NOTE : I no longer promote Craftsy/Bluprint as I used to due to the way the subscription is currently being carried out. I had the issue of cancelling my subscription when the company changed hand and I find that cancelling through calls is inconvenient. However, I do still stand behind these classes I promote and if you are subscribed, you can surely check these classes I recommend on the platform. If you are looking for another online platform to learn craft such as quilting, do check out CreativeBug. It is much cheaper in subscription (subscribe now 3 months for only $5). Thank you.

3 easy free motion quilting design to finish a quilt

Whether that is just to quilt by stitching in the ditch, to stitch straight lines or even free motion quilting it. Or hand quilting it (which I believe will take even longer).

In the end, it will depend mostly on two factors.

One, the final outcome.

Whether you want it densely quilted, the overall fluffiness of the quilt, the look you are targetting for etc.

Two, the time it will take to complete the quilting.

Time will vary for different people depending on their capabilities. However, I do believe that with enough practice and motivation, one can master all type of design motif easily.

Though, they’ll still have to think about the time for some quilting designs are denser and requires a longer time to get it done.

W.I.P : Scrappy Trip Around the World Quilt

2 Comments

Just popping in with another work in progress: The Scrappy Trip Around the World Quilt

This was long due as it is a commision quilt, but whenever I do make commission quilt, I tend to procrastinate a lot. Not sure why.

I guess the scary part where you kind of worry that it might not match the expectation, or probably the restriction of the design or colors.

But I am braving through, hopefully, the owner will love it once it’s done.

Quilting on a budget: Vintage Sheet backing Quilt

Are you starting to notice how much you’re spending on your quilting hobby? Or are you currently trying to learn how to quilt but have a limited budget?

Do you know that quilting doesn’t have to be so expensive?

Well, at least there are options I would say.

Of course, you can go all out and buy all the best things out there for your quilting craft, but you’ll soon find out that it can be quite addictive and costly to keep this hobby.

In this post, I’ll share 8 ways to make quilting work on a budget.

I started quilting when I was a graduate student, and I have tried lots of ways to keep the spending to a minimum. Which involves lots of thrifting and yard-sale hunting and just winging it with whatever I have in hand.

Patchwork Barn Sampler Quilt Progress

7 Comments

I have a couple of projects going on at the moment. None of them is really at the finish end, but I am really enjoying the process and jumping from one project to another.

However, my sewing room is not loving it that much. More projects at one time also mean that lots of things are out of their box and literally they are everywhere.

Well, I probably need to get back to focus on one or two projects only at a time soon as I am getting the overwhelming feeling with the mess around already. I still need to think how I can easily have all my fabrics ready to cut without folding them back again.

I have ironed most of the fabrics for the Patchwork Barn which I introduced to you earlier in this post. Since I plan for a scrappy quilt, I have many, many, many fabrics around.

I am thinking of hanging it on the hanger till next use.

Anyway, this few weeks have gotten me some great progress on the blocks. And in this post, I’ll share the progress of my Patchwork Barn Quilt with you.
