Past Quilts

Clockwise from the top, starting from left:

1.  This queen size quilt was made for my eldest daughter and named as 'Flower Girl' quilt.

2.  This twin size quilt was made for my 2nd daughter. The block pattern was Sun Burst and in the gradation of blues.  The quilt was named "Day and Night".

3.  Well, this queen size quilt was commissioned to me by my sister-in-law and she gave me the freedom to choose the pattern.  So i chose to machine applique the roses which pattern was  taken from an 'Encyclopedia of Applique by Barbara Brackman and joined by Courthouse Steps blocks.

4.  This baby quilt too was commissioned to me for a friend's newborn grandchild.  I did not follow any particular pattern. I used the preprinted blocks and joined randomly with square and rectangle blocks.

Past Quilts

Clockwise from the top, starting from left:

1.  This was a baby quilt also done with  a preprinted square block motif which i made for my friend's 2nd child.

2.  The lap quilt was specially made for my mum using Carol Doak's paper piecing techniques. My mum loves it very much.

3.  I was commissioned to do this baby quilt using preprinted motif too.  I shadow quilted the design and it was simple.

4.  This lap quilt was specially made too for my dad using normal piecing techniques....well the pattern i have forgotten from where i took it....but never mind.

Past Quilts

Clockwise from the top, starting from left:

1. This single quilt was done in the early years when i first started taking classes.  Simple.... using ready made   square motifs and i just joined them by using sashings and adding borders and quilted in the ditch.

2. The same way as the first quilt.

3.  This was the first block of the months that i learned when starting lessons with Quilt Gallery.

4.  This choo choo train motif was chosen to be given to my friend for her son's birthday.  Simple straight sewing quilted in the ditch too.

As for a beginner, quilting is always in the ditch.

My First Pouches


Hmmm....pouches.  I was really really interested in learning how to do this and so i learned from Quilt Gallery.No doubt it is easy and can be done in one day but kind of complicated and it was easier to hand stitch rather than doing it with a machine. I embellished one of them, which you can see clearly, using yoyo with button sewn on it.  So i guess these will be my last hand-made pouches....end of story!!!!

A Calligraphic Applique


Well, i really love doing this project which was also my first watercolour calligraphic applique wall hanging also using collage techniques. I completed it in May 2000. This work was also featured in the same local quilt book "Variasi Seni" by Harvinder Kaur and Zamirah Arshad.

A House in a Village


This wall hanging was my first landscape quilt project in the year 2000.  The picture was copied from a postcard which featured a wooden house in a village near a stream.  The techniques used here were machine appliques, thread embroideries and stenciling.  It was really fun to do and took me six months to complete it. But if anyone were to ask me to do it again....gosh....i surrender!!! This work of mine was featured in our local quilt book "Variasi Seni" by Harvinder Kaur and Zamirah Arshad.

Completed Quilting A Friend's Quilt



One of my on going business that is to complete quilts for my friend who loves to do the quilt top only and always commissioned me to complete quilting the quilt.  She is the Queen of Appliques.  Her work is beautiful and i am amazed. She inspired me to do appliques  too which they are a few projects that i have to finish. Will be able to show them to you once i am done.




 Great fun doing it for her all the time.
