PATCHED QUILT

I've been trying to promote patched quilts to others recently. These patched quilts are hand made and not machine made. My aunt made these and she has been doing patched quilts when she has free time which is actually everyday. She's single and working at home doing patched quilts. These are actually a few of her outcome. There are more but I haven't upload some of the pictures yet. And there are some more coming soon. People keep on asking me why it is expensive. Well, to be honest, it is not an easy task. And it takes at least a month to complete the whole set if you are committed and dedicated. And to have a good quality patched quilt, it has to be done by hand and not machine. Seriously, hand made patched quilt last longer than machine made.

My aunt is using the left over cloth that my aunt Annie (so-called home tailor,Sibu) gave after she has completed making clothes and the left over is not being used. So she will send it over to my aunt here in Mukah. Usually the left over cloth are from Baju Kurung cloth. Very colourful and still new. Yesterday, I noticed that my aunt is making new pattern of patched quilt. I'm not sure what pattern is she making this time but I'll upload some more once I take pictures of her patched quilts... If you are interested to have one, you can give me call.... (019-8578033)

Price can be negotiate. But I'm telling you it's not cheap. Coz it's not an easy task k. I've tried mine and to tell you honestly, not that easy to complete the whole set of patched quilt even if it single size. If you are not dedicated and committed, don't hope that you can complete it within a month. Maybe it will take years for you to complete it or perhaps never at all. hehehehe... Below are some other patched quilts that she has made. Feel free to view... 

Pink is the Colour....

Wow.... hehehe... Love all the gadgets. Well, specifically gadget in pink. hehehehe.... That's my C3 hand phone. I didn't buy it. It's a Christmas gift given by my boyfriend. So sweet. Well, I didn't ask him purposely to buy it for. My previous phone was not functioning so that time I was using my father's and sometime my uncle's hand phone while I'm waiting to get myself a new one. I was thinking of buying simple and cheap hand phone. Then when I look at the advertisement about C3 I fell in love with it. But as I was saying, I was not planning to buy it. quite expensive though. Then I told him that I'm planning to buy pink C3. But then I will have to wait for another 2 months. Then he went around Kuching and surveyed the hand phone. But I didn't know that he will buy it for me. I remembered that he gave this phone as early Christmas gift on the 13th of November 2010. So sweet and thoughtful of him. I'm touched. Bak kata Tina fall in for the 100th time. hehehehe.... (I know you are going to read this)

Pen drive was also a gift from him. Sony Walkman mp3 is my latest gadget that I bought last month after attending pre-marriage course in St. Joseph, Kuching.... Bought it at Tun Jugah Sony Centre. Love it so much. The best thing bout it is I don't have to worry bout where to put it if I go to gym and when I'm not wearing pants with pocket. Well, more to come soon... Still surveying new laptop. In my mind, Sony Vaio (Pink colour). Love it so much....

FLIGHTLESS BIRD AMERICAN MOUTH

FLIGHTLESS BIRD

I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, American mouth
Big pill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue

Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, American mouth
Big pill stuck going down

 

Love this song a lot. The first time I heard  this song is through 'The Twilight' movie... Edward and Bella were dancing for their prom night. Romantic yet solemn... I don't really understand the lyric of this song actually but I think it's about love. But not really sure what it mean. I'm not that poetic enough to read between the line of the lyric. I think I need someone who is major in literature to help me to understand this song. It sounds interesting but can't really figure out anything from each line of the lyric.

 

Since I have a cousin who recently graduated her master in Literature, I surely can ask her later. Sure she can read between the line. I'm not really good in Literature. Not even my favourite subject when I was in university. Even though it is actually one of major paper but then I managed to get only B. I think the only time I got A for literature is during Ms. Rihana Mydin class. I think that was my second year of degree year. I was quite shock actually that I got A for literature. Well, the reason why I got A was, during that year, we were doing preparation to teach students literature and we learnt about novel, short stories and also easy poem. I think that's why I got A. If my lecturer to give this type of song for me to read between the line, I may not be able to do it. 

 

Anyway, will be posting few more songs that I love just to share with all of you how I feel and how certain songs are very symbolic to me and my life. Will share all of you books that I've read and also few of the recipe that I've tried. And will upload more pics as well especially on cooking. Now I've not been doing a lot but will try to do my best to do something during the weekend if not away again... Ok... I think that's all. Will continue more later. Adios...
