CAL 2019 - Finishes

Hi there!

I am sharing today, my first CAL 2019 block - Striped Flower Garden

The size turn out to be smaller than the original size the CAL group plan.  The finished block should be in  size of 12'" and my version is only 6".   This might due to the yarn that I use ... 

and this is my finish for Block 3 - Persephone Square ....  I choose pattern that easy to follow randomly rather than following the sequence of the blocks. I found some of the instruction is quite difficult to understand...

However I am happy with the outcome...

Crochet A-Long 2019

Hello there!!

During the weekend this is what I did. Choosing yarns for CAL that I found at Moogly blog...
It has been years since I join any Crochet Along.... For this pattern, I am using yarns that I can found locally in Malaysia.  I choose 8  different colors...range of blues and some reds....since I saw some of the blocks comes with flower pattern.

If you are interested to join in ,visit Moogly blog where you can get the details. 
You will enjoy reading her blog...




Happy Crocheting!!

Hand Pieced QAL - Week 1

I've been following Elm Street Quilt blog quite sometime now.  When she come out with this QAL, I thought of giving a try. It takes me about a few weeks to think about joining or not, until I saw Kristin of Simple Handmade Everyday video on how to do the 1st block.  She made it looks easy and I think I have time for this....and that's how I decided to join the group.

Today,I  started by choosing my fabric from my collection.  These Chocolate Sundae Batiks fat quarter was my choice. It will be the main color and I use white as the background.

I  follow all the steps from cutting, up to joining all the pieces from the video tutorial by Kristin...

This is the result of my first hand pieced Block 1..... 

and this is how the back of the block looks like... I just use my fingers to press all the seams. 

 
                                 

This is my first experienced in hand sew a quilt block.  I find it quite challenging.  Hope I can follow through until the end.  I'm linking up my first block at Elm Street Quilt.

February Finishes #02 : Heart Coin Purse

I want to do something different today… so I put down the hook and crochet project

that I’ve been working on. 

 

 

 

Today I want to play with my scraps. 

Inspired by all the hearts that have been the topic of February month,

 I choose to make something from it too. By end of the day, this is what I’ve came out with….

heart coin purse.  I finished not one but two coin purses.  

 

 

 

This is how the second one looks like.  

  

 

 

 So which one do you like most?  Maybe I can write the tutorial on how to make it.

What say you?

 

 

 

 

Wishing a fantastic Weekend!
