patchymags

Most of my friends know I am patchwork crazy, a fabric-holic and sewing machine crazy. I collect fabrics wherever I travel to - Japan, US, Australia, NZ, Singapore, UK, Vietnam etc. Some people do not understand why I actually cut up nice pieces of cloth and patch it back together again! I would like to share with you some of my patchwork products and please feel free to provide any comments as "third party quilters". If you are interested in any pieces, please let me know as I make to order.

Bags and more bags to come

Recently I was inspired to make bags after subscribing to Quilt Japan. Here are 2 bags which I completed recently.

The "Fortune cat" bag was made in time for Chinese New Year to enable me to receive some good fortune. Well, I have not seen much "fortune" come in but I hope fortune comes in other ways like happiness, health for 2007.

I used to bring lunch to work using some paper bags and I decided to make for myself a lunch bag using strong denim cloth as the paper bags would break easily. I appliqued some "hearts" onto the bag using some decorative stitches. I also sewed some decorative buttons onto the handle so that I can reuse the handles if I wish to do so. It also makes it easier to wash the bag as I can remove the handles.
