JUQ Online Project - Boxes Mystery Quilt 2012

It has been a long time since I last updated my work. Has been busy lately, nothing serious but in everyday life.

Today kind of excited to show what I have after selecting the fabrics that are in my collection to start with this new mystery quilt, starting December 28th to December 30th...a three days online project organised by Kylie Kenny. So far Kylie always has a fun mystery quilt to share with us.

Till then will write again about this, showing the progress on the first clue which will be out on December 28th.

See you soon.

Pot Holder Swaps

This pot holder swaps is being organised by Naomi Vela and some how I kind of got myself caught up and sewn a few pairs...one to a swapper friend, three for gifts and two for my own kitchen.

Thank you to Craftygemini.com to have a tutorial on this.

If you have the time, please go to the said website for more tutorials. It is fun!

10-Minute Table Runner

I managed to sew all the six pieces table runners in one night as gifts to my 6 sister-in-laws at our gathering recently. I learned this method through one of the JUQ members, Sherry Young Abrams. This is a really great and fast way to make as gifts for birthdays, house warming etc etc.

Mood: Very Happy!!!

On Line Project - Scraps Blocks Swap

This is another great way to use up all your scraps that you have in your keeping. All quilters must have scraps that is for sure. And this method of sewing of strip piecing added on randomly with the other fabrics will turnout fabulously and you will be amazed on how it will turn out at the end of the day.

The blocks are done and sent out internationally on October 23, 2012. I have to thank you Janni Pederson for organising this swap. It is a great fun and of course knowing new friends too.

On Line Project - Signature Blocks Swap

These are the last lot of signature blocks that I had to do for Worldwide Siggy Swap. Another great project that I have been enjoying myself. The last 26 pieces done and all sent out on October 23, 2012. All together 100 pieces had been done...and I am hoping to receive 100 pieces too from all over the world. Once received, will have to patched together (with a pattern in mind) and turned into either wall hanging or lap quilt. I should be able to get two lap quilts with these 100's...looking forward to this.

I must say thank you to Naomi Vela from Australia who has been busy organising this project. A very fun block to do especially the middle blocks.

On Line Project - Quilters' Half Squares Triangles

Now I am done with the Half Square Triangles for the 2nd round to all international swappers. It is quite nice how it turned out following the respective request on the colours. I used the range of fabrics  of Graphic design from Paintbrush Studios.  Before this I was quite afraid to do half square triangles but now no fear at all. I must thank you Anita Paterson Black for organising this on line project.

All had been sent out on October 23, 2012.

On line Group - Scraps Blocks Swap

Remember, I mentioned that I will come back once I have completed all the blocks to be sent out.

Yes! Now ready to be in their respective envelopes and they will all be sent out tomorrow...
