The year that was ... 2013

 2013 was the year when I discovered my love for sewing and quilting. I found many friends through their blogs, joined in some quilt-a-longs and participated in a couple of swaps. I also won some lovely giveaways, and tried to send some gifts in return. 


 I learnt to paper piece, enjoyed some EPP, managed to quilt on my machine (albeit only straight lines at the moment!), put zippers into pouches and cushion covers and discovered that I love embroidery.


And I designed my own quilt block ... representing a big part of my life in Indonesia .. being stuck in traffic jams!

I am excited to start 2014 with my own little blog, to try to give back a little to the wonderful quilting community. Thanks for joining me.

Oh, and I am claiming my blog on bloglovin!
