Something small in the making



I started to stitch the applique' flower and embroider the stem & leaves today. The background is a simple patchwork I made on Friday night for a Free- motion Quilting learning session on Saturday. But I've decided to practise on scraps a little bit more.

This small project in the making, is a quilt for the tray. Original pattern is from Patchwork Club magazine No. 61 last year. I modified it a little bit here and there.

Since it involves needle turn technique* for those tiny appliques and I don't really have a lot of time to spend on stitching/sewing every day, this project will gonna last more than a week I suppose.



Hari ni, mula jahit applique (sulam tampal) dan buat sulaman untuk daun & batang. Kain dasar tu sebenarnya dah dibuat pada Jumaat malam lagi , sebenarnya untuk kelas Free-motion Quilting pada hari Sabtu. Tapi aku tukar fikiran sebab aku rasa masih perlu berlatih guna kain perca.

Projek ni adalah projek alas dulang. Paten asal dari majalah Patchwork Club keluaran 61 tahun lepas. Aku ubah sikit sini sana.

Untuk projek ni, aku guna teknik needle turn* untuk applique yang kecil molek tu, aku pun bukan ada masa sangat 'menghadap' projek ni hari-hari, aku rasa memang akan ambil masa lebih dari seminggu nak siapkan.



* needle turn - handstitching technique for applique involves invisible stitches and gives emboss effect
teknik ni guna jahitan susup supaya tak kelihatan and bila siap ada kesan timbul yang cantik pada applique
