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 ...

Closer view of the completed Block ...

Happpy Stiching !!

Embroidery 101: First Block

On Saturday I start tracing the pattern on the fabric.

Since I need some time to search for my threads ...

(thanks to my unorganise sewing corner),

only on Sunday I start stiching the first block.

 

and here I share some of the photos
of the completed block.

Happy Stiching!!

Embroidery 101 ... Blocks construction

Today I continue to share my journey in following the
 Embroidery 101 Quilt Along...

7th June... I start cutting the fat quarter fabric,
but I don't cut all the fabric.
  For today I cut only for a block and I start sew it since
 I was so excited to see the result.
 So this is my first block that I've contructed and sewed. 
The finished size of the block is 171/2"...arggghhh  it turn out
to be smaller by 1" ?? where has it gone wrong..
upon checking I realize that I'm using
 the 3"x121/2" for the inner square
and the outer square I used the fabric size 181/2"

As of today 10th June...

I've completed sewed five blocks(and all  turn out to be

 in the  same size 171/2")

and I still have another 4 blocks to finish. 

Now I am getting excited to do the embroidery...

which was the main reason  I join this quilt along. 

I love embroidery... really looking forward to it ...

counting the days to start with the 1st block.  

Happy Sewing!

Embroidery 101:Stitch & Quilt Along

 

I have been following and joined the

Embroidery 101:Stitch & Quilt Along

 held by Jennie at Clover & Violet.

Today I would like to share my work on progress of the Quilt Along

2nd June - I've started to cut the nine 51/2" white fabric blocks

 and sewed them with the 11/2" strips.

 

3rd June - Place an  order for the 4 pc fat quarter bundle

 from LoveMeLots  online shop. 

 Since they have limited choice I have to mix and match the

color tone from other designer cotton fabric. 

 Anyway since this is my first quilt that I learn to sew

I don't give so much focus on the colors. 

6th June - Received the fabric that I ordered.

I received 1/2 yard each of the Bamboo Garden in Grey,Dolce

and Lilly in Blue, Dolce by Tanya Whelan. 

The 4 pc fat quarter bundle??... hmm I forget to look at the designer name.

I was so excited upon receiving all the fabrics. 

Tonight I will start cutting the Fat Quarter Fabric.

Aside from the fabrics that I ordered included in the

parcel were some stash fabrics. 

 I was so happy with the gift... love it...

Happy Sewing!!
