This year i haven't had a lot of chance to get together with my sewing machine. Various personal reasons apart...the only thing that is keeping the needle in my hand these days are swaps. The mini quilt swaps mean i could easily juggle my other priorities with sewing. I began with the Home Sweet home Mini swap for which i made an embroidered mini quilt for my partner.<br />

My mini quilt with all the goodies that i sent my partner!<br />
<br />
The ease of the project along with the creativity encouraged me so much that i signed up for a few more swaps. So all i will be posting henceforth are my swap items. I really love these swaps on Instagram. What an absolutely lovely way to keep creating and make friends in turn!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am, at this moment feeling very smart. I have coined a new phrase for my infrequent quilting related activities. I will now call myself an 'Intermittent Quilter'. Other things like work, the kid and general stuff keeps popping up in my life regularly to dissuade me from hooking up with the machine. 2015 began with a resolution to sew something every week....you might notice i didn't give myself a very unattainable goal. The God of fate and resolutions didn't really like my decision. So i had loads of work coming in....which is good....the kid suddenly demanding a 'something interesting to eat' for every meal and social engagements popping up with alarming frequency. Well, all this justification for just one project in the past 2 months. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This isn't a quilt...it's a bedspread. I made it for my cousin who got married in February. </div>

Coincidence.....is what i call it when i read about the Oktoberfest announcement on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/457592357652181/">India Quilt Guild</a> on Facebook. It needs us to sew any kind of bag to participate in the challenge. I have just the thing that i finished last Sunday. A yoga mat cover that will go to a cousin so that she may go take her yoga classes.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">When you love to eat, anything related to food becomes fun.Me and my sister Shweta had a lovely time last weekend at a sushi making party at a hotel in Pune. Sushi is essentially seafood and rice rolled in a sheet of seaweed. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">We had a good time watching types of sushi being made. The chef made it look so simple. And it was simple....till it was time to cut the maki with a huge chef's knife. Some of us did get it right though...without accidents. All the foodies gathered there had a go at rolling their own Sushi....and we got to eat our own creations. I had the distinction of being the only vegetarian in the assemblage.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;"> This is the one that i loved the most however couldn't eat it.....California Maki.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It’s been a while since I posted anything on my blog. It has
been a fun filled summer vacation for us with little trips around the town to
places my kid loves, mangoes and more mangoes. We ate mangoes from breakfast
till post dinner. If I put on a little weight now all these mangoes would have
contributed to a noble cause. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The woods near my
place are much loved and frequented. We
went on frequent walks to see the peacocks and peahens wandering around the
woods. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Summer was also a flurry of birthdays and parties including
that of my princess. She turned 5 this year.
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now you know why I haven’t touched fabric and quilting for
the past 2 months. I have a couple of WIPs that I intend to finish now that the
school has begun. Hopefully I will do so soon.</div>

I had always wanted to make this quilt. It is so simple yet so appealing. One of my all time favorite tutorials from the <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/02/baby-life-quilt.html">Moda Bake Shop</a>. I feel this is going to be a baby quilt year for me if i don't get out of the habit of loving quick finishes.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The best thing that's happened this year is that things
are picking up at the India Modern Quilt Guild.
Now we have new office bearers and a Quilt giveaway already happening.
2013 sure looks like an exciting year for the IMQG. I only hope I will be able
to participate in every activity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
December last year went into a flurry of
weekend trips. My family loves these
little outings since it is difficult to coordinate everyone’s schedules for a
long trip. We went to a beach in December and the kiddo has a lot of fun. I am
thankful for a daughter who finds enjoyment in any given situation or place or
weather as long as she is well fed. A
couple of days back we went climbing a fort nearby and she loved it too. My
limbs are still protesting any movement but she is back to her hopping self. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
All
this is indeed taking a toll on my sewing time though. I do have some WIP’s but
not enough to share anytime soon. There’s this one that has been in the making
for a while as a baby quilt. This one’s a wonky squares block that I found the tutorial for at <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2012/01/guest-tutorial-from-kersten.html">Cluck Cluck Sew</a>. All i need now is to finish this quilt AND find a baby for it :). </div>

With the hustle and bustle of Diwali where i made a lot of stuff that i couldn't eat and went through the agony of watching people eat my stuff and pitying me.....i was caught up with a few family gatherings and engagements which lasted till last week. All through this i could only look at my fabric and my machine and sigh. I was then inspired by my neighbor and friend, whose duties include prodding and pushing me to quilt, to make a baby quilt. Here it is - the kiddo kindly obliged to hold it up...<br />

Things
are picking up at the India Modern Quilt Guild.
After the buddy challenge we are onto the IMQG Swap. The partners are
informed and everyone seems to be busy sewing. Everyone is being super
secretive and I just cannot wait to find out who is doing what for whom! I know
my partner so I have an idea what she would prefer and knowing her skills I
know I am going to get something very beautiful. I just cannot reveal what I have made for her
but trust me I am dying to! So here’s a sneak peak. </div>

I am also in the middle of a project that i am absolutely in love with. I generally prefer to work with solids more than prints. A few days back i saw this quilt called the <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/09/1930s-summer-perspective-quilt.html">1930's Summer perspective</a> at the Moda Bake shop. I loved it so much that i couldn't get it out of my head. Coincidentally, i had all the fabric i needed in my stash. So here's the quilt top ready to be sandwiched and quilted. The kiddo has claimed this one for her own and has helped me a lot while working on this quilt. She named it as 'The Rainbow Quilt'.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not so imaginative when it comes to quilting. I prefer making stuff that i like though i seldom copy any design as it is. Since i use everything that i make myself i do not have to deal with breaking any copyrights. Why am i telling you all this? A few days back i found a <a href="http://www.meamomblog.com/2011/06/mini-tutorial.html">this</a> tutorial from Cara for a lovely baby quilt which i absolutely fell in love with. I also happened to have a charm pack of Robert Kaufman that matched with that quilt. Lucky me! Here's a sneak peak. I will post more photos when the quilt is done! Meanwhile, i have to think of a name for this quilt. </div>

I recently went out for lunch with a friend of mine. With my maid still doing the disappearing act i didn't get a lot of time to make something for her. So i decided on a simple mug rug. She said she liked it......!!! :)<br />

It is that time of the year when the kid is well fed and in a good mood and the husband is too busy with work to bother about fabric scraps strewn across the house. I have 2 projects that are almost complete and i am participating in the <a href="http://www.handmadebyheidi.blogspot.in/">FNSI</a> again for that reason (sneaky, i know!). Will reveal my finish on Saturday!. Do take a look at what others are doing as well! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pat Sloan is one lady whom i admire. I have been following her work for ages now. So when i heard she is hosting the <a href="http://quiltinggallery.com/learning-center/beginners-quilt-along/">Beginner's Quilt Along</a> i was excited. The blocks would be all fairly easy to make and i am sure they will give ample practice to people who are new to piecing. I have my hands full at the moment so i am a couple of blocks behind however i hope to catch up over this weekend. Do take a look!</div>

When i renovated my home i had packed this little one away with my other quilting stuff. I thought i would hang it where i can see it now so that i remember to quilt a bit each day! So it will stay in my kitchen....that's the place where i am most of the day. I love the scraps that went into it and i have saved bits of all those fabrics to use again. The binding fabric is part of what i have used for the backing. It is what i picked up from my mom's stash when i went visiting her last. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I must be the last one to talk about the meet!. Facebook is buzzing with the news of the meet and the discussions about the wonderful time we had. What i liked personally was that feeling of oneness that only one single hobby brought into us. We just didn't feel like we didn't know each other. The bonding was instantaneous and wonderful! We were a bunch of girls out to have fun and we did have lots of it! The lovely Bernina machines, the yummy fabric, the giggling, chatting to glory without bothering whose listening to whom.......all this was so refreshing. And the icing on the cake was the bundle of Snuggles that i won! :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Modern Quilt Guild (MQG) with over 100 chapters across the globe makes its entry into India with an All India Meet at Pune from 20</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">th</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to 22</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">nd</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> April, 2012.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Modern quilting is a new and rapidly growing movement in the quilting world. A group of quilters applied their current tastes and points of view to this traditional craft and shared their work online. Their fresh approach and new designs attracted sewers and quilters and the modern quilting movement was born.</span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Modern quilting, like all art, changes, grows and adapts from quilter to quilter as they find their own voice. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Though Modern quilting has its roots in rebellion and the desire to do something different, its feet are firmly planted in the field of tradition. The MQG developed out of the thriving online community of modern quilters and their desire to start meeting in person. The founding guild was formed in Los Angeles in October of 2009. Through blogs and the Internet, word spread quickly of the fun they were having and soon guilds started popping up everywhere.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The India MQG was launched initially with just a Facebook page in Sep 2011 and has grown from 3 to 142 members in a short span of 8 months. The members are a diverse group of mostly women, young and old, experienced and novice, all bound by their common love for quilting and united in their struggles due to lack of quilting-specific tools and materials in a non-quilting country. The mission of the IMQG is to change all that. It aims to provide a platform for sharing ideas, skills, resources on quilt making, to encourage quilt making as an art form as well as a profession, to nurture India’s traditional quilting heritage and showcase it to the world and to give something back to society through the ‘Nimble fingers, Noble threads’ project.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The IMQG meet includes a formal session by the office bearers followed by 3 days of workshop and fun activities. There are training sessions for beginners as well as advanced quilters, show and tell sessions, challenges, etc. There are also exciting prizes on offer by Bernina and Fat Quarterly among others. The venue is : House of Laptops, 6&7 Tilak Road, Sadashiv Peth, Pune-30.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is so much activity happening around me that my mind is struggling to cope with all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are a few reasons to celebrate though - </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The IMQG's first ever meet in Pune will happen from April 20th to 22nd. I am super excited about it since it will benchmark the beginning of an exciting period for all the quilters in India (I don't see any male quilters in the group yet.......but i am hopeful! :)). When we started the Guild we didn't honestly have an idea that we would have more than a hundred members so soon!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. My home finally looks livable after a month of cement and sand and broken flooring. Trust me, renovating the house 'sounds' like a lovely idea. When it becomes reality....it is a nightmare. What with a spouse whose working hours start extending miraculously the day the workers start pulling up the flooring......and the kid chooses the same couple of weeks to fall ill.......well...you get the picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. This is something i look forward to every April....my birthday! Next Sunday! I have always had a great fascination for the day and i ensure that everyone around me is aware of my birthday :). Even my almost 4 year old daughter isn't half as excited as me about getting birthday presents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all, no time for quilting or even picking up the cutter or fabric. I intend to finish of Madhu's block for the <a href="http://indiamqg.blogspot.in/2012/02/imqg-block-party.html">IMQG block party</a> first as soon as i find the box with my quilting tools. Check out the block party details.....it is fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I sincerely hope people are wondering about my absence in the blog land. If not, well..... i will still give you an account of what i am up to. Since this year has begun the kiddo has caught cold so many times that her staple diet now consists of cold medications and cough syrups. On the home front.....the flooring of my home had for a while steadily started puffing. When i say puffing....i mean puffing. It feels like walking between mounds of floor. Like we do everything else....we thought for a while about how to tackle the problem. It was finally decided to bring in a contractor and get a professional opinion. We then had a string of contractors telling us that the flooring needed to be replaced. So we then decided to go tile hunting however the kiddo and DH again caught the cold virus and were down for a couple of days. So i am the only one left to think about the problem and to plan the next step. Whew!!! Now you know how busy i am. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had decided on completing one project a month hoping to make a slow dent in my WIP's. I failed to keep my vow for the moth of Feb which means i will have to finish 2 projects in March to catch up with my resolution. :) Do you do the same? I did manage to get something crafty done though. The kiddo's school is holding an arts and craft exhibition. Which means the parents make whatever is required and the kids are only expected to figure out what their parents have done. I made a veggie stall and happily Ira could recognize most of the veggies. </div>

I absolutely love purple. This purple hand loom fabric was sitting in my stash for around a couple of years. So was this charm pack. I had a sudden inspiration yesterday while i was doing other mundane stuff around the house and voila! here's the result of that inspiration. :) I can now proudly say that i can finish a project in a day. The DH liked the quilt, which was a first. He also asked me very sweetly when the inspiration would strike me again......which i think was a bit sarcastic. Regardless, i am happy and i have vowed to finish atleast one more WIP this week. That will perhaps make a tiny dent in my stack of WIP's. Fingers crossed! :)</div>
