Embroidery 101 : Block 2

I start  printing the pattern for Block 2
 immediately after I received
the email from Clover and Violet yesterday. 
Since I have no other project that I've been working on
currently... so I start stitching it last night. 
Attached is one of the picture while the stitching
was on progess. 
Finalising the thread color with the Block ...
AND  here is  the completed Block 2 ...

Quilted Drawstring Tote Bag

This week I've been busy sewing this drawstring tote bag....
quilted drawstring tote bag to be exact.


I'm using stash fabric that available in my collection ...
This time round I choose green and brown color combination.
The size of the bag is about 16"x 14"
The length of the handle is about 20"



 This will be my 1st quilted drawstring tote bag that I've sew.
At the end of the string I handsew with crocheted flower
with beads and sequin...


I also sew at the outside of the bag with pink flower
 applique to make it more outstanding and interesting...
which I feel without it make the bag look dull.



 The inside comes with a holder to be used to hang keys...
especially car keys.
It will be more convenient to have it separate from
other items in the bag.




Basically I don't follow any specific bag pattern.
So I can claim this bag is my own pattern...



Happy Sewing !!

Quilt Block for Japan

 Last night I've been working on the above block for
Partnership Quilt for 2012 Tokyo Quilt Festival.
Ayumi from Pink Penguin posted about this project in her blog. 
Since I'm not an expert in quilting, in fact never even sew any,
this consider my first block for the size 9" x  9"
My plan was to sew the below pattern which I draw it
 in a piece of paper before I start cutting the fabric. 
 Half way through it, I am lost since I don't have the slightest idea on
 how to cut and  sew the centre...
At the end, my  block turn out to look like this.
Even though not the same as the pattern,
at least it still carry the theme - triangles and squares.

 For those who wish to participate in this project...

Wish you all Happy Sewing!!
