Online Group - Scraps Blocks Swap

This is another on line group swap that I am joining headed by Janni Pederson, where I have to sew using all my scraps. There are several ways of doing it and I chose to sew with one long strip and added another fabric scrap right side together and sew.

I find that it is a kind of therapy in sewing all the scraps together and can never imagine how it will turn out to be until you finish cutting them into a 6" block.

In the midst of sewing and enjoying myself, of course along the way, the Seam Ripper had been my best friend....I need to complete them before end October, that is my own date line.

I will be back again showing what I have done once completed.

Jelly Roll Quilt

This quilt top without border sewn from one Jelly Roll was done a few months back. And now it has gone to someone. I donated this to Naomi Vela from Australia who is the organiser for Orphan Blocks Aussie Heroes. I am happy about it.

Online Quilters' Group - Florida Cabin Fever

August Block

I am joining this group headed by Debra Pena Franson and each members will be assigned to one block  each. There are twelve blocks altogether.

It is fun doing this, and I have just sent the first block to one of the members and will be carrying it on for the next 11 months...great!

EQ - Block Base Sew Along

Block #1 No. 1336  Sew Saw

After a few years of having EQ6 and upgraded it to EQ7 with all the accompanied books, today I tried my hand on Block Base Sew Along organised by Electric Quilt Company.

So, this block is 12" and using the Rotary Cutting method. Though I am not satisfied with the accuracy of the 1/4" sewing but I managed to submit it before the dateline i.e. before Monday, October 15th.

JUQ - 10-Minute Table Runner

It has been a long time that I have not updated my work. As usual have been busy with everyday responsibilities etc etc etc.

So recently, I went out with my bff Wan Fatimah and I did a surprise for her i.e. sewn this 10 minute table runner which is quick and easy. I was glad that she was very happy with it.

I learnt to sew this table runner through the on line group JUQ and we are doing table runner swapping among members too. It was fun.

See you again with more of my work soon.

JUQ - Charity Blocks for Children's Home

I participated sewing these blocks "Four Patch" for Children's Home organised by Marlene Baerg Oddie, a JUQ member. These were supposed to be sent out before September 6 but due to festive season and health problems, it was really delayed and only managed to post it out on September 11, 2012. It is a 6" block of each.

As usual I normally do extra blocks to keep to be turned into a quilt at the end of the year and sewn another two extra blocks which became like this below 12 1/2" block:-
