Alphabet Zoo Patchwork

Many children love animals (mine certainly do!) so this would be an excellent way to get them to learn their ABCs! Imagine a quilt of alphabet animals! More 'I spy' sessions in the works... :) The pastel colors work for both boys & girls...

This Springs Creative fabric is only RM 40 per meter... Grab it while you can!

Stars! Another Cuddle Prints piece :)

I can't resist cute flannel :)

This is from the same Cuddle Prints line by Fabri-Quilt, a little more muted than the giraffes but still so adorable.

The price? RM 45 per meter only :)

Cuddle Prints - Giraffes!

We're on an animal kick right now :)

Fancy a flannel backing for your animal-themed quilts/blankets? This will do the trick!

Jungle friends - yardage too!

As mentioned, tadaaa!!! The matching jungle friends yardage for the panel... Of course, it's also great on its own or with matching solids...

Calypso by Ro Gregg - dragonflies!

I'm not generally a dragonfly fan, but this print is so beautiful! I may be tempted to take up several meters for myself! :)

Calypso by Ro Gregg for Paintbrush Studios... Only RM45 per meter.

Scrappy patchwork blanket

We haven't had much time to work on our scrap bins, but once in a while we'd work on one muslin square at a time. For this particular piece, we didn't have a specific scheme in mind, so it truly is randomly scrappy :)

The squares were finally pieced together with sashing & border, but the quilt top wasn't basted just yet. We had it on display at the shop while it was still a work in progress.

Last week, in walks a customer who took a fancy to the quilt top & asked for it straightaway. She wasn't keen on using batting though; she only wanted a flannel backing for some warmth. We were only too happy to oblige...

It's now all done, with moderate quilting... It came out to a good big size, 59'' x 67''. I hope the owners will enjoy using it :)

Flannel-backed baby blanket

Some folks like the various colourful & cute options quilt panels and fabrics have, but don't quite fancy the batting in quilts.

The solution? Easy! Flannel-backed blankets! You can still sandwich batting between the quilt top/panel and backing, but if you want something lighter & less bulky, this is one way to go :)

This one's taken, but we'd be more than happy to make more!

p/s. this would be a great option for 'blankies' :)

Snail Trails Baby Quilt - all done!

This order came with the request for a thicker-than-usual batting. Luckily we still had some, so we put it to good use.

The batting was a challenge to quilt, though! A couple of needles broke, so for the final border we went with hand quilting instead.

It's such a bright, colorful quilt, and the little girl it belongs to will be surrounded by happy vibes for sure :)

Floral striped tote bag

If you're looking for a sweet, simple tote, look no further! This one might just fit the bill!

Made with home-dec weight cotton (almost like cotton canvas) and lightly interfaced, this sweet beauty is very spacious thanks to its pleated body.

There is a small zippered pocket in front for keys or a phone. Everything else goes into the roomy interior, which is made from the same striped fabric as the bag top and handles. The top is open for easy access.

A painted wooden button adorn each side.

Its asking price? Only RM 79 :)

Elephant Parade Blue Gingham & Polkadots (in blue!)

If pink is not your thing, why not go for blue? This one matches the panel for the boys (or for girls who like blue) so why not make this a set? :)

RM 45 per meter as always....

Elephant Parade Gingham Checks & Polkdots (pink!!)

Remember the panels? These are the matching fabrics - the pink polkies on green as well as the checkered piece... Aren't they cute?

They're 45 only per meter :)

More Snail Trails!

These would make really cute kids' baju kurung or dresses... Cute snails on red or yellow, as well as fluttering butterflies on white...

All are RM 45 per meter... They'd obviously go very well with the Snails Trails panel :)
