Cushion Cover for A Friend

Cushion cover again? Yes but what can we say. And we love making cushion covers. They are fast to sew and the end results are very satisfying. This also gave us the opportunity to create new design that suits the recipient's personality.

This cushion cover was requested by a regular client - a gift for a friend. Machine appliqued and machine quilted (FMQ). Enjoy it Angie!

House Warming Gifts

A client requested for four pieces of cushion covers as gift for her son and family who will be moving into their new home next month. Here they are all done up ready for the event. The motifs are machine appliqued. Quilted with free motion.

A King Size Quilt

Hi. It has a while since my last post. I was a bit busy and I tend to procastinate my blog updating. Now that the quilting frame is at home, I would sometimes return home early to continue with quilting.

My latest big project was this machine appliqued king size quilt that my team and I started some months ago. The owner had been asking about the quilt a few times! The blocks were individually machine appliqued. This process was fun but when it comes to quilting the whole quilt, well, I have to admit it was not as fun. But I somehow managed to do it.

This is the quilt before it was quilted.

The quilt top, the batting and backing are already rolled onto its respective roller and ready to go.

I spent a few days thinking and planning on how to quilt it. It is better to take it slow. To tell you the truth, to quilt an applique quilt using this quilting frame is not as easy as I thought. I had to do it section by section. It was a real challenge. I think over time it should be much easier. I will consult the supplier on this matter. There could be a better way. By the way, for anyone who is interested in getting this quilting frame can contact me.

And here is the quilt after quilting. It took me almost 2 weeks to completely quilting this piece. I celebrated the day I finished it! I did stippling from edge to edge, but section by section as I have to change threads. Right now, I can only do edge to edge quilting with a few patterns like stippling, curls, small flowers, and circles (Pardon me,i really don't know the right terminologies)

Dear quilters, I welcome suggestions and ideas on how to work with this frame. I mean, how do we do border quilting and block quilting. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Pillow Covers for Tihani

Hello again. Today's post is about pillow covers (again). Well, one of my customers who was expecting came to the shop with her elder sister (since she is about to deliver anytime, someone needs to be with her in case of emergency!). Her sister ended up requesting us to make four pillow cases for her little princess, Hani. She chose the borders and the background fabrics. The rest, she said, I leave them to you to decide.

So we matched the applique fabrics against the borders. We used different fonts for the name as she wanted. And here they are. Three of the four were machine quilted (FMQ using different patterns). The last one was hand quilted.

We will be conducting classes on free motion quilting soon. Please get in touch with us for the details. Trust me, if i can do it, you also can do it. Now Everyone Can FMQ!
