More of creative sewings - Patchwork & Applique

Here are some of the creative sewing which I really adore and dream of making... I hope it inspires you as well.. Just to share with you how sewing can decorate your life.

For your eyes only

To all my loyal viewers, deeply apologize for the long silence... Too busy with my lil 9 months old baby... Still breastfeeding.. Thank God I survived on breastfeeding until today...

But I still do a lil bit of sewing & embroidery... Only when there's an urgent "cannot-say-no" orders.. I do admit, I had to go very slow at some orders... or might have put aside some... I'm so so sorry for my delay...

When I come to think back... what is money compare to the baby who needs you by their side... But no worries my friends... I'm doing the best I can to cope with your delayed order(s) ya...

Give me some time...

Anyway, just to share with you some old pics which I didn't manage to upload since Dec 2010.

Enjoy the pics & HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011.

Hexy #8

Completed my Hexy #8 for kak Dee, with theme of red & yellow.
Another 2 sets for her as well, the last 2 sets will be black & yellow. Hope to get it done by this week..

Phew.. I sure did a marathon.. I managed to cope up with all 10 sets within 2 months!
Wow what a challenging achievement indeed.
I started my 2nd hexy set only in November, and now I'm finishing my last 2 sets in Mid Dec.
(pat my own shoulders)

I really like this art of hand sewn method... at least I didnt get to waste my time, I can sit anywhere, any free minutes... to do this hexy.. even in the car...( of course when I'm not driving).
Time is so precious now.. since my big belly really giving hard time sitting with my Janome.

Sorry for all my friends out there who is still waiting for their orders.. Sorrryyy if i dragged it too long.. I might have to cancel orders, or put on hold until after confinement.. But I will try my best to make as much as I can by end of Dec 2009.

After new year 2010, it will be a new year for me.. I will be concerntrating with my own health, my own newborn preparation..(arrghh.. I hv not made any for my coming bb yet.. boo hoo hoo).. and a new life will begin..

Sorry to dissapoint some of you readers... well, I'm doing my best..
Wish me luck!

My love is for real

Tada! As I have promised to show you how my mystery love looks like.. This is the result.

Its a wedding wall hanging requested by Ms Valery for her wedding recently. I can only publish the picture after the event is over, it won't be a surprise if I displayed earlier...

This masterpiece turn out huge.. I though it would be just around 40'x40'... but the exact size reached up to 60"x60"(arrgh.. I forgot to measure before handing over to Val.. so I don't have the exact figure..) I put this on my queensize bed when taking this pic (see my lil girl still sleeping by the side of our bed?), it covers the whole bed! Unbelievable.. A bit of extra size, but I treat it as a gift to the bride for the extra inches.. Hope she likes it.

If I were to make another one of this... errr.. I would think twice.. ! hehe.. not easy you know.. with my very limited time.. patchworking needs time & patience.

I love to love..

I'm love sick already...

Will only post the final masterpiece sometime next week..

Display is researved until event is over..

sneak preview only yaa..!

1st round of hexy

To my hexy pals, sorry I posted my 10 hexy daisy a bit late than the due date which is on the 15 Aug. A bit bz lately, and tired.. (I'm getting morning sickness already ...arrrghh.. *wink*)

THis first hexy blue color set of 10 goes to Faridah Salim. Hope she likes it.

Hexy game

I can't believe myself that I joined a group of creative ladies who love sewing as well.. together hand-in-hand building up a Grandmother Daisy Flower queensize Quilt for ourselves.

Isn't that sweet??? Picture above is courtessy of Kak Diah.. A sample of how the hexy game would turn out to be..

How does it work?

1) We gather around a bunch of 10 person (all virtually scattered around all over Malaysia)

2) Draw will be held every 2 weeks, on who's turn will get the whole set of 100 daisy quilt flower from all members.

3) Each person will have to make 10 daisy quilt flowers following the prefered theme color the winner of the draw for that 2-week period. Everyone must finish the 10 flowers on time within 2 weeks, and send it to the lucky person by post.

4) Every member will get her turn to receive the set....

5) I just cant wait for my turn...no need to worry.. even the last person will get her turn by end of december.. not that long rite? Imagine if you make this queensize quilt all by yourself..HANDSEW! I wonder if I can finish em in 5months.. without this kick-startup...

Hehehe.. dun laugh yaa! This is my first time making this trully handmade and hand-sewn creation. All this while I only made my sewing with my very helpfull & faithful Janome machine.. Too lazy to use hand needle.. but now.. no choice!

Top pic is the back view. Not that hard to make, just print out the required size of template, standardise with all members... See Balkish blog for the details of this game.. Click HERE

This is the front view... sorry about the white temporary stitches... Can only open when finish all..

Hopefully I done it right... Please comment ya members...

BTW, the lucky person to get the first draw is Faridah Salim. Her prefered color is BLUE.. Wait till I get all my fabric done..

Love is in the air..

Love... love..love....

I fell in love with love
Stay tuned....~~~~<@
