Oh Happy Day!

New Kookykutz Logo and label!



Happened to chance upon a small bookshop at the mall and found that they were carrying an adorable line of handmade baby items (can checkout their website www.spinkie.com ) and said to myself, "Hey, I can definitely do that".

Anyway. inspired by this, I decided to do a little branding of my own stuff (for a more professional look) and got someone to design a new logo. Its an updated color version of the 2 birds which I used to hand print on organic twill tape. Haven't quite decided if I am going to invest in a woven label, or simply DIY on printable fabric. Decisions, decisions...

Even have a shop front done for Etsy. Now the trick is to start producing enough stuff of sufficient quality to start selling :) Akan Datang!

Keep Moving Quilt is completed!

After months of procrastination and fretting over fabric combination, design and size, the Keep Moving quilt is finally done!

Started with the applique pieces first.
 
Here are the individual blocks, and the endless decisions on placement to avoid crowding or repeated patterns affecting the balance.
 Didn't get a picture of the completed quilt top alone, but most proud of the machine binding for both sides. Saved loads of time, not to mention the risk of not ever completing it, if had to do it by hand! Never again. Thanks to tutorial by RPQ.

Then Ta-DA! Presenting the Keep Moving Quilt. Hope you and baby enjoy it S :) 


 Decided to do a different backing, but still keeping with the cars and truck theme. Well in truth, also didn't have coordinates large enough. Well you can always change it up anyhow.
