Quilts,quilts,quilts

I am so passionate about sewing quilts...and since i like to keep things interesting in my crafty studio i will always have a few on going projects working all at the same time.

Here is another scrappy quilt i managed to put together ...

I cut 90 pieces of 4.5 inch square of scraps in multi - color with purple hues in my mind all the time..I use this 4.5 inch square ruler brand Sew Easy bought at Spotlight recently..and a 3 inch  x 18 inch ruler bought at LSN brand Omnigrid...and the cutting session past  like the breeze....

Equally presentable on the reverse side too..

And a dimple pillow to complete the set

Love the scrumpy look though....More of these style quilts coming up soon..talking about scrap busting...what a blast...The color is so loud and busy,but i love it..!

It is saturday again

As usual i am bound for the pasar tani...and appreciating Allah's natural gifts..the leaping greenly leaves, the trees,the birds and the blue clouds..and if you have eyes,the whole existence is a joy.
So,rest assured that you do not need to burnt your wallet to be happy..And look at these lovely baskets that i have been working on..they are progressing well..Two baskets are almost done and that leaves just one more huge basket to complete the task..

I pray for another great day..Thank you Allah...

A pretty stack

Quilted baskets for baby goodies

3 baskets were brought in last thursday..These are new baskets to accommodate baby things and customer request for quilted cover ( quilted inside and outside) which can be casually removed for washing and likewise easily slip in again ..The fabrics were provided by customer and these are the second set of baskets after her first order  as at http://nykolett.blogspot.com/2014/07/galore-of-baskets-for-newborn.html#comment-form.

And here are the 3 baskets..

And the fabric combo:

The animal print fabric will be on the exterior while the stripes will be on the inside'.

So i started working on the first basket which is the smallest.I am trying to give the traditional ruffles/frills a rest and try something new.Those little dresdens which i have been doodling during my lazy hours have somehow put on my thinking cap..I am looking into possibilities of making sort of dresden frills...if i refer them as"frills"too.

And this is how i envision  it will turn out to be...

These dresden frills are easy to make but needs a lot of time to put together..but i nevertheless love making them.So i better hurry up and not waste much time as i have promised to get all baskets done by month end.Be sure to drop by and see the transformation of all 3 baskets..

Wordless Wednesday...90 inch x 90 inch c/w 4 pillow covers
