More pleated wristlets!

It's been a while since I posted anything recently completed. I haven't been slacking off or anything heheh... Just didn't get a chance to put things up.

I've had several work-in-progress pleated wristlets finally all wrapped up, and I wanted to share them here :)

The pink wristlet was an order from my colleague, while the other two were meant as ready stock. Happily, however, the day after I finished the maroon & green wristlets, H snapped up the maroon piece :)

I actually had another one finished, but I just HAD to meddle with the pattern didn't I? That ended up being pretty unusable hehehe so that's not gonna be put up here...

I've got a few more items to be shared, so till then!

My first group quilt :)

Sometime back, 6 of us from our FB quilt group got together to make a baby quilt or one of the other members who just delivered a baby boy. Realistically, I knew it was gonna be tough to commit to the project, but I went ahead and signed up for it anyway :) A forced deadline is always a good incentive to start & finish something new :)

The subject was appliqué, any design and color, on a blue block. I wasn't ambitious, especially since it's my first ever appliqué work, so I chose a simple dinosaur motif.

If you look closely, the machine satin stitch is irregular in places (especially around corners), so I'm glad you can't see them! To make up for the simple design, I added some hand embroidery in dark green DMC floss.

The other ladies did a fantastic job on the quilt. I especially love the bright rocket! I don't remember who pieced it together, but Kak Aida did the hand quilting and it's yummy...

The smiling, chubby recipient is Zila's baby... Isn't he just so adorable on that quilt?

It was a fun experience, and I'd definitely do it again in the future! I missed out on 2 more group quilts after this one due to work commitments, but you betcha I'll be signing up again soon!
