Gingko Blues Wallhanging Quilt

September 9, 2013 7 Comments

Hi!

For those waiting for the About A Quilt Sampler QAL post, I have to say very sorry as I have forgotten to upload the photo of the block tutorial to flickr before I left Canberra. I will get to it before the month ends with the quilting too.

Currently I am back in Malaysia. Visiting my father in law who is still in coma. He is stable and is currently being treated at home. We are praying for his strength to recover and for my mother in law to be as strong to go through this difficult time. Your wishes and prayers are most welcome and appreciated.

Before leaving Canberra, I did manage to get the quilt for my mother in law done. I am getting it hung up in the room where my father in law is staying in. It is fairly a small quilt, but a good size for a wallhanging.

I started this quilt back in 2012 and procrastinate in getting it done. But I am glad it is all bound and ready to

be hung now.

Scrappy Trip Along Quilt Done!

August 10, 2013 29 Comments

Hi!

At last my Queen Size Scrappy Trip along Quilt is done!

I started this quilt because I got the Scrappy Trip Along bug when I keep envying all the quilts that keeps popping out of the blogland. You can even visit the Flickr group for all Scrappy Trip along goodness.

I posted a bit of the making of this quilt here and here.

And if you interested in making one, here is the tutorial. The making of each block is really fast but I hate pressing so I took a long time doing that.

This is my first time making a queen size quilt and my first time to quilt this large quilt on my domestic machine so I learn a few tips as I go along and hopefully I’ll be able to share the tips soon!

Anyway, today was a beautiful day in Canberra. The sun finally came out to play today after a week of cloudy cold days.

So, I took the advantage of today’s weather by taking photos of this quilt over at the riverside.

It is still windy and to pick up this large quilt is quite challenging. Here is me and my sis trying to hold up the quilt while making sure my hubby take a good photo of it.

The best we could get is this… so much for the efforts. Hehe.

I hope that gives you the idea of the whole quilt.

Here is the photo of the quilt laid on the ground

The backing of this quilt is vintage sheet with a stripe of orange solid with one scrappy diamond block.

The binding is my favourite of all. It looks like liquorice. I love stripy binding!

What a lovely weekend. I hope you are enjoying yours too!

XOXO,

Improv Log Cabin in Sarah Watson's Indian Summer

June 20, 2013 20 Comments

Hi!

How times fly by, Its Thursday already!

Last weekend was a quick one with very tiny time for sewing, and this week I haven’t put my hand on that sewing machine yet! *sigh*

Anyway, last weekend we planned and did a surprise baby shower party for a friend soon to pop with a baby boy! It was definitely fun, we did spend some ladies chatting time too till late.

Just a little centrepiece for the party, some toys borrowed from my little one, a cake I quickly whipped up, and some printed onesies shirts as banners

The ladies who created chaos at Pancake Parlour! Haha

Me and mum to be and the gift – quilt!

Previously to that, of course, I was busy with that quilt in her hand- as the present for the little one coming!

I love the mushroom…and the colours of this line is so lovely! I used several pieces of fat eights of Sarah Watson’s Indian Summer.

And because it was fat eights, none was enough for sashing, so I decided to do scrappy ones! Sew them in rows and press.

Then cut into sashing strips

I did a simple free motion stippling – which was fun! Have not done this for so long!

Winter time is really not kind to photography session… and yes, that’s my little helper peeking there. As usual! Hehe.

Well, that’s all for today, I hope to get some sewing done later today, and will be up with About A Quilt Sampler QAL post soon!

Hi!

I am just having fun and thought I’d link this recently made quilt to Ellison’s Modern Mini Quilt Challenge.

The main point of this quilt was for me to use the technique I learn from Sarah Fielke’s craftsy class : needle turn appliqué! I never would have thought that needle-turn appliqué would be this easy until I tried her method!

I was aiming for minimalist design with some fussy cut feather off Martha Negley’s feather collection and freehand leaves shape. I got my bundle of Martha Negley’s from Westwood Acres.

The colour choices : not really me isn’t? Haha! I was trying to run a bit from my normal bright colours – I kind of regret a bit for the choice.

And as for the quilting, not so minimalist ha? I was aiming to practice feathers. Hence the feathers everywhere. It was totally fun, and definitely has boosted my confidence to do more of quilted feathers.

Well, I hope you will have fun hopping onto Ellison’s blog for more minis! I know I am.

Art Gallery Fabric Make it Right Challenge Project : Reversible quilted car seat pad + Neck pillow

June 8, 2013 20 Comments

Hi!

Finally I get to show you what I made for the Make it Right challenge! (update:this challenge has passed June 2013)

When I got the fabric, I just know that I don’t want to make it into a quilt. I just want to think a bit out of the box. Indeed I did – and when I want to submit it, I was thinking “hm… which category should it be in? Quilt? Apparel or Home Deco?” Finally I submit it into Home Deco.

Make It Right Challenge- QUILTED REVERSIBLE Car Seat Pad - Amira Ameruddin

I would really appreciate it if you could take a bit of time to like and repin on pinterest!

~~Click HERE~~ to pinterest pin and click repin or like, because that is the vote they count for the challenge.

Anyway, I made this because the car seat is dull and of course I need to sew something to cheer it up!

And just because I made the backing as nice, I made it reversible too! The improved piecing is the back. Even the back pocket panel can be reversible!

You can refer to this post for the type of material and threads I used for this project.

Here are more photos: I quilt as happily as I can be. With very little planning really. I was just having fun most of the time! Glad it made it to the end!

Then comes a bit of marking here and there with pilot Frixion.

All quilting was done on my . Bunnings (hardware store here in Australia) Glove works as good as machinger’s glove and cost only 1/3 of machinger! And the colour is blue!

The ruler story : I do not change foot while quilting this despite of many straight lines, because I can’t be that patience! LOL.. I find this Fine LIne Quilter’s Ruler helpful to use on domestic machine, but sometimes foot can jump over it too! talk about dangerous (imagine the needle snapping on it)..you can find the ruler HERE > if you are interested.

Update: I love the ruler now that I can use it with my non-hopping foot!

Quilted with double layer of bamboo batting for extra stiffness and puffy quilting

Blogger's Quilt Festival : I Heart Quilt

May 19, 2013 34 Comments

Spring Blogger's Quilt Festival - AmysCreativeSide.com

Hi!

My first time to join the blogger’s quilt festival this year! Yeay me.

You have seen this quilt if you have visited my blog before. and currently is on my header as well.

I named it “I Heart Quilt” and I entered the quilt in Throw Quilt category.

This is my favourite quilt so far. Its mine to cuddle under too.

Story of the quilt:

Once upon late last year, a bundle of Vintage Modern fat eight bundle was cut and a complete quilt was born early this year- making it the quilt of 2013.

As a new quilter, it is only safe for littlemushroomcap to play around with bundles of fabrics that were already matched by awesomely talented designers like Camille and Bonnie.

It all started with a small heart block.

Then it grew into a four patch heart block in the same tones of colour.

The whole design of this quilt was on the go planning. The sashings, and the little red corner stones all was added while planning on the design board.

Once the top finished, it looks as if it needs a bit more border, so a white on white border was sewn to it.

After the border was sewn in, it still look a bit plain, so littlemushroomcap decided to add pretty scallops! So, through the net, littlemushroomcap search on how to do scallop and lastly she decided to use folded paper to trace over for the scallop.

Lastly but not least, the quilt needs a binding to finish it up.

Through the little stash she stumble upon the polka dot in red fabrics which was just enough for the bias binding of this quilt. What a lucky chance.

and now, the quilt was done, cuddled and loved and they live happily ever after..

The end. LOL.

Anyway, I love, love. love this quilt. It will leave a lot of memory for me as a beginning of my love to quilting.

And I will keep this quilt with its name. I Heart Quilt because I do. I do love quilts…..and probably a bit addicted to them too!

Quilt Stats :

Size : 60″x 60″

Quilt top Fabrics : Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille, scraps of white on white

Backing Fabrics: Infinity Designed for Spotlight

Binding Fabric : Dumb Dots by Michael Miller in Red

Batting : Bamboo Batting

Thanks for visiting. Have fun browsing lots, and lots of inspiring quilts here for the blogger’s quilt festival!

April 29, 2013 18 Comments

Hi!

I sometime can’t believe that month passes so quickly that I feel like I missed it. Where has the days gone?

I need to catch up on BOM and my bee blocks and swap to send out….

Maybe I was busy with other things too..I love the weather now, so i spend my time mostly outside doing the gardening and I also learned a lot about baking.

Cinnamon rolls

Black Forest Trifle

One of the weekend I spent a night finishing up one of the thing that has been on the UFO pile. One of them was the modern placemat. I didn’t quite like the top I made. However, once it was quilted, I think I am pretty happy with it.

The modern placemat is one of the project in Quilting Modern which I bought many months ago and this was a project that I started not long after I got the book.then it was piled on the UFO pile for quite sometimes…thankfully it got finished and can now be used.

If you are here from Kirsten blog, Let’s Get Acquainted Bloghop, I would like to say Welcome!

I love to hear from you, so feel free to leave a comment and browse around.

This blog is turning One year soon and I am planning to have a giveaway! Maybe some delicious bundle of fabrics. Be sure not to miss the chance!

Till then

Hi

Sharing with you today, the gift sent and received for the Covert Robin hosted by Rachael at Imagine Gnats.

BTW I love the logo!

I sent over a table runner in spring colours. Bouquet of pink flowers and bright green with a touch of swirly quilting. I sent mine to Erin.

I received from Buffie this lovely placemat and hotpad. So lovely in autumn Colours too. It has been a wonderful autumn so far here in Canberra, and I am loving this placemat so much! Thank you Buffie.
