This is another UFO which had been resided for some time di bilik jahit saya. We need a comforter di bilik utama D’ Melati Homestay. Saya beli cadar biru yang tiada comforter Purposely tak beli sebab nak buat dari collection kain dalam bilik jahit.
Ehm.. comel pulak..Berfikir dua kali nak letak kat D’Melati ni
2 Januari 2013 – Complete this piece untuk guest house nanti. Most of the stiches dalam cross stitch ini dibuat sepanjang perjalanan berulang alik ke Shah Alam dari Dungun sewaktu abah memandu. Perlu hantar untuk frame pula..
Suka, suka suka

Another 4 new blocks completed.
Top Row : Block 48 Homeward Bound and Block 71 Push The Corner
Bottom Row: Block 70 Prairie Queen and Block44 Gentleman Fancy.
I have difficulty in completing Block 44. Without the book configuring the location of each template is challenging. The completed block is slightly smaller than 6.5 in X 6.5 in. I might have to sew another one of this block. Due to the complexity of the block, it took 45 -60 minutes for me to come out with a block. The process starts with selecting the right combination of cloth, configuring the location of each template, cutting and sewing. I guest the time taken will be more for the rest of the block :).
Another 4 blocks completed in the evening
Top Row : Block 50 Honey Choice and Block 14 Butterfly At The Cross Road
Bottom Row: Block 17 Cat and Mice and Block 23 Country Farm
These blocks look nice after they are trimmed into 6.5 X 6.5 in blocks. Want to see how does the blocks look like before the trimming session ? Here it is
Try my best to make a perfect block but it is not that easy especially when the pieces has more than 30 small pieces :)
30/12/202 - Additional 3 new blocks completed today. Its getting more and more time consuming since pieces for each new block is more than the previous blocks.
Block 32 Farmer’s Daughter, Block 42 Flower Basket and Block 45 Fruit Basket
Template for Block 42 and Block 45 are similar so I decided to complete both of them today. A very tedious job since each block has more than 30 small pieces.

4 new blocks
Top Row - Block 81 Snow Ball and Block 40 Friendship Block
Bottom Row – Block 84 Spool and Block 34 Flock
Love the final piece of block 40 and block 34. I should have used a plan color cloth instead of print cloth for Block 84.
Another 2 blocks
Block 39 Friendship and Block 35 Flower Basket.
Love the outcome of block 30. The template given for block 35 is slightly incorrect. The handle is hand sewn using ready bias tape (instead of using the template :) )
I am out of simple blocks..Need to do the mathematical calculation in creating the other blocks….
