part of the fabrics

Then...Slice them up...

And now... it's about time to arrange the fabrics..
and sew them row by row

Pressing is  an important step on making a quilt. so I did it. :) So I have a clean and neat surface to quilt.
I'll Quilt by machine...

This is the result after machine quilted...

Sewing the Zipper is a real challenge for me. I do and undo it to get it right. and finally... when it comes out all right... I really proud of my self for not quit easily.

I'm trying something different to take a picture... Bird cage and green grass.. and silk roses ?
Nothing is connected to each other... but I just like it...
 

This small project is sure another milestone in my sewing adventure...

I love it. This is a birthday present for my sister. Hope she likes it.

Keep Calm and Sew on...
Happy sewing...

Quilt Sampler # 2

I made other Quilt Sampler to  prepare a Quilting Class.
And now I have to piece the blocks together, adding sashing and border and ready to Quilt.

Oh, but I like the way they are together without sashing...
they are just blend together...
Ha ha.. 

This is it.

6 blocks Quilt Sampler made with Indonesian Batik 
They are 6 more blocks to make a complete 12 blocks sampler Quilt
Happy Quilting,
