Three Pincushions and A Dream


I made these 3 pincushions for the lovely Nurul. They are simple patched pincushions in 3 different themes. I had to include those fabulous fabric with writing I bought from Ayumi , obviously very inspired by her work :)

They are all of different sizes as I totally winged the measurements. The themes are Black and White Wonky Love, Bright Retro Sewing and Kawaii Japanese Matryoshka in Linen. I hope she likes it :)

And that dream?
I dream of a quilt. Yes, I'm itching to make one, and I want to make a picnic quilt. I want to spread that quilt when we go for a breakfast picnic at Putrajaya lake near the Equestrian Park. Oh dare I launch into such a big project?

Which reminds me I have a few more pending custom orders. I promise I'll finish it asap before end of April. And I'm taking a break from accepting custom orders this month to focus on some ready made items in the planning.

Till later, wish me luck as I gather some courage to attempt that quilt! :)

Take care lovely peeps and *hugs*!

  6. Go for the quilt ... !!! and go for that picnic ... sure nak piknik pun tak senang orang ramai nanti datang hampar kain batik atau surat khabar depa dekat quilt you .. sbb nak tengok dekat ... atau kalau yang dengki nanti purak2 jatuhkan jem atas quilt you ....

    hampeh kan ...?

  8. Grand pincushions, whoever ordered those is going to love them.

    As for a quilt, I say go for it girl! Why not? There is no saying you need to finish it in a weeks time, or even a month. Just start, and when you finish you'll take it on that picnic...and if you finish in winter you can always picnic indoors!
