sweet and savory

 
After falling into a rabbit hole, and what feels like a "long" and "emotional"  struggle to keep the positivity intact, i think it's safe to say that i have been able to climb out. Yep, it was the kind of sickness that played games with me physically and mentally. I am slowly climbing back up, not too much, although, i am working on it. Thank you so much for all the wonderful sweet wishes and positive thoughts, friends. You guys are too sweet. I couldn't have asked for a better treat and it makes me feel better.

After getting myself together slowly, i managed to salvage the remainder of my strength by sewing and scheming ~ my quilting blocks. I'm still scheming about. It's fun ~ i always really enjoy that  part. And it worked wonders as a mood elevator.

Below is a sneak peek at some blocks i finished. 

 Stay warm and lots of love to you!

Oh, they are so beautiful! And so intricate and lovely. I especially like the yellowy-green pieces!
Sewing is a great way to get out of our low places where we feel awful. My daughter had colic, and she would cry for hours at a time, and I would carry her and pace back and forth through our house. But while I did, I would design quilt blocks in my head, just to get away from it!
I hope you continue to feel better each day!

Very glad you're turning a corner, Jacqueline, slowly but sure, things come in time. Being still, listening, letting go and letting love flow are great for healing. As is crafting--LOL! Your quilt blocks are BEAUTIFUL! I love all the pink. ;o) I'm hoping next year to do a little more quilting... So much fabric, so little time--LOL! Happy Days, my friend. Be taking good care... ((BIG HUGS))

Hi Jacqueline, I just found your blog and totally love your sewing! Your blocks are so pretty and very inspiring. I would like to ask a favour from you if possible - would you be able to tell me where I can find fabric/quilting shops in KL or Klang area? I visit these two places often, but could never find any fabric shops. Thank you so much for your help!

[Kate England]

Jacqueline, I'm so glad to hear that you're getting better. Sometimes it takes time, our bodies and souls take the time they need when we don't give it to them...

Your quilting blocks are sensational! The colour palette so pleasing to the eye, spectacular! I've been looking at your images (did you use your new camera for the shots?), for almost quarter of an hour, scrolling up and down, letting my eyes take delight in your outstanding work!

Much love, and take care!

Hugs always,

Dear elaine, here are a few places i often visits to shop for fabric/quilting items in this city of britherly love {KL} :
1. KLCC
2. Bangsar
3. Chinatown
4. Indian town

As for Klang area…i am sorry i can’t suggest any places as i am not familer with Klang area.

I hope the above information helps. I am planning and still in planning stage about having a new column here on my bubble space : “My top 5 fabric/craft shops in this city of brotherly love". I am not sure if its a good column to share but i am working on it.

Love to you!

[Jacqueline]
