August finishes #01 : Notebook covers

Hello Everyone!!

This month I am not only finished stitching one notebook cover but three notebook covers.  The first notebook cover is for my girl...it is for a notebook size 9.5" x 6.5".
 

 

She specially request to have a pocket at the front cover for her to keep small items. The pocket size is big enough to fit a calculator size. The fabric that I used is Magic Garden by Sabine Reinhart for Blend Fabrics which I've won from a giveaway last year.

 

The second notebook cover for my son's used the Good Fortune fabric by Kate Spain .  This cover is fit for a cute notebook size 6" x 5.5".  I'm using the left over fabric from the Jacob's Ladder quilt which the top is still a work in progress (will share in my next post soon...)  

 

 

I handstitched my son's name(A D A M) at the front

This is how the back looks like

 Following is the third notebook cover that I've made for my third daughter. I used cotton fabric which I bought from the local shop. This is how the finish looks like. I used black polka dot cotton fabric for the background with combination of red and blue color. This notebook cover is fit for a cute notebook size 6" x 5.5".

One common thing with all these three notebook covers are the design. I play with hexagons in designing them ... I love them all.

Happy Stitching!

2013 Finish-A-Long : 3rd Quarter

Hello!
 

 

Here I am again...with my list of UFOs that I wish to look into finishing in the 3rd quarter of this year.  This time I list my UFOs in photos  and label each of the project name below to the link when I started all these projects...

1. Garden Steps Quilt  2. Sunburst Granny Square Afghan 3. Long skirt 4. Bags 5. Postage Stamp Quilt  6. Geranium Baby dress

Garden Steps Quilt was a finished project from Quilt Along that I joined in 2012 hosted by mother/daughter team at Clover & Violet.

 

I also include one UFO crochet project in the list.  Hope it is OK with the Finish-A-Long rules.  It is my first crochet along that I joined in 2011 hosted by Scotti over at  Oxford Family.

 

Third in the list is the fabric that I've cut and seage for making a long skirt for my daughter.  I never share about it at my blog so I can't show how long I've beeen keeping the fabrics.

 

Fourth are bags inspired from the market tote quilt along that I participated in 2011.  The quilt along was  hosted at Clover & Violet. 

 

Fifth is the scrappy postage stamp quilt which I finished the top in March 2012. 

 

And last but not least the project that I look into finishing is this Geranium Baby dress(small size).  I found the free pattern at Made By Rae  which I download and start cutting the fabric early of this year. 

 

Happy Sewing!

 

One Flower Wednesday and WIP

Hi ...

It has been a long time since I'm sharing a flower from my garden for the One Flower Wednesday party.

 Anyway this week I have completed one flower using the charm square that I won from Clover & Violet. This is how I use this flower. I will share the finish project after all the hand stitch done...

and this is another sneak peak on what I am working  currently with my Good Fortune fabric scraps.  For this I will make a notebook cover for my son.

I plan to link these two projects at the end of the a Season by Hand series over at Clover and Violet

Happy Stitching!!

A Year of Finishes : July 2013 goal

Hello Everyone!

June is a quiet month for me.  I only have one finishes in June which was the Scraptacular quilt - the goal that I set for "A Year of Finishes" party.

For July month I am looking forward in finishing the Jacob's Ladder block into a quilt top.  I've started cutting the fabric last year as part of the Value Added Quilt Along hosted by Rachel of Stitched in Color. The tutorial was shared by Blue Elephant Stitches.

 

Happy Quilting!!

June Finishes #01 : Scraptacular Quilt

This post is part of the 2013 FAL,and  A Lovely Year of Finishes

 

Yeah...I finished sewing this scraptacular quilt. The quilt top was completed in January 2012 .   The finished size is 52" X 65" This is how the front looks like.

and this is the back. 

 

This is my first quilt that used machine. I would say that the result is not as beautiful as the pieces that I hand quilt.
