When I look at this picture, I am glad I did what I did!! I like the outcome!! The quilt top doesn't look so dull anymore. I am not rushing to add the border. Maybe leave it for a day or two and then go through my fabric stash and see if I can come up with something!! I have this little voice that say.....light blue!! I don't know...we'll just have to see!!

Remember the quilt I tried to finish in haste??? I felt happier after I took it apart!! I seriously did not like the finished look! The machine quilting was not nice!! The colors were dull eventhough I added a yellow border!! Today, I found some time to start on it again. I added sashings with yellow background and some blue prints. This somehow brighten up the quilt!! I must remember in the future to avoid situation like this! It was time wasted putting it together the first time! LOL

My friendship swap bag!! It's really a small bag! Check this out!! Smaller than my pc screen! LOL

Started on the bag today. I thought it would be difficult but surprisingly it's easy!! I did not follow the instructions exactly as you can see! Instead of sewing 16 strips together for the body of the bag, I used two pieces of printed fabric. I wanted the prints to be seen.

I don't know how to stipple quilt so I ended up with straight lines!! I did try though.!!

Friendship Swap Bag

I have decided to participate in this bag swap. This is my first time so I am very excited!!! I have a few things to put in the bag already!! But I have not started on the bag yet!! I don't know if I should let on about the goodies or even post the bag on my blog!!! What do you think??......

Laptop Bag No.2

I have been rather busy and lazy the last few weeks. Busy playing golf and lazy to do any sewing!! However, I did remove all the stitches from Adrian's quilt top! Now I am left with just the log cabin blocks. I have not decided what to do with it. I won't be able to do anything until Wednesday!

I made this Laptop Bag No.2 for my sister, Jenny. I made it a bit too small so I had to make some adjustments! Check out the printed fabric on the right!! It does make it look more unique....that's what I told her too!. LOL

No!! I didn't make my deadline! I machine quilted the quilt and even finished binding it. I gave up after the first aeroplane applique. I didn't like the finished look. I left for KK on Friday and came back yesterday! So I spent most of today ripping the quilt apart!!! I began by taking the binding out....see the left side and the bottom of the quilt. I don't know why but I just feel that I have to rearrange the blocks!! Let's see...........LOL
