I have been hopping around and found that many bloggers are off to Sewing Summit soon.. Its great to see so many travelling inspiration at Travel Handmade Flickr Group too.

I too will be travelling tomorrow..but not to Sewing Summit, Alas..but I am travelling back to my Mum in Malaysia! Fun eitherway..

I was greatly inspired by all the handmade travelling things I see around.. but I don’t have a sewing machine to do any last minute sewing! I really wish I could just sew up a passport holder.. Will I have the time to handsew it tonight? Yikes.. probably no.. but who knows…

So I can’t show you much now..I am just doing a little prep for my on the go project : my EPPs… so that is currently my W.I.P.

Included there are some paper piecing project I plan to link up on the 30th November over at the Travelling PicStitch hosted by Quokka Quilt.

And here are the full fabric choice for my Travelling PicStitch. The photo was taken at Floriade 2012, Canberra. (Its spring over here down under and Floriade is held in Canberra every year- so this is our annual activity for sure)

And I also reorganized my sewing space. So I guess I can show you where I sew..

And I organized my scrap stash by colour too..

Well I really hope my sewing machine would be ready once we are back in Canberra. Till then, I am off to have fun on my travel!

BTW, If you have a minute, I’d love if you could fill this poll too! You can tick more than one… I love to know what you like!Thank You!!!

XOXO,

Since my machine is in service, I guess I had to go ahead and sew by hand my challenge to sew what I have pinned on my Pinterest Board Pin It Sew It..

I have been meaning to make this cute house ornament / pin cushion like forever.. There is a tutorial for this over at Retro-Mama. So go ahead make one,or two.. or more.. they are kind of addictive.. I bet I would have made more if I have a sewing machine..I’m a bit rusty already with my hand sewing..so I stopped at one. But they turn out cute.. I love it!

It was also just the perfect project..as I will be back home in Malaysia for a holiday. (I still call my Mum’s home as the real “home”)

I will try EPP over the weekend, but now I am reorganizing my stash and my sewing corner..Will be sharing soon..

Linking up to Pin It Sew It over at PileOfabric.

Also linking to Sew Darn Crafty and Positively Splendid Saturday 7.

Well, one of the reason I don’t wanna start any big project this week is because I have this to get done!

I wanna finish quilting this.. It is almost done except that it has quite a large border which got me thinking how am I to quilt it?with pebbles too? You can see below in my machine – the white plain border..

I better start thinking and get moving on this.. I do hope to get it done soon..I don’t wanna quilt other quilt top yet until I finish this. And I wish I could finish it by 11th October.

Well, after quite a lot of finish last September, I’d slow down this October as we will be travelling back to Malaysia for a 3 week holiday!! Yeay.. I miss home so much.

Today I am linking up to W.I.P Wednesday at Freshly Pieced. Today is hosted by Debbie from A Quilter’s Table.

By the way, chance to enter my little giveaway is still on here!

 

Finally I am done with my Jack Attack quilt top! If you want to make one, come and join.. Great tutorial here at Lily’s Quilt.

Guess what?.. it’s my biggest quilt so far (well not exactly done yet -but quilt top is done..LOL). This is my third quilt top finished ever since I learned how to quilt…

so I am feeling pretty good.. ehem.. please pardon me 😛

My Jack Attack quilt top measures 68 x 95″

Not such a good photo – it is too big for our little apartment floor.. I’ll definitely will be taking it outdoor once it is quilted and bound.

Another thing to share… Lately I have been wasting a lot of thread as I have not used the chain piecing method for this Jack.. it requires more thinking and placing before you can just sew it up..

…and it just so happen I found this trick here user “spider” to save threads!.. So I put my little spidy to use. But instead of using scraps, I use my Scrap Vomit 2.5″ squares. Which means I am piecing two quilt top at the same time..It totally saves a ton of thread and no more mess with threads lying around the carpet floor too! Such a great method..

Well yesterday I said I want to share my modern baby quilt today, well its done, but I wanna take better photo. So I’ll do that first and do another post okay..

Till then, Have a great week ahead! It’s Labour Day on Monday here in Australia – so it’s a long weekend.. but it felt short – yikes today is already the last day of September!
