Quack.. Quack.. Quack...

I can't resist myself from joining this Quaker Pinkeep Exchange when Mona announced it over the board. And guess who's my partner ? The organiser, herself.. hik hik..



Since I have very limited collection of quaker charts, it took me longer time to find for suitable chart. Finally I fall in love with this chart called 'Essuie de Parade', from Gigi's blog. I stitched one of the motifs from the chart, using DMC variegated no. 111 stitched on white 28ct linen.

For the back piece, I used a fabby with prints looks like quaker (see the background of the photo) which I bought some time back from Craft World.


Thank Lene, Lillie & Dania, for visiting my blog.

Garden Theme Pincushion

Stitched for Barbara for our NeedlesNCrafts Pincushion Exchange. I decided to name this pincushion as Garden Theme Pincushion, where I stitched Barbara's initials in flower alphabets. I also used cotton fabby with butterflies print to match.

Spice Tea Pincushion

A lovely pincushion stitched by Zohrah for our NeedlesNcrafts Pincushion Exchange. Design is from San Man Original tea party, entitled "Spice Tea".

Thanks Zohrah, I really love this pincushion and admire your neat stitching. And at the same time, I feel honour getting this knowing that you spent hours stitching for such a big chart for this exchange.. Thanks and muacchhh....

XStitches Pendibule Exchange 2007

Take a look at these... !!! A collection of all pendibules that have been stitched by all the participants from the recent exchange.. They're all look very lovely, aren't they.. I love them all, in fact !

And this is the pendibule that I received from my partner, Mas.. Thanks Mas, I love it soooo much...

My Very First Pendibule

I've seen Zalita stitched a pendibule for her partner for the last Needlecrafter Scissors Fob, such a cute one. So when I newly joined another Malaysian based cross stitcher's yahoo group - XstitchesNXchanges, they're in the midst of organising a Pendibule Exchange and I've signed up.



So for those who has visiting my blog b4, this is what the pink and purple thingy that M in love end up. This is my first ever pendibule for my partner, Dania stitched on 28ct lilac linen which I bought from Linda of Stitch N Such. The patern wuz actually a border taken from the Joan Elliot book. My personal advice for stitching a pendibule, is try to look up for pattern meant for border as it much easy to work on.

NC Scissors FOB Exchange

This is the 2nd exchange that I joined this year.. It wuz organised by Needlecrafter Yahoo Groups (NC). This is the scissors FOB that I stitched for Normia. I chose to stitch her initial 'N'. After I have completed the scissors FOB only I realised what I've stitched for Normia are a bit bigger. It looks like a pincushion rather than a scissor FOB.



I received this cute scissors fob from Ila in return.. very cute, rite.. I like it so much.. Thanks Ilaa..

In Love With Pink & Purple

Take a look.. what I've been stitching last nite..

I guess M in love with those pink & purple colors & these small roses as well.. urkkk M still strugling to stitch the other side. March is ending and I still have 2 exchanges yet to be mail out. Not to mention my Needlecrafter RR which is due to mail out by 1st week on Apr 07. And I only managed to stitched 300 stitches out of 3600 stitches for my box... help .. help.. !!!!

French Redwork Exchange

At the end of 2006, Needles & Crafts organized a French Redwork Exchange (FRE) where those who participate can stitch anything, be it a pin cushion, needlecase book, pin keep or anything but one theme to follow – it must be a French chart to be stitched in RED colour.

Barbara being my partner send this beautiful needlecase to my office address. It is such a beautiful rose, of course all stitched in red. Such a lovely piece indeed.

For this FRE, I stitched this French Inspired Heart, a complimentary pattern from the online XS magazine – The Gift of Stitching. As M not gud in my finishing, so I did a pinkeep for Lillie, which does not involve any sewing. This is my 1st time doing a pinkeep, so M juz hoping Lillie like my 1st ever pinkeep though it’s not perfect.

2005 Valentine Stitch Card Exchange

This year I took part in 2 Valentine Stitch Card Exchange (VSCE). The first one by Malaysian Stitchers Yahoo Group which goes to Kak Ji of Terengganu. And in return I got mine from Kak Jie too.. The chart wuz taken from the 2005 UK Crossstitcher magazines. It wuz stitched on my own hand-dyed 14ct aida. I like this design very much especially the love shape border. Anyway, I didn't really happy the way I did my card. Very unprofessional, may be I shud brush up my card making skills..





For Needlecrafter Yahoo Group VSCE, I stitched this patchwork design which I named 'Patchwork Heart' for Linda. Original design wuz taken from old magazine (I think for than 10 yrs old mag). Actually it came in set of 9, but I stitch one for this occasion. Thinking to do all 9 patchwork hearts one day.. when ?? he he... only God knows..
