I am a fan of productivity aside from quilting. Want to sew more or make more quilts? Read on the 5 productivity hacks I have in this post to finding more time to sew.
I am a fan of Amazon.
I can scroll for hours and add things to my cart and sometime I ended up buying, but sometime not. Eitherway, I had fun. In this post, here are some fun and exciting deals to watch out for in the next few days while Amazon Prime Day is going on!
Here is an updated deal lists that I have selected that you don’t want to miss on!

I thought it would be a great challenge for me to do a pot holder a.k.a hot pads every single week of 2019. (but I am currently falling behind, maybe I’ll catch up but if not, it will just be a 52 weeks but not in a single year)
I am planning on having it displayed in my kitchen. They make great decor don’t they?
While I am at it, I am going to be sharing with you a simple tutorial on the process.
You can join in the challenge and make the same hot pads I make every week with the same design or any of your own choice.
Sometime a good simple patchwork is all you need to work on. Here is a simple patchwork baby quilt I made last weekend.
I have a fun quilting tip to share with you today.
Have you ever kept those leftover triangles hoping to use them someday in a scrappy quilt?
And then when it is all mixed up, you ended up throwing it away instead?
I have been there, done that.
Sometimes, these are leftover triangles from piecing long binding together using thee mitred method or sometimes just leftovers from the stitch and flip method.
Well, in this post I’ll share with you a little tip on how to just get those scraps out of the way and straight to making use of it.
Just a heads up for a special sale that is going on this whole week at one of my favourite quilting shop for their 16th Anniversary.

I love the shop for several reasons:
- Flat Rate Shipping! Even for international orders.
- They cut bundles with pinked edges. Little things that I love.
- They pack the fabrics in a beautifully packed plastic that is super easy to store as is.
- They have lots of free tutorial on Youtube

I may have to drop my promise not to buy more fabrics too. I am so tempted with all the beautiful bundles. Don’t ever trust me to be an accountable for not buying fabrics. Even I can’t hold myself accountable. I cave in so fast! LOL.

I am ready to quilt this medallion quilt, and I find myself compelled to write a post on the journey of making the quilt.
When I was making the quilt, I was out of my blogging phase. Instagram kind of took over.
So I didn’t even have an official blog post on the progress. Though it took quite a long time to piece this quilt together.
But I am glad at least I have micro-blogged about it on Instagram. At least I have a sense of the timing and the photos of the progress.
