Easter altar cloth

Easter is round the corner hence busy sewing altar cloths with easter theme

Kai's quilt

Felix (my nephew) has been sending us pictures of his little boy Kai and he is really cute... and looks a bit matured for his age!

I think these are real cute photos of him - being punished (having to pull his ears?), sulking(alone on a chair in the corner?) and he does look rather "old" for such a little boy in the last picture!

I made a quilt for Kai for his full moon and I hope he will find good use for it! it has got magicians etc (see pix). I do like to make quilts for my nephews and nieces' babies now to remember me by! So far I have the priviledge to present quilts to Kai, William Lai, Megan Wong and also Alfred Lai! and the quilts are waiting for more grandnephews to come of course!

Agnes's Fortune Cat piano cover

I finally managed to deliver Agnes's piano cover and cushions in time for CNY 2007! I owed Agnes a set of cushion covers for 2006 because my delivery is so bad and she would not let me forget about it!

Here are the items in its rightful place - hope it managed to get some fortune for Agnes and her family! See Agnes's princess Jia Yi posing with the fortune cat cushions!

Blue & white

This blue & white quilt belongs to Pek Hoong. I could not make it in time for her wedding! Look at the love ring and also the love swans!

Japanese king size quilt

This is a quilt stitched using Japanese fabrics and designs. I made it for my elder sister Rosemary in 2004. There are symbols such as the Shinto shrine gates, yin yang, pigeons in Mistletoe etc. Most of the designs were from the book Circles of the East by Kumiko Sudo.

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.
