Today is a special day for someone I've known for a long time, he's marrying his sweetheart on 090909! Congrats!
patchwork or quilting was my ever favorite pastime or rather was my favorite way to generate extra income. I had several patchwork quilted bedding for myself when I was in Kuching, a complete set of a bed sheet for queen size bed, few pillow cases and a pink blanket, I loved my bed to bits and there was always something very special about the quilt pattern especially my pink blanket that literally warms my heart. Unfortunately, when I was away on a holiday, I left my bedroom unlocked, as usual. I came back from my holiday and found my pink blanket missing. Apparently, I was told we had guests to the house when I was away, my bedroom was used by one of the guests.
There were times, out of enthusiasm and passion for patchwork, I even made a few baby blankets for colleagues and friends' kids and newborn which in return, I received complements here and there. It's one time consuming work but to be honest, the fun is always there.
To have guests, accommodating relatives and close friends to the house during school holidays or just a visit is our Asian culture. That's why we often have spare blankets, fordable beds or sleep mats at home for guests. Among many patchwork quilted blankets we have, I found this (pic) extra ordinary quilted blanket made of patching pieces of 'Perguruan Rajang' print fabric. I believe they were from the training teachers' baju kurung (Malay traditional female costume) for the Perguruan Rajang, Maradong or Rajang Teacher Training College students my mom sewed for some of them once upon a time.patchwork or quilting was my ever favorite pastime or rather was my favorite way to generate extra income.

My niece finds this picture funny:)
Not to waste whatever there is, she turned the small fabric into a quilted blanket dual layer with cotton fabric to cover the other side of the blanket. It warms me up at night!
