Bright sunny tote

scrap block

i used this tute to make this block....i made it with 1.5" scrap strips

i loved the tiling effect...

just learnt that this is called "postage stamp" quilt block 

I'm a huge fan of the Bonnie Hunter scrap users system and routinely trim down my extras into usable sizes which I store in nifty plastic packets. i need to organise it in boxes soon.

charity begins from home....

my mom asked if i could make a few blankies as she wanted to donate....i was most pleased to try out modern quilting 

 this was the first one....kinda of log cabin !!!

 added a blue backing

 the yellow used were recycled from my shirts...

 the green and red were from my stash

 the black and yellow were from old sari falls.

the blue checks were old fabric napkins.

back to crafting after a long break..........

started making a bandhanwar...

A Bandhanwar is a door hanging which is hung at the entrance of each house from one end of the door to the other, slightly above the average walking height. This is done, because not only does the Bandhanwar serve as a beautiful ethnic decoration but also it is supposed to ward away any evil that may venture at the entrance of any house.
