A Little Jog

Jogging Park Summarecon
Taken from my mobile phone Polytron Quadra HD W8470
 
 
I have been doing jog for a couple of days. For all the busy things me and my hubby every day, we think doing some jogs, 5-10 laps would be so important. In our mid age, doing some sport is so meaningful. We have a place to jog everyday close to my kids school.
Fifteen minutes every morning is enough to do a little walk. This could release a little stress in our mind. LOL.

Lets continue our healthy life.
And don't forget to keep your passion ON.
 
Love Quilting as always,

Multipurpose Pouch from Story Quilt

Dear Quilters,

Its raining again this morning. I wish I could back to sleep and back to my cold pillow :) But I had to get up and run my daily routine as a mother of 3 amazing kids. Early morning has to take my 2 kids to school. Then take care for the smallest one. After everything done I'll back to my quilt.
 
My current project is a pouch. I saw a Japanese blog. It was an awesome blog. The blog name is Story Quilt. I learned so much from there. How to quilt without using a hoop, how to make a nice pouch and bag, and so much more. Every body can make a bag or a pouch but in correctly there are not many.
 
I try to make one from those website. But I prefer using my local fabrics instead of Japanese fabrics. In Indonesia Japanese fabrics are so expensive. I make a flower applique at the front of the multipurpose pouch. The size of background pieces are 2,5x2,5inch. Randomly color and motif. Otherwise you could make this from your stash. That's why there so many stash boxes I have :)
 
 
Assembly the flower applique
 
 


After finish quilt the background and the applique. Stitch the two sides together and make an oval shape. Honestly, It's a hard effort to make the bottom of this pouch. We need so much help from our pins. Use as many pins you have to make it. I put a bias to cover it. 
 
Then I make the handle
 
 I put some accessories on the back.
 
assembly the handle

Finally, I finish the project. it's a cute pouch. I know it is not as pretty as the story quilt made. But this is quite enough good for the first time, I guess.
 
Ok, have to pick up the kids.  
 
Enjoy the day, Quilters...

Lunch Bag for my Daughter

It has been months my daughter asked me to make a pinky lunch bag for her. I have keep saying busy and busy. Then finally I make a new quilted lunch bag for her. Well..she's so happy when she sees it.  She's showing the bag to her school friends. Of course they're so jealous and want to have it. Then she said, "Sure..you could just order from my mom. She's good to make this.."
Good girl...
One of a thousand good things from patchwork and quilt. You can make for your love one.
 
Keep up a good work, Quilter..

the watercolor Quilt

Dear Quilters,

This is one from some... of my UFO. the project's name is watercolor. I studied the lesson from my Quilt teacher, Nisa Hariadi. This was a little bit messy project, it was maked my room messy :)

The watercolor Quilt technique uses 2 inch squares of busy, small to medium scale fabrics in a variety of light, medium and dark colors.
If you had so many stash fabrics, the watercolor Quilt will solve your stash fabrics problem :))
rearrange the color of the pieces
 
all the pieces has been sewed (what a wonderful and tired job :))
 
 
Lets we start the quilting. Welcome hand suffer!!! LOL
 
Having a great day Quilters....
