Solstice Stars Series :Two Colors Star.


This is the last block of Solstice Stars Series from Fresh Lemon. "Two Colors Star" block is simple and easy to make, suitable for beginners.. Tutorial, here.


Don't know the idea for the top quilt yet. I'll wait for the next direction from Fresh Lemon blog, or maybe I can make a table runner or wall hanging.. I better set aside them for a while, until I find the right one.

Have a good Friday and a nice weekend, everyone!

Heart on a Plate

Can't finish my table runner on time makes me mad (..lol) , but making a little red pincushion suddenly turns me happy again.. A minute work can change our feeling.. try to make our life lighter, instead of making excuses ;))


My heart is warm, a feeling so sweet and special too.
My heart now sings a song of love, as happiness began to fill my day.

Solstice Stars Series : Star of Mystery

Making this block with paper piecing method is really fun, specially with great tutorial from Fresh Lemon. This block is 4th quilt along block from Solstice Stars Series. Find tutorial here.

I bought a new fabric a couple days ago, I used it in the middle of this block. YELLOW is really a fresh color.. I used BLUE and RED too..
Red means energy, vitality, action, courage etc. This is what I need from last week weakness :)


I start a new knitting project, I will make a hat.. RED Hat.. maybe I will give it to a friend who has a birthday on March or other months to come... I certainly will keep it as a gift ;)


Note: 
Today, Whitney Houston passed away at 48.. Rest in peace a great diva.... "I Will Always Love You".

Twister; a gift for a friend.

My mom sent me some fabrics and asked me to make a baby quilt.  A friend of ours will give birth on this February. We don't know yet, whether the baby is a boy or a girl because Ultrasound equipment is not available there, she lived in a small village in the mountain away from the central hospital.  
But we decided to make it in pink colors. If the baby born is a boy, my mom already has a baby quilt in blue ;
I used my Lil' Twister tool again. But it is difference from my first twister project, the twister block is in the center now.
I sent this Twister top to my mom this afternoon, we need another border and my mom will do it and of course she will do the finishing too... My mom is an expert and she works very fast... I'm proud of her :))

Hope our friend will love this little gift and wish the process of her giving birth will go smoothly.

Finished Project: Sue Sunbonnet in Fashion Style

We replaced our Sampler Project with a new one, but we still have our piecing class. We just changed a place to another side of  the shop's wall.

I am very pleased to see my applique project finally hung on the shop. The shop looks more brighten with Sue in fashion style on the wall :)


And my friend's projects are nearly finish too. I hope soon I can take the pictures of their work. They always make a beautiful work in every new project, can't wait to see it.
