Welcome to Day 9 of See you In September blog hop. First I wanted to thank the master mind behind these wonderful blog hops, Madm Samm and our amazing cheerleader Shari for all the encouragement throughout the Summer :). Boy! The Summer just flew away. I had only done one major quilt in the summer but managed to cook up 3 projects to show you today. First up is "Rainbow Skirt" using RBD small gingham. My daughter loves rainbow and she choose these color order. I used 2.5" strips to make this skirt and all together 3 Jelly Rolls. Here is the skirt I made: I have been wanting to sew with knit fabrics for quite some time. I wouldn't say I have mastered it yet. But its at a good point. You can really see the details but I added 2 front pockets and one back pockets too. This is a first for me. Never sewn a pant before.

I hope its true. I am back to sewing after a very long time. This summer has been really busy with kids and my little shop :). Even though I didn't get to sew much, cutting fabrics for the shop was fun. Is it too early for Christmas , I just couldn't resist this adorable fabric collection by Riley Blake Designs. And  here is a link to my tutorial to make a cute Evergree Quilted Pillow Sham with Ruffles :). Yes, I used my Ruffler foot for the first time and it was lot of fun. More ruffles in the future ;). Evergreen Quilted Pillow Sham As you might have guessed this has been claimed by my daughter and she wants me to make one more. I got to quilt on my home machine after a very long time. I broke 2 needles in 1 hour :(. But the quilting itself was lot of fun. This is a tad bigger for my pillow form. Pillow Back is cuter than the front ;) I hope this was a good eye candy. Happy Quilting! Hema (a.k.a Malini)

Hello Everyone, sorry for the long break from sewing/quilting project updates. I am back with my sojo( sewing mojo). I have been literally sewing non-stop since Friday night. Here is the outcome: RBD Splendor Fabric Collection by Lila Tueller Splendor Garden Quilt - 80/90 x 77 inches  A free tutorial available on Riley Blake Designs Cutting Corners College website, click here . Even though I got hardly any sleep over the weekend, it feels refreshing to get sew much sewing done ;). I think I sewed more hours this last week compared to the sewing I did in last 6 months. I hope I am coming out of the non-sewing rut I have been for quite sometime now. More closeup pictures: Flower block# 1 Pieced Flower block - Block#2 Pieced Kites - My favorites This is the second largest quilt I ever made, almost a queen 80/90 x 77 inches. I am planning to quilt this on the long arm. But I have never rented longarm for more than 3 hours at a time. This one is looking like...

Sorry to just keep posting shop updates. I promised I will get more sewing/quilting done in the next coming week and share the progress with you. I am really excited about another fabric collection by Art Gallery fabrics. Its Sara Lawson's Jungle Ave fabric collection for AGF Limited edition.  I just ordered these this morning. I can't wait for it to arrive. My daughter is pretty excited about these two fabrics: Here is the entire collection: Jungle Ave Fabric Collection by Sara Lawson - Limited Edition I have also ordered some Voile and Knits(from a different collection). I am excited and hopeful that I will get back my sewing/quilting mojo. Its become like the GYM thing, that I am not able to get any sewing done these days :). I am off for the summer, hopefully I can squeeze sewing/quilting back into my schedule. Happy Quilting! Hema (a.k.a Malini)
