Bag making fever is starting again for me. Another Japanese bag I made today (4th Oct). Very effective with the gold threads and the maple leaves

More bags - CNY bag!

Here is a bag for CNY! firecrackers, little girls in CNY clothes etc....... First of the bags went to Lydia and my patchwork friends are very excited about this CNY look and want it for themselves! so have to get the sewing going!

Kimono girl bags!

More bags for my collection, I am getting hooked on making bags these days! the diagonal zig zag quilting creates a nice effect in the bags... I tried making a smaller version with the fabric handles too.

Family of Bears

This quilt contains a"family of bears" for Swee Ying's little girl. It is a blanket measuring 3.5feet by 6feet and it is really cute in pink.

Carolyn's World Travel T-shirt quilt

For those of you who knows Carolyn, she is my most well travelled friend, having been to 83 countries thus far! During her travels she has collected t-shirts from various places however she has given some of them away. This t-shirt quilt has 40 t-shirts showing the 7 continents she has been to. Guess the 7 continents!






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 quilt

Some 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!
