Hand Made Magazine
Posted on: 11/9/2005
I am so happy that I have received the stuff I asked my friend, Karen, to help in buying for me in Taiwan. This time, I have bought 2 Hand Made magazines (plus two books) and learnt that it's already passed it's 2 year anniversary. Time really fly past. I can still remember how grateful I felt when I knew there would be a quilting magazine published by Chinese people. They recently created a web page, although we can't see any projects' pictures there, we can still find some information i.e. Talk include some pictures of the projects submitted by the readers and link 2 have some web page addresses of Taiwanese quilting teachers and even Hongkongese teachers as well.
There are a few projects that I really love in these two issues but this wall quilt is my favorite. I can easily find old gentlemen and lady appeared in projects here but not with this traditional chinese dress style. This wall quilt is appeared in issue #9 p.87, an article talked about "???"teacher and her students' quilting projects exhibition (I seems can't find Miss Lin's web page address). I hope when I have my 20th wedding anniversary that I would be able to make this nice wall quilt.
Also, I found that in issue #10 p.30-31 “???” Quilting Classroom's teachers and students' butterfly pattern projects are so beautiful.
| About me |
| In year 2001, I discovered that |
| there was a quilting TV Show |
| called "Simply Quilt" in HGTV |
| channel that inspired me to start |
| quilting. |
| It was not so easy in the process |
| of self learning but later I |
| discovered a magazine called |
| "Quiltmaker" which has a lot of |
| patterns that I can use from it. |
| At the year end of 2003, I |
| started to self-learning Chinese |
| typing then I discovered from |
| the internet that there was a |
| Taiwan quilting group called |
| "Happy Quilting Group" which |
| was organized by a lady |
| named May. |
| After joining the group then I |
| have made some small projects |
| i.e. cup, doll and tool bag etc. |
