MY PRIDE AND JOY II

THE MAKING OF

MY PRIDE AND JOY I

This is my pride and joy.

A quilt I made based on

Laurie Bird's quilt published in

A Passion for Posies.

I adapted it to my liking,

like made the flowers differently,

and embroidered it as I went along

and as the inspiration came to me.

THE BEGINNING

NEW LEARNING

I took a course in finishes

and trimmings of quilts.

We worked on small pieces in class,

but the idea is to apply these techniques

to bigger pieces.

It was very useful and I notice now

that the quality of my quilts

scaled up to a finer level.

 Got a little help from my friend,

of course, he he (Pinky herself)

MY STUDIO

This is the normal state of my studio when
I'm creating and selecting fabrics and sewing.

I just can't discipline myself
to put away everything I'm not working with
at the moment.
I just keep on creating in a frenzy,
until I get the project right,
the way I imagined it.
But I guess this state of
chaotic display of fabrics and colors
actually help me go beyond
the first imagined work
and always adds to it.

LITTLE HOUSE BAG

My friend Tuca made this bag for a niece. We made the project together, sorted out the fabrics and felt and I even drew a little doggie that was stitched behind the door as a surprise!

She even made a little zippered pouchie to go with it.
