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.

Carolyn's World Travel T-shirt quilt
Some of the favourite pieces are:
This is from a t-shirt which Carolyn owned dating back to her days in NZ in the 1990s! A bit "worn out"! There was a lot of debate if it should go into the quilt!
Yes, Carolyn has been to Timbuktu and back! (one of the few people who has been there and back!) This is a t-shirt she decided to "sacrifice" for the quiltSome other interesting places Carolyn has been to............ Moscow, Cancun!
Love the colours in the t-shirt quilt, very very colourful and vibrant! I used the left over t-shirts to do the borders and the effect is very colourful!
This t-shirt is truly a "community" effort. The prototype was done by Carolyn and Lily. Sewing was done by Shin Ning and myself using my "rolls royce" Bernina machine!
Good effort Carolyn. By the way, you passed test for 1)using scissors 2)basting quilts. We can proceed with your Coca Cola quilt!
