Summer’s End.
Summer’s End sounds like it should be the name of a quaint English village. There I go. Off track and distracted before I even start! Okay, today is officially the last day of Summer for us, but it never feels like it. In fact I think March is one of the best weather months that […]
Catching Up Continues.
I have found a few more projects to work on. They have been waiting for a little while, so deserve some time, now. This is a wool project that had been completed and was waiting for quilting and binding. Considering it only measures 22 by 28 inches, it seems silly that I have waited so […]
Finally February.
It has taken until February for me to finally post a sewing item. I thought I would have had time to do this earlier, but obviously there have been a lot of distractions. But I am now spending time in my lovely sewing room, and definitely enjoying it! This quilt is one of many started […]
Time To Get Back On The Horse. 2026.
I have been away far too long, and really need to get back into a routine. But then, most of last year was thrown into disarray on several occasions, so maybe disarray is my new routine. Not a single stitch has been sewn by me for nearly two months and I am having withdrawal symptoms. […]
A Christmas Catch Up.
I am well behind with reading posts and leaving comments, and that will be the case until the New Year. That will be my catch up time. We have our US side of the family here for the Christmas break. This is a rarity because of the school dates and difficulty with leave. So for […]
Hoops And Quilts.
It is definitely starting to get busy. Have you noticed? I think I was trying to ignore it, but it happened anyway. So in the middle of all that I did get some finishes. Two were UFOs. Hooray! The two hoop projects were embroideries designed by Kasia Jacquot. The first one is named Rebecca and […]
An October Update.
I sometimes think that when October begins we have a starter calling out Ready, Set, Go!. Everything gets busy all of a sudden. Lots of things are happening and there is always something to do. The obvious one for us is Daylight Saving coming in. And Spring seems to have found its feet and the […]
Happy Hexagons.
I have been working away at my hexagon blocks for a while now. They were inspired by Emma Jean Jansen’s Tussie Mussie cushion. I started out small wondering if I would stick with it. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed doing it. Even the hand stitching around each hexagon cluster with the perle […]
Stripes And Hoops.
More like strips than stripes, but either way, it works. These are the last couple of strippies made for donation. I will pass them over in the next few weeks. I will then start up again in January or February, if they still want them. First up, one for the dogs. The piece was given […]
Jungle Doubles.
I found that I still had a couple of panels that needed to be made into quilts, and both had a jungle theme. I played around a little with colours and sizes as they went together. There are eight blocks in this panel, so to make it into nine, I added some fabric in the […]
