Honey Comb Quilt Along

Hi Everyone!!

 I am sharing my newFO for the month of March. The Honeycomb Quilt Along hosted by Jennelle over at Echinops & Aster.

 For this project Jennelle is using the honeycomb fabric by Kate Spain.  For myself, I am using the leftover fabrics from my collection which I bought from the local shop.

 We are already at  Embroidery tutorial week. You are still not too late to join in the fun. This quilt along will ends on April 16th. You will learn how to do English Paper Piecing technique, hand applique and embroidery.  This is my progress so far...

Happy Sew Along!

February Recap : NewFOs and Finishes

I only had one small NewFO sewing  project namely Scrappy Triple-Zip pouch 

Two quilt related finishes in February are ...the January NewFO  project- the Starburst Quilt top   

and secondly is an UFO project - Embroidery 101 Quilt.This is how the front looks like

and this is the back.

I label it by stitching the month and year of finishes.

 I hand quilted it using two different colors of thread...yellow and purple.

Two other projects finishes in February but not sewing related are these crocheted projects  ...Cute Granny Bag

and Star Coin Purse.

Happy Crafting everyone!!

January NewFO

January was a busy month for me...I have determine to finished my UFOs this year if not all at least one finishes for each month.  By saying that, there will be not many new FO for me this year except for small projects challenges which I love to join. 

The one and only new quilt project that I've started this month is the Starburst quilt which is basically a quilt along that I participate at Happy Quilting hosted by Melissa. 

BUT  there are several new small projects finishes this month as following....

1. Pouches for my daughters and friend

 

2. Herringbone cushion cover 

3. Finished piecing the blocks for Rose Garden quilt top... it was from 2012 NewFO

Happy Sewing!!

Starburst Quilt-A-Long

Hello Everyone!!

These are the fabrics that I choose for this Quilt-A-Long hosted by Melissa over at Happy Quilting.  

After reading the cutting instruction which need to have fabrics from different value I'm not sure if my choice of fabric is OK for this quilt along...but still I proceed with the cutting since I don't have much choice.  

I completed the cutting today and ready for the next step. This is my first new project for 2013.

Happy Quilt-A-Long!!

2013 NewFO Challenge

Hi Everyone!!

Barbara over at Cat Patches hosted this 2013 NewFO Challenge linky party.

This is my second year joining the fun.  It is about getting started a New Project each month without to worry to finish it. Following are what on my NewFO wish list for the first two months in 2013 in no particular order…

I intend to join About A Quilt Sampler QAL : A sampler quilt with custom quilting hosted by Amira  at  littlemushroomcap

This QAL is going to be all about how to do customize quilting. It will be about quilting  by block using a domestic machine and the quilt as you go technique for each block. 

 The finished project will look like this…

Another project that I'm looking forward is to make a quilt for my son using this  fabric bundle.

I still not decide on the pattern but these are some options that I’m looking at …time will tell

A zig zag or

a log cabin four patch pattern

That's all I can list for today ...Some bloggers have more but I will keep my list short for now.

Visit Cat Patches to see what others are planning for 2013.

Happy Quilting!!
