Bunches Or Bouquets.
I have been working on using up left over fabric from particular collections. And I was inspired by Nancy’s ( Grace and Peace) use of a particular pattern, Honey Bouquet (Villa Rosa Designs). My aim was to use up left over fabric from Leesa Chandler. These are the three quilts I have made so far. […]
New And Old Collections.
I have a new little Easter collection – this delightful group of felt Easter eggs. These have all been made using designs from Needle Finery, Elegant eggs. They are all made from wool felt and appliqued with DMC. Just out of interest, does anyone know of the origins of the designs with the rabbit carrying […]
Working On Finishes.
The blocks for this quilt were made back in 2011. I finished a larger quilt with these blocks in 2012. I put a lot of the leftover blocks aside until later that year, then turned them into a smaller quilt top. And that’s the way it stayed until this month. It was one of my […]
Half Rectangle Triangles.
I have worked often with half square triangles, but have only rarely played with rectangles. When I received this fabric bundle, I thought it was a good chance to see what I could do with the half rectangle triangles. The fabric is called Bloom Wildly by Clothworks and came as 30cm strips. It took a […]
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 […]
