Garden Steps : Blocks Assembling

Hi everyone!!

 Today  I am sharing one of my sewing activity during the weekends... 

Garden Steps blocks... and this is my favorite block.

Basically I have finished sewing all the 12 blocks during the weekends....and I love it all !!

I choose to use the following layout... so that I don't have to worry about making mistake in choosing the block when I start stitching the embroideries...

The embroidery pattern for the first block was already posted  at Clover and Violet on 8th March ... but I've yet to find my time for it... maybe during the weekend. Till next week, here is all of the 12 blocks ready ...

Happy Stitching!!

GardenSteps : Stitch and Quilt Along

Hello friends!!

Jennie and her mother over at Clover and Violet are having another Stitch &; Quilt Along which have started with Fabric and Supply list on the 22nd February. I have enjoyed their first Stitch and Quilt along last year and definitely look forward for this one.   I had choose and place an order for the Good Fortune by Kate Spain kit at Sew Lux Fabric & Gifts and since it will takes about 2-3 weeks to reach my country I have to start off with other fabric.  I choose to use the Domestic Bliss combine with some Ruby fabrics. Here are all the fabrics that I decide to use.  Upon arrival of the kit, I might use it for other quilt projects or...maybe another Garden Steps quilt(time will tell)

For those interested, click HERE and it will take you to the site for more information. This will be fun and you will enjoyed every minute doing it!! Hope you will join in...

Happy Stitching!!

Scrap Attack String QAL

Hi everyone!!

 I started the February month with sewing the blocks for the Scrap Attack Strings QAL which I participated at Sew Lux.  As at yesterday I've finished sewing all the 8 blocks which meant to be for January month.  Basically we need to complete 8 blocks a month to have a  finish quilt size of 44" x 55"(80 blocks).  And these are all the scraps that I've put aside for this Quilt Along.  I will start sewing another 8 blocks for February month next week.

The paper piecing technique use in sewing this block is really easy to understand. For those interested to join you may click HERE to get the details.  You're not far behind since we're just started.

Market Tote : Stitch & Quilt Along

Hi everyone!!

I choose to sew the Market Tote that I participated at Clover and Violet for the FNSI.  Basically the Quilt Along is called "the Ruby Market Tote" since it used Ruby fabric line. I drop  'the Ruby'  name due to my  market tote used different fabric line... For my market tote I used Japanese cotton fabric....and this is the result...

Front of the bag with embroidered pocket.

and this is how the back of the bag looks like.

It also can be fold and easy to carry since you can just roll and tie it up. For those who interested to sew this may click HERE for the details.

It has been a productive week for me and wish for you too.

Happy sewing!!

Market tote: Stitch & Quilt Along

This is just a post to share my progress on the Ruby Market Tote: Stitch and Quilt along that I joined with others at Clover and Violet.  This is what I've completed so far ...

Patchwork bag body...done

before quilt

after quilted

The lining and the pockets ...done.  The embroidery pocket lining is yet to be pressed...

Embroidery ... yet to complete.

I decided to change the fabric for the pocket since the earlier fabric does not match with the overall tone of the bag body. 

Happy Sewing !!
