The Quilt That Is Yet To Be Finished

Now that I am quilting as my hobby, I realised that it is very normal to have unfinished quilts lying around for months (or even years!). I have one at the moment. A baby quilt also started when I was pregnant.

The quilt top was made when we still did not know the gender of the baby, hence some reds and pinks there lol. It's a scrappy quilt I made. I have quilted it but until today I have not found the motivation to sew the binding :P

That does not stop me from putting the baby on top of it to see how it look sin pictures lol...Erfan was around 3 months old here :

I think the quilt is SO pretty! I really need to find the time to bind it but for now it is what it is :P

This pic of the baby looking rather unhappy perhaps should push me!

Another Quilt I Made For The Baby

This is the second quilt I made for Baby Erfan, and this time I was on a roll! :D

I mean, I was so eager to try the real deal - piecing the patchwork, free motion quilting & the works. I felt like I've grown a lot as a quilter after this project.

I used a Lilly & Will layer cake for this quilt. I sashed it using white Kona cotton. For the backing I used a soft polkadots by Robyn Pandolph from my stash, while the binding is from an older Laura Gunn's collection. I love the soft baby'ish hue of green, cream & chocolate in this quilt! It is a bigger quilt of crib size.

This quilt will forever be in my family. As I mentioned in the previous posts, it tells a story of how I was having contractions 5 minutes apart when I was hand binding it lol...

And now that the baby is here, this sweet quilt has been in so many snapshots of my lil bubba....I still cannot get over how precious he is and how lucky we are to have him in our lives :)

Above are his newborn pics, the little boy with a thousand expressions lol...

And this is him at 6 months, already rolling over...that smile is just so contagious!

Till next post, have a blessed day my friends! *hugs*

Sewing For Baby + Comments Back To Blogger

Hi!

First and foremost, I have removed the Disqus commenting system and switched back to Blogger. When I installed Disqus, my main intention was to get that threading comments where I can reply to each comment directly instead of having to use @yourname for every reply. Now that Blogger has (finally) enable that I switched. Well, guess what, removing Disqus just made my blog go crazy where the previous post now have 47 comments! Somehow it has pulled comments from some of my older posts and dumped it in the first post. Other than that, and some duplicate comments in older posts, I pretty much sync-ed all comments and all I want to do is move on. Shall we? :)

Okay, just wanna record here some non-quilts items I sewed for baby Erfan when pregnant with him. I did not get to sew for a newborn with my girls as I only started sewing when Hanan was 2 years old so this time it was fun for me.

First up, the Kimono shirt.

This is one tiny, tiny shirt. And Erfan only got to wear it once during a hospital visit. He was still jaundiced here thus the frail, yellowish tinged on his skin.

Next, I made this Poofy Pants for him :

He wore it a few times, and it is the cutest newborn pants! Here we caught Erfan with his first smile! :)

And I also made this adorable bubble romper for my bean :

I used a pattern from Puperita on Etsy. I loved the roomy shape and just sewing a romper made me happy! :)

Now that Erfan is 6 months old, I so want to sew some clothing for him. Perhaps a buttoned up shirt or simple boy tunic or even a cute pants. Sewing for boys is something new for me but I know I can have fun with this new adventure. 

Till then, thanks for dropping by and try out the new Blogger comment ya? Let me know if you're having problems commenting. Thanks! :)
