Got to apologise for not being able to post the Christmas crafts.. The lighting was not good enough. I couldn't capture the true colors of the Christmas decorations! Will try for the next blog!


Quilted the middle and top sections with straight line quilting. Did the square sections with diagonal quilting. I'v e also made two plain handles with the same green fabric as the middle section. For the lining of the bag, I cut 3 inches green fabric and sewed onto calico. Made the green fabric as the top of the lining bag.

I was caught up with some Christmas craft projects and neglected this bag. But I'm back!! Will post the Christmas crafts on the next blog!

I added a darker green fabric for the bottom half of the bag and two lighter green strips for the top.

When I saw this bag in the book, I told myself this is one bag I must try and make! The only problem I have is that all the instructions are in Chinese! So I just 'agak agak' and went ahead with it! I love craft books and as long as there are nice pictures, I think all of us can somehow figure a way to make it!! LOL

Another Japanese Bag

I saw this bag pattern in one of the books I bought a while back. Been eyeing it for a while! I am using the same fabric combination as my other Japanese bag projects! Love the colors!! LOL

Machine is working well. Sorry it took so long to post this! Took this picture after trying the machine. There is a sound on the machine which I have yet to identify! I hope it is nothing serious!!! LOL

This is the same quilt that was on the frame when the disaster happened! Once the quilting and binding is done, I have to send this quilt to the laundry shop to try and get the stain marks removed. By the way, the electrician came on saturday to remove the fan and hopefully, able to repair and fix it back soon.

Disaster!

We got home from breakfast one morning and found we have a new shower place! When I came in through the front door, I could hear water sounds. Not a good sign when you know nobody is supposed to be home!!! I dropped the shopping bags and rushed upstairs! This is what I found ->

water flowing right through the fan and the lights! And guess what was under the fan????? YES...the Swiftquilter!!! It was a sight I will not forget! The quilt was dripping and water was also on the Juki! The floor was flooded.......the rest you can imagine!!! LOL

More clothespin bags!!

Made 24 clothespin bags for a jumble sale this weekend at the church. I started it last week. It was a last minute decision. Found some fabric, sat down and started cutting out the patterns. It took me longer than expected to get all these done. I needed an extra pair of hands to help me sew the buttons so I recruited my friend, Haminah. We completed the work this afternoon and even had time to visit a friend!!!

Geri Doll

Made this doll for Geraldine. I was babysitting her for the first time and I asked her if she would like a doll. I gave her a book to look through and she chose this. I think the process of making the doll really intrigue her! She got to see how it is made from scratch!

Today, I am back to doing quilting on my Swiftquilter! Lots and lots of quilting to do!! LOL
