Crochet projects

Crochet projects that I've being working on for the whole week are these three "kopiah"with name.
Kopiah as we call it in Malaysia is a rounded cap worn by Muslim men. 

Basically all these "kopiah" with name are orders from a customer for her children. 



These two kopiah are basically from two different pattern.  The one on the top I used hdc stitch and on the bottom is using dc stitch.  It is my first try... just to see the different.  Upon completion,  I found that crochet using the dc stitch was much faster in completing the project. 

 
Anyway, I love the hdc stitch pattern better if to compare with the dc stitch since the "kopiah" looks more sturdy and neat.

Happy crocheting!!

Embroidery 101 : Block 4

This week what I did  for sewing was stiching the 
 Block 4 of  Embroidery 101 Quilt Along
at Clover &Violet.


The most challenging part when stitching this pattern was when
working with the long and short stich.
That is why, I choose to stitch the bird and the roof  pattern
 after I have completed the others...

Anyway with the little diagram provided by Jennie
on how to worked the stitches I managed to
complete it.


The little diagram was really helpful!!


Just to share with everyone following are all the four completed
blocks for the Embroidery 101 : Stitch and Quilt Along.


I also share this post at Sew Darn Crafty
and Clover & Violet.


Happy Stitching!!
