Quilt Labels

Dear Quilter,

Today I am trying to design a label for my Quilts product. I am looking for a logo from Google. There are so many unique and nice logo for quilts. I Like all the design labels. Make me confused. But I found two simple labels. I have save and editing this and that...

These are the labels... 

Alternative 1

 

 

Alternative 2

 

 

I prefer alternative 1 but there are three kinds of colors, the printing price is more expensive the alternative 2. For 2,5cm height and 1 roll around 750 thousand rupiahs approximately USD.75. Its printed on fabrics.

 

I decided to choose alternative 2. I love the font design. and the cute sewing machine off course.

 

Back to quilt..

A Little Jog

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.

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...
