August finishes #01 : Notebook covers

Hello Everyone!!

This month I am not only finished stitching one notebook cover but three notebook covers.  The first notebook cover is for my girl...it is for a notebook size 9.5" x 6.5".
 
 
She specially request to have a pocket at the front cover for her to keep small items. The pocket size is big enough to fit a calculator size. The fabric that I used is Magic Garden by Sabine Reinhart for Blend Fabrics which I've won from a giveaway last year.

 

The second notebook cover for my son's used the Good Fortune fabric by Kate Spain .  This cover is fit for a cute notebook size 6" x 5.5".  I'm using the left over fabric from the Jacob's Ladder quilt which the top is still a work in progress (will share in my next post soon...)  
 
 
I handstitched my son's name(A D A M) at the front
This is how the back looks like
 Following is the third notebook cover that I've made for my third daughter. I used cotton fabric which I bought from the local shop. This is how the finish looks like. I used black polka dot cotton fabric for the background with combination of red and blue color. This notebook cover is fit for a cute notebook size 6" x 5.5".


One common thing with all these three notebook covers are the design. I play with hexagons in designing them ... I love them all.

Happy Stitching!

2013 Finish-A-Long : 3rd Quarter


Hello!
 
she can quilt
 
Here I am again...with my list of UFOs that I wish to look into finishing in the 3rd quarter of this year.  This time I list my UFOs in photos  and label each of the project name below to the link when I started all these projects...




Garden Steps Quilt was a finished project from Quilt Along that I joined in 2012 hosted by mother/daughter team at Clover & Violet.
 
I also include one UFO crochet project in the list.  Hope it is OK with the Finish-A-Long rules.  It is my first crochet along that I joined in 2011 hosted by Scotti over at  Oxford Family.
 
Third in the list is the fabric that I've cut and seage for making a long skirt for my daughter.  I never share about it at my blog so I can't show how long I've beeen keeping the fabrics.
 
Fourth are bags inspired from the market tote quilt along that I participated in 2011.  The quilt along was  hosted at Clover & Violet. 
 
Fifth is the scrappy postage stamp quilt which I finished the top in March 2012. 
 
And last but not least the project that I look into finishing is this Geranium Baby dress(small size).  I found the free pattern at Made By Rae  which I download and start cutting the fabric early of this year. 
 
Happy Sewing!

One Flower Wednesday and WIP

Hi ...
It has been a long time since I'm sharing a flower from my garden for the One Flower Wednesday party.




 Anyway this week I have completed one flower using the charm square that I won from Clover & Violet. This is how I use this flower. I will share the finish project after all the hand stitch done...



and this is another sneak peak on what I am working  currently with my Good Fortune fabric scraps.  For this I will make a notebook cover for my son.


I plan to link these two projects at the end of the a Season by Hand series over at Clover and Violet


Happy Stitching!!
