Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Neptune.

I think that is the name of the fabric in this quilt. I know I bought it quite some time ago, maybe 10 years? Not totally sure. I found a pattern designed for layer cakes, but also altered for charm packs. That was what I had in my pile and thankfully there was enough to […]




Paris Again.

Paris the fabric, not the city. Although I would enjoy being in Paris. I have been using the left over Dance in Paris fabric. I made another quilt over two years ago but still had a fair bit left from the fat quarter bundle. There was enough to make this quilt. It is called Fat […]




Welcome To Winter.

Brrr. It is a holiday weekend here as well as the first weekend of Winter. I think my holiday will be staying at home and keeping warm. My trees are still in Autumn, but with the winds we are having, I am sure the leaves will be gone very soon. My taxi driving requests are […]




Catching Up, Again!

I feel a bit like a stranger who has been gone too long. I know I have been busy, but hadn’t realised I had missed a whole month. Plenty of medical issues have kept me busy and none of them were mine. Lots of time has been spent in waiting rooms and next to hospital […]




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 […]
