Cushion Covers

They looked familiar? In my earlier post I mentioned that I had done the same design in a different colour scheme. A client requested this pair to be made using earth coloured combination. Here are the covers - hand appliqued and machine quilted (FMQ).

Hand Applique Cushion Covers

Hi. Made this cushion cover using vibrant orange colours, for a change. Just to experiment and see the end result. I like the combination. Very bright and fresh. The motifs are hand appliqued to the background fabric. I finished it off with free motion quilting. I made two pieces, in case someone needs a pair.




I recently custom made 2 pieces for a client but using a different colour scheme. I will post the pictures later.

Hand Applique Cushion Covers

I just love to see beautiful cushion covers especially the hand appliqued ones. Over the past two years, I have passed down some skills to a few people who share the same interest with me. These cushion tops were hand appliqued by my nephew's wife. I am quite happy with her work, but I know she can be better. I am definitely very serious about quality. Especially for custom made orders, we strive to produce great quality work. There were times when we had to re-work on some projects. But at the end of the day, the efforts were worth it. Quality does matter, in every sense. When a customer is happy, she will return for more.

Coming back, next, I machine quilted these tops using FMQ, my assistant did the other two. I was very satisfied with the result. Nowadays I could do FMQ without hesitation. Some simple, wise words from my assistant completely changed the way I did FMQ. Thank you for that MI. But it is really important to keep practicing, and to remember how to do it. I need to practice more to consistently get that nice curve or swirl. And also, don't be lazy.

Cushion covers anyone?

Hand Applique Baby Quilt

I made baby quilt again! It is commissioned by a mom-to-be, Pn. S. It measures 26" x 37" just to fit the baby cot.

This is the machine quilting part - quilt in the ditch. The quilting table is really a great help! Quilting around the applique motifs are done by hand.



For its backing, I use flannel for extra warmth. Lovely name isn't it? Good choice and a really sweet quilt for her first born.


Ladies, at the shop, we provide lessons on how to assemble this type of quilt in 4 to 5 sessions. For a quilt that measures 36" x 43" maximum, the cost to learn including materials is between RM300 to RM400 depending on the fabrics selection and finishing. We will even teach you how to use the sewing machine!

How nice if more babies out there can have a quilt with his/her name on it!
