Journey of the Vintage Threads

Hoorrayy....I got the vintage threads today!!
I bought cool and colorful vintage wood thread spools from 'EitherOrFinds' Kris's shop on Etsy.
and not only threads I get, but FRIENDSHIP!
Glad to found generous, kind and nice people on Etsy :) Kris wrote our story on her blog.

It's amazing to imagine that they had traveled so far around the globe!

I plan to use the thread for quilting the top of my first 'I-Spy' quilt.

A Red Chrismasy Table Runner - my latest project :)

Just finished this morning after a whole month on and off working on it :)

Handquilted for the loop-d-loop lines at the top and machine quilted with simple organic lines for the rest.

Made from local red thick cotton with beautiful flowers print on it and local cream unbleached cotton.

The backing is also made from the same unbleached cotton.

Still in this project I was exploring how quilting polyester batting with organic lines could create a gorgeous texture on a quilt.

I used polyester batting to come up with unique and slightly different beauty in comparison if using cotton batting.

Well...this is my first christmas project for this year :)

How about yours?

Shoulder Bags for Autumn Season

An Orange Autumn flowers bags.....

This made from Denim...with cute little animal prints..
This is I love most...because I love RED :)
Happy weekend...all :)

for the Love of Pouches...

Love making pouches lately....
These are made from local cotton with accent from Moda Mill House Inn Stripes Bun.
and...these are the latest pouches...
actually it's made from kitchen towel, good thick cotton.
I thought it would be too pretty as a towel, so...I changed it into a pleated zipper pouch :)

and this one is not made from kitchen towel fabric...but Bali batik cotton, a local Indonesian beautiful batik. Shade of blue....

You can see my other pouches at my etsy shop.

Waterproof fabric

This is the first time I 'play' to make something with waterproof fabric.
I bought the fabric online from a Korean fabric shop on Etsy.

When I first touched it, I was surprised to the quality of it. So soft, almost similar with real cotton. Before I received it, I thought it would be like plastic fabric that we often used for kids raincoat, but it was not.
So .... finally I made a tote and a pouch to accompany me to swimming pool or beach.

My stuff would not get wet with this tote :)

Ah, I just love my new tote!

I also list one to my shop here.

'Pop Up' Quilt - An Entry for Blogger's Quilt Festival :: Spring 2011

I made this quilt almost 1,5 years ago. It made of hand dyed cotton fabric that I didn't like at first (but don't want to throw away), so I decided to cut it in small pieces, then bleached them in trying to make varieties scheme color of blues.`Such an experiment...but it turned out good. I had blue fabrics in many hues.

Most people always use cotton batting for their quilt. Since it's very difficult to find cotton batting in my country so I tried to use whatever available, in this case polyester batting. I also use my favorite cream unbleached cotton (similar with muslin).

It's such a journey to me for exploring quilting with polyester batting including a willingness to think out of the box.

I chose natural straight lines (organic lines) to quilt this piece.

The orange yellow binding is an accent color for the quilt.

It is pleasing to see how the scattered squares could add a unique design element -looks 'pop out'- squares and making you just want to touch it!

That's why I called this wall hanging 'Pop Up' :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Now, I'm off to look at all these other amazing quilts on the Blogger's Festival :: Spring 2011 here.
