more weekend sewing

ive been sewing and sewing.two nights back,i bought some floral fabric to make sheets for our bed.i came home straight away after that,sewed a sheet and cases for our pillows,washed and ironed it and dressed our bed before bed time.:-)

There is no saying what i end up doing when i really want something done:-)LOL..

i fell in love with the fabric at first sight..so love at first sight does exist..LOL..im living proof..:-)i thought i would show it you since its soooooo sweeeeeet..hoping that it may make you smile like it makes me:-)

And here are the flowers i managed to get done these three days.not much,but something:-)i specially love this red one,i lovvvvvvve it.(It was made from scraps from the bed clothes project.)

Oh isn't it sweeeeet?

gotta go back to do something.My hands are aching for some needle work;-)

be back soon.

lotsa love,

Some friends have asked me how i made these hexagon flowers.As i have no experience in quilting from before and as i have never seen a real quilt ever in my life,it doesnt feel right for me to give you quilting lessons LOL.not yet;-)so instead,i will show you some links with plenty of hexagonal goodness in them.

A little party dress..

This little party dress is one i made for my hubby's little niece.It's for a gold theme wedding party.I am not too confident playing with satin fabrics,and have all sorts of seamstress nightmares about them.this fabric is one of the most difficult satins i have worked with,but i must say that i am quite happy with the results.

i chose one of the easiest and quickest patterns for this dress.It was done pretty quickly.But it took me some time to make those flowers and put them on the dress.

And this picture here is a close up of the flowers.Ooooh arent they adorable..! :0)

The dress is all done and ready to go,though i think that i will end up working on it some more if i have it with me for even a bit longer,LOL :0)

Thats it for now.Thanx for stopping by :0)

till the next time,hugs

what i have accomplished in a month..

It's been a month since i started working on my first quilt.since the day i started,ive finished atleast one block every day.so today,when i counted (for the hundreth time this month,LOL),i had finished 30,a grannnnnnnnnnnd total of 30 flower blocks!!! :):)

Not too bad for a months work right..:)

Here is the whole stack.

these are the ons i finished most recently.

i think i have posted atleast one pic of each of my blocks.(i have repeated same fabric in some,maybe thats why it appears that i havent really posted all 30 of my flowers.)

While i was looking at them all taday,i realised that i hav almost one fourth of all the blocks in pink,though various shades.honestly,i had no idea.:)

Anyway,i'll keep working and posting my progress inshaAllaah.

till then lotsa love,

what i've been doing day and night

i've been making more and more blocks for my precious quilt.it really is an addiction.i can no longer sit still in one place if i was'nt working on my flower blocks,surrounded with bits of cloths,needles and threads..LOL..:-).

so far i have completed 25 blocks.but still i cant really decide on how i want to arrange them.not a problem,i still have some till i have to think about that..:-)

i arranged these blocks on my floor to take a picture.its pretty clear that a white background doest work for it,ryt?or is it just me?

i really couldnt figure it out,but i have this feeling that i have some colours missing!!

is there something missing or is it just me?

LOL:-)

well,thats it for now.right now im working on a shirt.i'll be back with some pics of it as soon as im done with it.

till then,hugs

more of my quilt blocks..

Here are my latest updates on my garden in the rainbow..

i've finished three blocks in the past two days.I love these fabrics,and the blue one is really special because its the first blue coloured fabric i have ever bought or used on any of my projects.really.:-)

my hubby is really thrilled too.i think it has something to do with a breath of freshness/something new/(most probably) something that is not pink sort of thing.no one can blame him,because he is surrounded with all things pink

and its all my fault.but its totally unintentional...LOL;-)

(and being the wonderful man he is,he tolerates it well:-)i love you huny!:-))

and here is the green block close up..i love it really really and i wanted you to see it close up too.but this photo doesnt do it justice.it looks way better in real..but i hope that you like it anyway.:-)

i have joined this great quilt along group..such nice ladies,so sweet and so motivating and sooooo much inspiration.they have really helped me and i dont even feel like a quilting newbie anymore!

i really owe them so much thanx..

thanx ladies..

you girls rock my world!

im off to make some pizza.

im hungry and feeling verrrrrrrrrrry much like pizza.;-)i've a wonderful pizza recipe and ill share it with you sometime soon insha allaah.the last time i tried,i was trying to get a decent shot of my pizza to post here,n i turned away to adjust my camera for a second and when i turned back,hubby had eaten it..:-)LOL..my dear sweeeeeet hubby:-):-)
