[120601] Dragon Quilt on Quilting Arts Magazine

My first art quilt of this year has made it to the Reader Challenge "From Sketch to Art Quilt" on Quilting Arts Magazine June/July issue. I am so happy to see in on the page!

It's already been half way of 2012, and I feel so graceful that I have many upcoming projects occupying my second half of this year:)

[120402] Quilted Sewing Machine Cover

I clean my sewing machine every once in a while, inside out, but it still gets dusty as it is just sitting on my desk. I had this idea of making a cover just to have my precious sewing machine protected from everyday dust.

Looked at my fabric drawer to seek for what to use for the cover, and I saw this beautiful bubbly blue fabric that I purchased from Rosie's couple of months ago. Hmm, it kind of looks like water. Then I came up with an aquarium theme design....

This picture above is the front side with mermaid Useless, and on the back side there is Dragomander. I love how it came out:) It also has an opening on top where you can pull up the handle of the sewing machine so that you can carry it with the cover on.

Now I am working on my mom's birthday gift, and it is going to be a lap quilt...
Happy quilting everybody!

[120113] Flag quilts

Since the last fourth of July, I have always wanted to make an American flag to hand on our door... and it was a great chance for me to use some of the fabric and batting that I received from the international quilt contest:) I know that there is still a half year until the next fourth of July... but I like how it came out anyway! Cute!!

And as a Japanese, I had to make a Japanese flag as well!!

I quilted my family crest "Daki Miyoga" inside the red circle. Hehehe;)
