It's been a life time...

Today is Tuesday, insyaAllah another a week to go for fasting. Tough I haven't being able to write any post in my blog, I make sure to pay a visit to all my blogger mate. Browsing through their blog really easing the mind.

Catching up with my DWP (Double Wedding Patchwork project)...

At last I'm nearly done with my DWP fabric cutting and marking...( I started in middle 2010). In 2011 I almost quit with the project because of the difficulties in the joining part of the curves arch, this is where quilters needs to test their sewing skills...so thus I clung to that idea and proceed with my DWP. Then another problem arise, erhmmm... my main fabric (for template no. 1 and 2) wasn't enough, arghhhh (I purchase the fabric in 2009 at Ampang Cottage Patch (ACP) - 5 meter, will they still have the design in 2012).

My luck indeed, on 25 Mei 2012 my DIL nephew wedding receptions in GOMBAK, I went along to attend the kenduri which started at 8:00 pm. Why I said my luck..because when we reach the shop it was past 6:00 pm and the OPEN sign was on (they closed at six) and then the fabric that I aim for is available (last kopek - I purchase every meter left which was only 4.4 m). So I am very pleased with that and hoping to complete the DWP this year because I am peeping for this design..THE BUTTERFLY applique which Alice (ACP's owner conveince me to try) and had allowed me to snap a picture on display once I purchase the design pattern).

Hello..hello

I am still quilting..wait for my newest post which I can't retrieve after saving while trying to upload a picture..oh poor me..

My "Brother" First Product..

This IKEA fabric was bought nearly two years ago. I was not sure what to do with the orange stripy, I just cut the fabric simply to test the embroidery pattern that had been computerized in the Innov'is 50. Then, I came to this idea of making use of the tested piece of fabric into something useful. A lunch bag as a gift to my workmate who is resigning this month.I hope she will treats this bag as what I intended when I was making its or otherwise she may keep her books in it...

This bag measures 14 inches x 18 inches.

                                               The inside was layered with purple print fabric.

                                                             Two slots pocket was also sewed inside.

                                                                     This beg is for my friend Yati.

This is my "brother" a gift from my DH.

A New Sewing Machine

At last my old sewing machine SINGER Genie has a replacement. My DH purchased the BROTHER'S sewing machine Innovis 50 which I have been longing for so long.

To complete my dreams is the additional accessories that come with this model, that is the WALKING FOOT, QUILTING FOOT and the WIDE TABLE.

With this new gadget, hopefully  I could speed-up with my DWP project which was halted nearly a year.

WISPs (Works in Slow Progress)

For the past two and a half months, I only view my blog without making any posting. Common reason is of course same as everyone in this bloggers land intro when making a come back. I cannot  express into words the so many happening that had happened during that period.

What surprised me and inspires me to continues my blog is the increasing numbers of visitor shown by the Visitor Traffics gadget. I wish to thank all of you for visiting and reading my blog.

This is a WELCOME wall quilt which I hand quilt WISPs.

My WISPs quilt project is indeed making a progress..slow progress is still a progress, I hope. Here are some of the progress that I have achieved :)..  

Cuts and marked fabric for the DWP

My DWP cutting template which I is very hard to made.

I used artist pencil 10B lead for marking.

My other fabric yet to be cut and marks.

This is where I sew and do my quilting project.

Love of Quilting

On 6 May 2011 (Friday),  I went to Kuala Lumpur acompanying my daughter to attend an interview at the PPUM (Pusat Perubatan University Malaysia). After her session is over, we stop by at Mid Valley but the car parking was full than my son only managed to get a parking space at The Garden. I wanted to go to MPH Book store but we landed at the Border Book store instead.

I purchased three quilting magazine (America's and Austrilia's). It is a dismay to find that in between the contents of the magazine there was an article publish only part 3 of 3  for projects shown which means one will need to look for the next or previous magazine. This is actually the problem when we aren't subscribing a particular magazine.  We tend to miss an article which intrest us.
