Special Quilt for my granddaughter

I got the quilt back from Korea and I’m going to give to my 4 years old granddaughter as a Christmas gift. It’s beautiful….. I hope she likes it. Special thanks to Jade.

Hooray!

I completed the last 4 pieces of Holly Hobbie. Since last December, I stitched 16 Holly Hobbies with all different colour conversion. Now I’m going to send them to Korea to have them made into a quilt as wall hanging or bed spread. And all I have to do in the meantime is wait.

Special Project 3

Here are four more Holly Hobbies completed. So far I have done 12 Holly Hobbies. Just four more to do. They are so beautiful..... to be continued.

Special Project 2

Four more Holly Hobbies are completed. Two were done as mirror images. I’m going to stitch eight of the original pattern and eight of the mirror images. So far I have done half of the project. I’m going to slow down as I’m getting a little tired.  To be continued …

Special Project 1

I’m working on a special project for my granddaughter, who is 3 and a half years old. Last year in December, I started to stitch “Holly Hobbie” with all different colours. I planned 12 pieces when I started, but now I’m going to make 16 pieces. It’s fun to stitch with my own colour conversion work. Here are first four pieces done. I contacted my friend in Korea, who will make a quilt of these for me. Special thanks to Jade.

Purple Holly Hobbie Bag

I stitched a purple version of this Holly Hobbie and sent it to a quilter friend in Korea, to have it made into a bag. It's a very big size, 35X31 cm, and it looks like 3 bags in one. I haven't yet seen the finished bag in-person, as it was a special gift for my dearest friend, also in Korea. I hope she likes it. Special thanks Ttenzzand, best quilter I know. I used 898, 502, 209, 211, 700, 434, B5200, 208, 553, 604, 964, 754, 704, 726, 436, 3371, 433, 958, 210, 602, 3837, 3371, 801

Brown Holly Hobbie Bag

This was my 10th Holly Hobbie, done in July 2009. I wanted another bag, so my frinend Ttenzzang quilted this into a bag for me. I carried this bag to church this past sunday and I heard lots of nice comments.

10th Holly Hobbie

I stitched one in brown from the pattern.
I only changed the hair colours, and the skirt to white.
So far I stitched 10 Holly Hobbies in these colours:Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Pink, Purple (2nd time) and Brown.

9th Holly Hobbie

I stitched another one in purple (2nd time). It was fun to change the colours.

I enjoyed it a lot.
I don’t know what I’m going to make with this yet.
I used DMC 898, 552,209, 211, 700, 434, 208, 553, 604,964, 754, 704, 726, 436, 3371, 322, 958, 210, 602, 3837, 3371, 801 and B5200.

8th Holly Hobbie

I again stitched Holly Hobbie, this time in pink version. It’s my 8th one and it turned out pretty bright pink.I used DMC, 155, 208, 318, 333, 367, 433, 436, 601, 603, 700, 702, 727, 728, 754, 792, 801, 898, 915, 917, 3607, 3608, 3689, 3750, 3787, 3814, 3842, 3843, 3865 and white.



One of my friends in Korea who does quilting made this one into a nice bag. I mailed this piece in March to Korea, and got it back last week.
I know it’s not easy to match the colours of fabric around a stitched piece, but she did a good job. I’m so pleased with this bag. I carried this bag yesterday to Church, and I received lots of comments

Holly Hobbie

I stitched seven Holly Hobbies in mid 2004. They are blue, red, green, yellow, purple, dark blue and orange.
It was so fun of changing the colours when I was doing these.
I have made them into cushions, and three were given away as gifts.

This year, I stitched one more with bright pink colours for myself. At the moment, this one is in a quilter’s hands, to make it into a bag for me.
Once it is finished, I will post an update. I can’t wait to get this bag.
Some day, I want to stitch more of these in different colours. Any suggestions??
