SAL - A vase with flowers-COMPLETED

Just had to get it done and I did it on the same fabric background........












After all thought I used the reverse/wrong side of the same fabric ...... I think I did soften the look, didn't I? I appreciate all dearest blogger friends who gave me advices and responded. Thanks, girls.

As for the whole SAL, I machine quilt around all applique. The backing is just plain white and finished with a ready cut binder. Another pic was the back after machine appliqued before sandwiching. Mine turns out to be a wall hanging, hanged proudly on one wall of my sewing corner.

Well, Sue dear, I have done mine :)........ Thanks for the effort you have showered over the game.

NYKOLETT's Own

Another of the NIKOLETT's ......Rosni's choice is the wall-hanging. I managed to add up some quilting details on it.

Rosni, all yours :)

Not just REMNANTS

What remnants/stash can transformed into................... lots of goodies!

All these were from the fabrics handed over by Nikolett. With just about less than 2 meters fabrics... minus the backing, all utilized to the brim...... Here goes..........

This is a table runner with matching coasters


A wall-hanging for your kitchen/dining.
A quilted toiletries/makeup bag with matching box pouch.

And the favourite sewing caddy.So, dear Rosni, I am leaving them to you to pick up one for our own.... :)

Finally.......

.............. I did it!

some of my favourite blocks

FAVOURITE - BLUE QUILT

Look at these two identical (almost) of blue and cream. One of my favourite quilt (right) that I cherish always.

The original design (left) was derived from the Australian Patchwork & Quilting (my most fav. magz.) Vol 13, No 3&4, May&June 2005 and designed by Therese Hylton.

Since this is a sampler/wallhanging quilt I used nylon tread for quilting. Appliqued and quilted by machine. The most favourite blocks are the pair of birdie.... and the other two.

FLOWER BASKET

wall-hanging - ADR'S's
specially made this to hide whatever i have behind that wardrobe and acts as my pin-up board as well.
hexagon again. all hand-sewn and hand-quilted. collected the flowers from my 'completed-flowers' chest. have lots of flowers done while watching tv.

PINWHEEL

This pinwheel was done by triangle snipped off from four corners of my tablecloth making. So far have lots of those and have to transform the rest of the triangle stash into something else...have yet to decide.

One block consists of 4 pieces of tablecloth. The flying-geese frame adds texture to the almost monotonous design. Hang proudly at our dining room wall.

THE NOSTALGIC MOMENT

So much pressure and shopping around had been done to get the tones of blue for my this wall hanging clouds area. Within frustrations, i decided on dying my fabrics. Here are the outcome of it. I have a lovely shades of blues for my clouds.

This special Lion and a Little Lamb is for my son (BOY) to be hung on his bedroom wall.



Symbolically we both had created a nostalgic yearnings about the quilt. Curious to know....? Me, the Lion will take care of my Little Lamb (Boy) till the end of my day.. No matter how old he has become he is still my Little Lamb. So Boy has to really take care of this quilt for his generations to come.... I saw the tinge of colours around his eyes, though he was trying hard to conceal it. Well......

Just found the exact source of the design. QUILTMAKER'S Winter 2004 - Special Issue. This is named as MARCH MASCOTS.

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.

SWIRL

wall-hanging - swirl
just another of the flower garden quilt. the fabrics were the remnants of my 2 girls 'baju kurung raya'. they are french cottons and having a batik design. it has the swirl formation in the centre. that is how i got the name for it.
this was done quite recently at BK3 home. now this little beauty is happily staying there with the 2 girls. (the girls said that i made their baju kurung smaller in size so as to save fabric for my quilt.(no.....not really)

WHITE DAISY

wallhanging
when first bought the magazine, i fell in love with this. in no time had it done. have it faithfully hang in my studio .

SAMPLER QUILT

wall-hanging - quilt sampler this is one of my beloved treasure. adapted from a magazine. try to imitate the original colour coordination but slightly off. try to get the original pictures later. proudly hang on my studio wall

LOVELY PAIR

this wallhanging design was taken from a magazine (i'll search then) with only the girl tutorials. But they include the uploaded design for the boy. I did that and made the quilt for both. Nice huh! I try to locate the actual resource and add them here later.... promise.
The PAIR still hangs at my sewing studio wall
