As one of the pattern designers, I am proud to present "Cotton Life" all the way from Taiwan!
This new sewing book has a great Zakka look! There are photos for each step of every project so it very easy to follow even if you do not read Chinese. All measurements are in centimetres and includes full-size templates. Each issue includes 28-32 projects including accessories, clothing, housewares, bags, quilts and much more!
Cotton Life no.3 includes my Autumn Leaf Bag set! Look for my patterns in every issue that follows! Now you can find them in my SHOP.
I drooled all over this delicious wool at the fabric store so they made me buy it! I love Autumn colours!
Speaking of Autumn, Halloween is just around the corner. I recently joined the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild and October's block of the month was a 6 1/2 inch square block with a Halloween theme of course! Here is what I came up with! I had lots of fun using up my scraps :o)
... and what would a patchwork spiderweb be without a button spider!
v-e-r-y n-i-c-e!!!
ReplyDeletegood work!!! I like it!!!
ciao ciao
The button spider is soooo cute ^.^ Looks like real one (O.K., better than a real one... real ones are not cute).
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the spider web to. Would be nice to make such cup coasters :)
Best regards

I love the spider web quilt! What a great idea and it is something I would be more likely to make than some of the other Halloween quilts. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever. Your little button spider is genius!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! I heart it! I like spider-quilt! And I like that autumnal colours...
ReplyDeleteSo simple and so incredibly cool. The button spider is just the best! :-) You are an idea maker deluxe!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that spider :) And I have arachnofobia. I also like your colors. Your blog makes me feel warm. GREETINGS from Poland
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on seeing your patterns in print, and in Chinese! Imagine! That's so cool. Your spiderweb block is aces.
ReplyDeletelove the spider!

I love your work. The spider is great. Your patchworks are inspiring.
ReplyDeletei love your creation i really love them, i love a magazine called Handmade i've bought it in taiwan last year but it is impossible to find it in the net if you don't speak chinese!
ReplyDeletebye silvia
Lovely magazine and reasonably priced in your shop, but I nearly spat out my coffee when I saw the postage. US$37 isn't really reasonable to ship a magazine to Australia. I might have considered $10 shipping, or maybe even $15, but I could buy several books on quilting from bookdepository for that price. If you can make the postage cheaper I'd consider buying from you.
ReplyDeleteAs usual---all beautiful! Congrats on the book article, you are so good!!
ReplyDeleteSmiles, Karen
Congratulations for being part of the part - it looks wonderful. Love the spider and web!
ReplyDeleteyour work always so beautiful! i love all of them!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am trying to find a cheaper way to ship internationally. Canada Post is really quite outrageous. There is always surface mail if people don't mind waiting 4-6 weeks for delivery...
ReplyDeleteYour work is truely amazing! I also adore that french press cozy and the zipper pouches in cotton life! They are all truely amazing and so inspiring! I want to make them too for me. :) Oh and these wool fabrics are gorgeous and i really adore the lovely fall colors! Have a lovely emrry happy day and love to yoU!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! It is beautiful!!!! The wool is gorgeous too!!!
ReplyDeleteLaurraine Hi, I think I've lost count of how many times I visited your blog cute in all these visits I always admired his work as if at home, I think everything always so beautiful, so warm that even makes you want to go. For this and other endless reasons that I decided to make a link with a photo of your monkey blankets, indicating your blog on "MY BLOG". Yupiii \ o / I was very happy and I'm sure readers here my friends from Brazil, will also be delighted to come visit you in ° patchwork pottery ¨. Hope you can come meet me at my blog, and can follow me as I follow the delicious and darling little corner.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, kisses with love Mô
:D
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI thought spiders had 8 legs?! Don´t they?
But that goes for "artist´s freedom".... ; )
best wishes,
Morgenwind
If you can offer it (and its reasonable) I'd rather wait 4-6 weeks and get a postage surprise when I've forgotten about my purchase than pay more than double the price of the item in shipping. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input :o)
ReplyDeleteWow!! Your projects are great! And the spider is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Tatyana

so very cute!! And the addition of the spider is the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeletefound your Spider Web quilt via Pinterest and WOW!!! How cute... I want to make one of my own... as I run upstairs to see if I have any scraps that will work! :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei really, really love this!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful block!! I especially LOVE your spider ... would you mind if I shared him on my blog with a link to your blog? I just designed a block for the Glorious Autumn Block Party by Quilting Gallery and included a spider ... your's would be a fantastic alternative to my appliquéd spider.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the inspiration! I made two little mini-quilts/hot pads. You can see them here.
ReplyDeleteoops forgot the link http://helpinglittlehands.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-little-spiderweb-for-you.html
ReplyDeleteI love the creative way you did the spider! Good Job!
ReplyDeleteOlá! sou do Brasil e queria muito comprar suas revistas , como faço?
ReplyDeleteLaurraine I love your spider creation and would love to share this blog as an attachment and advertisement for your book/blog with a prize for tabletopper patterns within our local quilt group. Is that permissable?
ReplyDeleteThe legs & bottom of spider would be fun to put under a button on a shirt.
