'Together forever' couple pillow V2

Made this a few weeks back. A "together forever" couple pillow in dark red, ordered by Nurdalina. Actually, I've made something similar to this before. Remember the couple embroidery pillow? But instead of hand embroidering the wordings, I use machine embroidery. 


Neat, huh? :)

I'm really glad she loves it! She even promote us to her friends :)

Since I like it better than the hand embroidered one, I've decided to add this design to our catalog, replacing the old design. Click here for more info on price, available colors and description. 

And for those who prefer hand embroidery... no worries! I plan to create new designs incorporating different hand embroidery stitches. But, it might take a while since I need to learn and hone my skills first :)

Rants: I had problem with my space button on my laptop for quite sometime. Always need to push it a few times to get it to work. But lately, it turns to worst! It's not working at all! Since I'm getting tired of copying and pasting "space", I've popped the key out!! Thank god it's not broken. And now, I need to clean it first before putting it together again~~

Hand vs. machine?

Hello dearies~
Remember when we said we're working on new (improved) version of our pillow designs? Well, here's a sneak peek~ Notice the difference?

Improved pillow design,
using machine embroidery

The older version... a reminder if you forget bout it :)

'Always in love' pillow order, made in late 2011.
Each letter (made from felt) is individually cut and hand-sewn.

Not much difference isn't it? Except for the additional cute felt embellishment and the 'always in' font. If you managed to look past the incompleteness, you'll see that the new version (machine embroidered) is better. Right? I mean, just look it. They're glossy, sleek and super neat! Frankly speaking, I would prefer them over the old one since it exudes elegance and looks rather refined.

What about you? Do share your opinion with us :)

p/s: Not into this? No worries, we still have other designs. Will share with you soon~

Order: Another hand embroidered pillows in red

Happy Saturday all!
Last week has been a very productive week. I managed to make five pillows, a few keychains and a nursing cover. This week? Hmmm...not so much.

Anyway, here's an order from my friend's sister. Remember the red hand embroidered pillow, ordered by a friend of mine for her sister's wedding? Well, this time, her sister ordered another two pillows for herself :)

Thanks for your order dear. And soooo sorry for the delay as this was ordered during my hiatus.

p/s: We're currently working on new version of this 'together forever' hand embroidered pillow! *wink*wink*

Patchwork pillow 'for you'

My very first patchwork pillow... and I'm proud of it! Truth be told, it looks way better in real life rather than pictures :P

Quilted patchwork pillow for my sis :)
(click to see larger picture)

I'm using mom's scrap cotton fabrics for patchwork (she has tons of it!), plain red cotton for the gathered strip, leftover checkers from past projects and brown fabric which I bought impulsively during a trip to a nearby fabric store. Somehow, it all fit together. I also added the hanging red and pink heart which are made from felt for embellishment.

Since this is my first attempt on quilting, it's far from perfect. If you see picture above (and below), you'll notice there are wrinkles at the upper half of the pillow. That's what you get when you're too lazy to spray basting your quilt!

What do you think of it? I would love to hear your honest opinion/comments :)
