Adding To The Collection.
I am getting towards the end of this burst of donation quilts. The collection is steadily growing. I will now get back to a few of my own quilts, which are waiting impatiently on the sidelines. This little lap quilt is made from leftover charm squares from the Sherbet Pips fabric line. I had to […]
A Little Catching Up.
I had set aside several projects prior to Christmas, but now I have decided they need finishing. First up, I completed the 4th, 5th and 6th of the Christmas decorations from Fig’n’Berry Creations. They are a delightful set. Here they are together. Next up, I need to move on with the centre block from my […]
Bird Houses And Teddies.
I have continued to make more of the Strippie quilts with fabric that has waited patiently in my stash. I will get a few more made for donations, in between some of my own quilts. This one stood out with its bright colours and bird houses. The birdhouse fabric and the flowers on the blue […]
Abandoned.
This quilt is made using the Tim Holtz fabric called Abandoned. It is made using 10 fat quarters using a design named Geneva. Very simple and basic but making the most of the fabrics. That made the quilt 48 by 60, but I felt it needed to be bigger, so I chased up some more […]
Surfs Up!
The title of the post makes sense as soon as you see the fabric in the quilt. Surfboards aplenty! This is the sort of quilt that is perfect for a child who loves the beach and goes surfing. I have used the strippie idea again for the centre of the quilt. That lets me keep […]
Quilt Monopoly.
There are so many monopoly variations that I wonder if there is one dedicated to quilting. I wouldn’t be surprised!. A friend recently gifted me some monopoly themed fabric to make a donation quilt. The width of the pieces led me to make a Strippie quilt as per Mary’s instructions. Click on her name for […]
Wonky Photos.
I have been trying to get a couple of photos of this quilt, but the weather has either been too bright or too windy. So I resorted to taken a photo inside. To do that I have to hang it across the open doors of a cupboard. Sounds simple, but, no. It makes all the […]
A Fresh New Year 2025.
It has been lovely to have a quiet break since Christmas and over the New Year period. A chance to slow down and recharge is always appreciated. I have especially enjoyed some sewing time without any deadlines. And some knitting while watching TV. Happily, this has lead to some finishes. I had a fat quarter […]
Nearly There.
We are nearly ready for the New Year. But there is still a little Christmas to catch up on first. In fact, we haven’t celebrated Christmas with our family yet. Our granddaughter was unwell on Christmas eve, so we had to put off our visit. We will instead catch up in a couple of days. […]
Two More.
These were easy ones. Family members were after two more Christmas quilts to hang on walls. I had a couple of panels with small blocks, so was able to have a bit of a play with layouts. The first one needed to be long and narrow. I always find it tricky working with panels as […]
