乐趣无熊的苏女孩。ADORABLE LITTLE SUE QUILT

Finally 把乐趣无熊的苏女孩被完成了。是加藤礼子的Sue & Billy Pattern Book.On November 2011,开启做applique.
But cant complete the applique due to had something on.
This year of 2012 middle of February, i began on the applique again.. and search for the fabric on the sashing and borders. I found the dark brown fabric from  famous designer Yako Saito .
Match with the soft green  fabric from RJR. To make a quilt is not a easy job. The most stressful part is sitting down on the floor for basting. each time basting, i will be occur bad ache. 
Noted tat from Emma, tagging gun is very useful for basting. So i bought two gun from Emma.
I use the tagging gun on the quilt, wow , is really good. I complete the basting in an hour and i dunt feel any back ache. Here i really appreciate and many thanks to Emma for her sharing experience on the tagging gun.





The most happier is this is my first try on free motion quilting as from the past i had did the quilting on walking foot. And i found that free motion quilting is really save a lot of time on quilting.

Finally completed on the 4th of April 2012. Will be send out to Singapore next week. Miss it lo.^^

MY QUILT AND PATCHWORK HISTORY

                    Quilts and patchwork have been part of my adult life for almost 13 years.
    This piece of King size quilt was my first project in the year of 1998. Although it was torn but i still wanted to keep it . Because of my effort , hardwork and ( money spend) and as well as my memory. How did i begin to build up the interest on it? When the early day of my learning, i knew nothing about sewing and no sewing machine. I was inspired by a story about Quilt and patchwork on the Sin Chew Metro Edition. That was the day i started to take up package learning which i realize and so called it is an expensive hobby. And today, it really turn me addicted into it.


 The making of quilts does not require and special skills, just a general knowledge of sewing and the desire to try it. If you can sew a button or mend a hem, you can make a quilt with just a few basic of tools,a small amount of fabric and a little time. You can create your own piece of comforter. Quilt making really gives me a wonderful opportunity to experiment with color, design and texture. Let your imagination guide you in choosing your fabrics and projects. Don't worry about mistakes - they add to the charms of the finished projects.
