My Favorite Recipe...

Hello everyone!

The Moda Bake Shop is one of the place that I frequently visit to look for inspiration. Currently they are hosting a contest and I am joining by sharing my favorite recipe. It is not easy to pick a favorite but this  Bloomin' Peaks recipe really caught my eyes.  The chef of this recipe is Ms. Emily from em's scrapbag.

 I love the fresh and happy colors combinations that being used by Ms Emily... It is something  that I definitely will give a try once I have the fabric!

So what is your favorite recipe? You still have time to share yours...

Skirts for My Daughters

Hi Everyone!!

I finished sewing skirts for my daughters sometime last week... the  first one was for my 8 years old daughter. It was made using Vintage cotton fabric with purple lace at the edge. It is a straight cut
pattern skirt.

The second skirt was for my 15 years old daughter.

It was a patchwork tiered long skirt made from light cotton fabric.

 Both skirts submitted as entries to the skirt week contest which was hosted by Adrianna and Susan at crafterhours. There are many more skirts shared by other sewers over at   flickr:skirt week 2012  .  Have fun and enjoy!

Happy Sewing!!

Blogger's Quilt Festival

Hi Everyone!!

 

Do you know that Amy Ellis at Amy's Creative Side is hosting the Blogger's Quilt Festival?  This is one of the platform for bloggers from all over the world to share photos of their quilts. This is my first visit and my first time to join and share my quilt with other bloggers.... not my first finished quilt top though but my first and only finished quilt at present.....  My first quilt might be nowhere to compare with all other amazing projects, but I am happy with the result.

My quilt for this Festival is a quilt that I made for my boy...I hand quilted it since my sewing machine is not suitable for sewing thick materials. My boy received an offer to further his study at the boarding school sometime in February.  Since the school is quite far from home,I decided to finish this quilt for him to bring along. 

This quilt was made from scraps of cotton fabric using pinwheel pattern. The finished quilt size was 60" by 72".  This is how the back of the quilt  looks like.

I personalized the quilt by stitching some wording ... the first was  "Work Smarter Not Harder"

 

and  the second one... "The Future is Always Beginning Now..."

It took me about three weeks to finished  hand quilted it.

 

 I wish each time my boy wrapped with this quilt will make him feels like I am giving him a warm hugs and reminds him of his family.

Ok... that's the end of  my quilt story...There are many more amazing projects and stories behind each quilts shared by other talented sewers quilters over at Bloggers' Quilt Festival. Have fun visiting them and enjoy the quilt show!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
