Pinwheel and Hexagon Mug Rug

How do you find this combination of pinwheel and hexagon patchwork? I like doing pinwheel these days. Planning to make a pinwheel quilt !

If you remember, i made a patchwork bambi a while back, I am trying to refine it, here comes a sneak peek.

My First Giveaway - Tea Cup Coaster

This coaster is inspired by the work of Laurraine of Patchwork Pottery. It is approximately 12.5cm wide.  I was lazy so I just used a woven ribbon to make the handle of the tea cup XD. I think this is still good. What do you think?

If you would like to have this coaster and if you really like my other projects, please "like" my facebook page (you can find the link on the right column of my blog), follow my blog and leave a comment. This giveaway is open until Wednesday 5:30pm Hong Kong time. ^^

New Bag for Our Camera

My husband and I are going to Seoul, Korea for a few days to eat and shop in late September. He has been urging me to make a  bag for our camera ever since we bought the travel packages (actually it was just last Saturday). We bought this camera, Olympus EPL1 last year and he purposely bought a cloth from Japan website to wrap our camera. However, he now found that it's not convenient to wrap and unwrap the camera all the time so he thinks it would be better to have a bag for it. As there is no official camera bag for it, he urged me to make one. 

So here it is!! 

This is by far the most complicated bag I have ever made. I have been struggling with what fabric to use as I know I am supposed to use neutral fabric but not floral or girly ones as we share this camera. However, when looking into the fabric I have, I can't help but to choose pink and polka dots. 

I am very satisfied with this project ^^. I wish I can go to Seoul sooner. I read from the travel book and  learnt that there is a market that sells fabric, trims, ribbon!!!! We will go there on the first day. I can't wait.

Originally we planned to go to Taipei of Taiwan as I wanted to go to the fabric market there. Many people from Hong Kong go there as there are lots of fabric at a good price. However, we went to Taipei for our wedding pictures 3 years ago but we haven't been to Seoul together, so we resolved to go to Seoul. Now I found that there is fabric market in Seoul, which is a bonus to me!!!

By the way, I took a picture of my pink dresden coaster and my mug. I think they look really good together. Aren't they cute? The bunny is so happy ^^

Pink Dresden Coaster for Myself

When I was a teenager, I do not particularly like pink. I studied in a Catholic girls' school and my uniform was pink!! I wore pink for 7 years and had no feeling for it, don't particularly like it nor hate it. But when I started to sew, I found that most beautiful fabrics come in red and pink and I can't stop buying them. 

This coaster will be for my mug in office. Can you see my circle? It's still not perfect!! Seems even worse than the coaster I made for my sweet colleague. I'll work hard on it!!!!!

Coaster for a Sweet Colleague

Inspired by Amy, I drew up my dresdens template (it's really hard to get dresdens template in Hong Kong!!!) and made this coaster for my sweet colleague. She loves yellow so I used 4 types of yellow fabric. This coaster is 13cm wide and I think it's a bit too big to be a coaster but too small to be a pot holder...T___T and my "super circle" is not that super, it's pointy T______T

A Little Coaster for a Little Girl

I made a little coaster for my friend's little girl, who will turn 3 in three months. This coaster is a bit small, only 9cm x 9cm, so I guess it's only suitable for little girl. The Japanese linen fabrics are just too gorgeous, don't you think so?
