6th project (Higher level)

Purely quilting.

I started making this project before coming back to Malaysia. Progress is a bit slow but I believe if i keep one working on the quilting these few days, it should be done by next week. Problem is I need yarn thread to insert through the empty place along the quilted area. Guess the rest of the work can be done when I am in shanghai again.








After this project is done, I still have 2 more to complete then I am considered finished the entire course. Am thinking of whether to take machine sewing course at another school now....

Wow... very nice and big project !
I know you will do just fine and will end up being as beautiful as the rest of your work !
Do you take classes under a mentor or
in a quilt school ? Do you get to be recognized with a title after you finish your course ?

I guess it will be nice to learn the machine techniques as well, just in case ;-), though I really love the look and feel of handwork !

Thanks My 1st Bambina.

How do I address you ? You can call me Chieng.

Yes, I am taking courses from a patchwork school, it is a small classroom and Ihave the flexibility to go there any time. After I completed all the projects, I will be recognised according to the level I completed, eg. Higher level certification.

YES !! I totally agree with you about machine sewing ^^. You know what, I recently understand that there is a new machine sewing school just few blocks from my apartment, I am thinking of joining the course if the fee is reasonable. I wish to understand the techique first. As I am in Malaysia now, I will explore the school once I am in Shanghai again.

^^ Take care always.

Hi, Ayu.

Thanks for the message. I am so sorry for such a slow reply as I cannot access to blogspot while in china. It is really a blessing when you finally manage to catch up with your dream work. Same as me, I was an IT professional (Microsoft certified engineer some more), working in KLCC last time. And finally managed to find something i really love. Yes, totally addicted to making bags, I must stitch a few stitches even when I am sick, hahah... Keep up with your works. Good luck !! :)

I really like your work and it is amazing when I see your 6th project done with fully handwork. I just enroll to patchwork class last Friday 21st May 2010, after I read your blog, I have just started my first project with the class, it is really fun to know friends who loves patchwork from the class too. I wanted to start writing blog about my passion.
