BABY DUCKLINGS 1

baby-sets - Ducklings - Hajjah Zaharah
guess i am a bit obsessed with ducklings.
the quilt was machine appliqued and hand quilted.
request by the owner for her coming grand-daughter (how positive she was then). little embroidery was added to enhance the sets. finally she has got a grand-daughter indeed.

SYAM'S LAYMAT

laymat - Syam's

NAJWA'S OWN

single - Najwa's
before she left for her boarding school, i made her this. she is one of the closes niece i have and used to stay at my place during school holidays. she sews very neat and her stitches are tiny and even. she has the potential of inheriting this craft from me.... huh....do not let my kids know this! ! !

SINGLE

single - Lin's friend
got the fabric during my 'roundings' around town. just a simple prints , a chinese cotton, soft and colourful. made this in just two days. cut, pieced and join... the rest as 'fated' (schedule and abide by the rules). but it left me with bundle of holes.... cut design off... remaining holes here and there..... peeping tom!

SINGLE

single - Hajjah Kamariah

fell in love with the design adapted from quilting books grabbed from one of my trips to KL. all machine-pieced and machine-quilted.
this was presented to a friend..... till now still wondering how she could managed to be that close to me in our brief acquaintance that enabled me to gave her this. but deep down inside i knew she is/was like a lost sister to me... by then her health was a bit critical....we lost contact after my monthly checkup was rescheduled. pray for her still....

BLUE LILY BABY QUILT

baby-sets - Hajjah Rahmah (again)
this baby comforter was also done all by hands. the only custom-made sets that include the filling was this one. she insisted that... as a gift to her daughter-in-law.

HUMPTY-DUMPTY & FRIENDS

baby-sets - nia's friend
these little animal characters are copied from the fabrics design. the idea was to coordinate the concept of all the sets. designed and select colours accordingly and and appliqued and quilted by machine.

LEADLIGHT ROSES

wall-hanging leadlight-roses
managed to get hold of the magazine. it is from Australian Patchwork & Quilting Annual 2002 Volume 9 No 11 page 135.
the one on the left is the original design.
mine was done to suits the partition wall of my sewing room, the width was adjusted. the applique was hand-stitched and all hand quilted.

GOODY BOX

goodybox
some of our long strips are hardly use. so this is one of the alternative that we could transform them into. make two pieces though, but the smaller version was grabbed by my niece before i managed to take picture.

(well, pray i have the time and in the pink of health to really sit and do some research and post whatever i have to everybody here... really mean it)
