Mum's works

Today, Jia and i email again.. both bored lady.. haa.. so we were talking abt what to do during free time, i wanted to do quilting +cross sticth.. she wanted to do something that can produce faster result..

i told her during bb's stay in hospital, all nurses in the ward envy bb cos she has this quilt made by my mum aka bb's grandma which is si colourful and nice.. the nurses keep saying bb very lucky and this is "wen nuan pai" heee..

so i post the quilt mum made for bb way before she was born...
(1) this is made from left over fabric from mum's frens who r tailor.. so this is all hand sticthed.. one by one cut ut the template then trace on fabric, cut out, show into the "pa gua" shap.. then hand stiched together.. the background was last sew on. thsi piece after completed, you feel like got cushioning between all the pentagons.. nice..
(2) this is another piece , squarish which is easier to make.flatter. but simple and nice.
(3) mum completed this purple sweater for bb. she made when baby sit her at home.. the scarf she just completed last week. all cross-sticthed.
my mum is good at doing craft work.. she made for all hergrand child.. my nephews all have a piece of the quilt + sweater.. lucky us..
