Modern Quilt

 I officially joined St. Louis Modern Quilt Guild (STLMG) this month. I love the colors, fabrics and patterns of modern quilts. I only made one modern quilt so far, and I'm about to make a second one.

 There's an inspiration challenge at the guild in August. I would like to make a quilt with a lot of white space, but I'm afraid to use white fabrics for throw. There are many modern quilts made with white fabrics, and I wonder how they take care of it. Aren't they afraid that someone might spill drinks or food on it? What if they don't come out after wash? Does people think that will give a charm/character on the quilt? Without making a decision of weather I should use white as my background or not, I can't start making a quilt. The time is ticking, so I have to come up with decision.

　Meanwhile, here's my first modern quilt I made.

My First Blog!!

 Hi, I'm Yuko. This is my first time making a blog! I would love to share my passion for creating things by sewing, paper crafting, knitting, crocheting, beading...etc. I'm just one of those people whose hands are always working on projects while watching T.V., reading sewing magazines while eating, and thinking of new pattern to sew while I'm in bed. 


 The newest project I just finished yesterday is this embroidery hoop art. I just love the combinations of free motion stitch applique, and hand embroidery outline stitch in one hoop. It'll be hanging on my sewing room door. Hopefully kids will notice it, and not to bother me too much while I'm sewing!
