Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Trellis Work.

Time to catch up again. As always, lots in the works, but not a lot of finishes. But there are several projects ready for completion in the next few days. That seems to be the way it works for me. Everything all at once. This is a quilt called Trellis by Jillily Studio. I started […]




Yarning Away.

Lots of little yarn projects have been worked on and some have even been completed. This little doll is a pattern from Mary Jane’s Tearoom and is called simply a Little Yarn Doll. A lovely pattern to follow and lots of variations included. I have kept to the basics for the first one, giving her […]




Easter, Yay!

We are having a gorgeous Easter long weekend with beautiful sunny days. Even the resident magpie family agree and have been out and about checking out the Autumn foliage. Easter decorating has been happening and there are a couple of new additions. A little crochet bunny. And a new hoop embroidery. This is a Kathy […]




Pandas And Zebras.

The blocks using the Tula Pink panda fabric grew very quickly. I liked how they looked together, but they were not going to get very far on their own. Too small. I was able to find some of the zebra fabric as well, to make alternate blocks. I also managed to find a solid to […]




A Quick March.

Everything seems to be moving along very quickly – including the month of March. I know we are trying to catch up on all we have missed during lock downs and so there are a lot of requests for social activities. But also I think we became very comfortable with the slow pace of lock […]




Lots Of New Starts.

Time to work out what to make next, so I have been trying out a few patterns to see if they are what I want. So, lots of new starts. I started with a test block using the Tula Pink pandas. It was a bit fiddly finding the right size to cut the centre block […]




Yay! I Have A Finish!

I feel like I have been spending a lot of time preparing projects and I know this is worthwhile, but it is always good to get a finish as well. This was an easy finish in the end. I did leave it a little while after the quilt was sandwiched, but once I started, it […]




Getting Projects Moving.

Happy February. The year is moving along. I have been working on several projects and they are close to a finish. I am also spending a lot of time getting the preparation work done for a few more. The trees for The Avenue are completed and are ready to come together. I played with several […]




Happy January 2022.

January is such a great time to be outdoors, but it does mean I forget to blog. Our weather has been mild so far with only a few really hot days, so the garden often calls. But, I have been caught up at times watching the cricket, and now the Australia Open, so some stitching […]




Bringing 2021 To A Close.

The last day of the year crept up a lot quicker than I had expected. But here it is. So before the New Year starts I managed to finish a couple of Christmas projects. These are part of a series of wool stockings designed by Michelle L Palmer. Michelle kindly shares these designs freely each […]
