Fabric Love #6

I was after some stripey fabric for a baby boy quilt that I will be making once my exam is over.  Found this fat quarter bundle on Etsy which I thought was pretty delightful and cheerful for a baby's quilt.  I have in mind a relatively simple modern quilt design, here's hoping it will turn out the way I imagined it.

Here are some lovely stripe bundles from Etsy:
West wood acres (really nice stripe bundle)
My Fabric Addition (this where the stripe bundle came from)
Vintage Sheet Variety (reclaimed vintage bed sheets)

Happy Quilting!

Fabric Love #5

Fat Quarter bundle of Pure Elements solids designed by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics - the lovelies fabric I have ever come across thus far.  The fabric quality is amazing and the colors are just beautiful to look at.  Definitely worth the purchase.

Bits and Pieces

Apologies for the lack of news on the blog these past few weeks.  I have been busy burying my head deep into books instead of quilting.  I would have much preferred to be doing the latter but I also have a passion for Chinese Medicine.  It is coming up to exam time so quilting or anything remotely craftsie is out of the question.  However, I did managed to cut up some fabrics for the next quilt.  Half way through cutting the linen, I realized I didn't have enough for the entire quilt which meant that I had an excuse to do some online fabric shopping (YAY!)... well, with strong restraining power so that I don't stress out the piggy bank by only purchasing what I really really love - which is a lot if you wanted to know (LOL!).  I am sure some, if not many of you out there that would have the same issue as me.  Anyways, here is a preview of the fabric and colour palette I will be using for the next quilt.  In the meantime, if you are interested in following my ups and downs, ins and outs via pictures of my life of a part-time quilter, yogi, foodies and Chinese Med enthusiasts, you can follow me on Instagram.

Thank you for stopping by and happy quilting!

Progress

I have been on a snail pace at the moment with my quilting journey due to the demands of work and studies.  It has been hard finding the time to do some quilting but... Here are some photos of the progress since starting this project in February.

I figured that every little time I have, no matter how slow and long it takes to piece these together, the closer I am to having it finished.

I must say I am happy with the progress with no deadline attached to it

Thank you for stopping by and Happy quilting!

Happiness is...

A Few More Dots...

Nearly there with Fluery Dresden quilt, just a few more dots to applique and it'll be ready for hand quilting which I hope I'll get to do over the Easter break.

Google Reader to Bloglovin'

Google Reader is closing down so I was on a hunt for an alternative.  Bloglovin' was suggested over at Instagram and I am loving it though it is a hassle to key in all the names of your favourite blogs again... but better this way than to lose all your valuable favourite blogs.
