CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE - OCTOBER, NOVEMBER & DECEMBER

This is for October, some shades of turquoise.... love them flowing!









Have collected few fabrics stash with large and gordie floral designs and I arranged them for November.








Definitely this one is for December.... even though had not much christmassy fabrics, but somehow it looks merrier blend together.








So all done! Yeah....... can sleep tight from today onwards!!

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE - SEPTEMBER

This dark block is for September.

Now realized that I have a lot of dark fabrics especially black.....being one of my favourite colour.

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE - JULY & AUGUST

These are for July and August

I was not true to myself for neglecting this challenge for a long time. But not forgetting to collect some strips from my stash. All 8 pieces had been sewn and have 4 more to complete the whole year.....now I am off for the rest......

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE- JUNE

This is for June.

Really hard to find time to concentrate on this challenge and I owe few more to complete. This time I had more stash on earth shades and mixed and match to get this combination. Month of June had really 'stay-put' me down more to reality of life.....

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE - MAY

This is for May.

First time, I was able to sew and posting as scheduled. Hope this will continue throughout :-)

STASH BUSTER

In my attempt to fluff my this treasured quilt, it drizzled outside and had to transfer it indoor.

Just to recall old times when we stayed in BK3 and kids were in college, I managed to do this to unstashed, way back in 2002.

This king size quilt is quite an interesting project for those who find it hard to quilt in a bulk and have limited quilting space. And the best part is, it is a-quilt-as-you-piece project or foundation piecing, means that we laid 3 layers together and sew the additional pieces and it will form the quilt. Stacked all up and join the pieces by hand-finishing.

I used this great technique from JUDY TURNER from her book Awash With Colour. The pics from Australian Patchwork & Quilting Annual 2002 Vol 9 No 11 Page 58.

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE - APRIL

Just managed to complete my April block and was totally exhausted..... !

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE- MARCH

This pinky square is for March. Not much of pink colour collections though, and some of them were sewn together to give some good strips. I am way behind, and catching up soon.

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE - FEBRUARY

My February piece has the same concept as before. Since Feb, has only 28 days in a month, I have my one piece bigger than the rest to have a good square throughout considering the same number of days (have yet to include the frame around the block). I choose shades of green since February had done so much in my life, just to cool and tone it down........

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE

1st Post

Hi, DiahRothman here.

I am all the way from Malaysia, 53 years of age, a housewife and a mother of 3 kids. Have been quilting since resigning from my 9 - 5 job to join hubby in Kuala Lumpur about 7 years ago. Since then I never stop doing all sorts of craft works apart from conducting a small group of quilting and embroidery classes at home. Just started blogging about 2 months ago and self-taught myself about anything regarding this cyber-world. Happy to open my eyes and mind to join everybody out there and to explore the world and expending my knowledge more on quilts and anythings related to crafts. Need helps and guidance from everyone....please.

Okay. It seems that everybody has proceeded with their pieces. I was left behind then. Just started collecting my strip stash. Not much though but I'll dig more. I think I will take the lead from Rachel since I'm new to this challenge. Lead me please Rachel. Thanks.

Yeah, thanks also to Tonya of Tonya's Sewing Room who came to visit my blog and drove me to meet everyone here.
Till then. Best regards.
