Camera Woes

It is so frustrating to have work that you can showcase on your blog but you are unable to take pictures because your camera refuses to cooperate! I am stitching the State Flower Quilt. I am seriously into this project and i am hoping to catch up with Vicki and her transfers soon. I do so want to put up the pictures of what i have done so far on my blog but the camera doesn't seem to like the idea. I guess i need to have it looked at soon. :(

Learning time!

What am i upto since the past few days? Roaming around the internet reading up on various tutorials on all aspects of quilting. I found a wonderful post on Sewmanyways on how to stitch half hexagons. I found another interesting tutorial on Circle Quilts on Crazy Mom Quilts. And the journey on the path of Quilting Knowledge continues.....

My first complete quilt

This is the floor rug that i made for my sister's house. I haven't quilted it since she said she liked it the way it is. She plans to use it to sit by the window with a book so i threw in a couple of cushion covers to match it. The blue matches the colour of her room too.

Nostalgic Finds.....

I recently came across a set of old napkins at my mothers house. I remember seeing this set since i was a kid. She embroidered these napkins but never really used them.

A Chequered Quilt

My husband is back from his trip and this weekend I finally got some time to get back to my sewing machine. My sister is getting married soon and I want to whip up a quilt that she could hang in her new home.

So here it is....a simple chequered quilt in two of my favourite colours – ochre yellow and coffee brown. I cut up the entire stash of felt before I realised that I am short of ochre yellow. Now I need a trip to the store (sigh!). I also bought some red felt because I liked the combination that the 3 colours made. I am just not sure whether I would use it for the appliqué or for just the borders. I am also not sure what fabric I would use for the backing. I would worry about it once I master joining the rows perfectly though.
