Hi everbody

Oh my God, I did not realise that i was away for so long from blogger world . Its been almost  5 months since i posted something out here, not that i have done a great deal of work to show but still its better to be connected with friends to see what they have done and to learn new things.

My husband fell ill in dec. 2012, was down with high fever for almost 15-20 days which left him drained of strength and could not join duty for almost 2 months so i was busy looking after him and during that time my brother and his family came down to be with me, they were of great help. My husband is fine now and has resumed duty, Thank God.

I did no do much just completed my crochet shawl for myself and a crochet baby blanket for  our grand son.

I made use of my brothers visit and made him model my work. You can see blanket hanging at back.I have added a simple black color border to the shawl now, this picture was taken earlier.

 My nephew was very happy to model for my work with a promise to take him out for treat.

 

Sweater made by me for my brother, he wanted one with shawl collar.

Hope you guys like my work.

I'll be back soon .

 

Take care.

Hi every body

Hope you people are doing good.
I just could not bring myself to write after my mother-in-law's demise.  Actually there is not much to show to you people as i was pretty occupied with my MIL's illness and whatever spare time i could find and to boost my spirits i worked on two pillow covers sitting beside her.

I had been going through some beautiful blogs where these ladies have made some really excellent quilts using Hexagon and circles. These hexes really fascinated me and i thought of trying out these. I do not think i have those patience nor that talent to make such beautiful quilts but i certainly can use these hexes and circles to decorate my pillow or make complete pillow or cushion covers.

  So here is my hexagon flower with leaf on the pillow cover.




I learnt from Janet M. Davies blog how to make perfect circles so tried out these as well and put them on another pillow and surrounded these circles with little embroidery.
Have a look.



I enjoyed doing these and  now i plan to make cushion covers using these two.here is the picture of both pillow covers. Making these were pretty fast then doing embroidery and some change too.

  I have come across some beautiful applique/patchwork cushion covers on the net.
What do you have to say about these cushions covers with circles.

On this cushion and quilt  below the colors stand out on black background.

 Below is pillow cover using hexagon, so colorful  and good use of scraps too.

I love these and mind you these are just of many many beautiful things made by some very talented ladies out there. There is so much to learn everyday and so much to do.

See you later friends till then take care.
Pratima.

Hi everybody

I am writing after such a long time and that too with heavy heart. My mother-in-law breathed her last on 19th Sept. after long illness and with her i lost my great supporter, encourager and admirer of my work. It will take sometime for us to settle in our routine without her now. We all miss her here at our place.
