A Finish For Round The Garden Path.
Finally after many months, maybe years, I have finished the embroideries and quilting for Round The Garden Path, a design by Fig,N,Berry. Once the embroideries were complete and the blocks put together, I had a good play with the quilting. Each of the eight outer blocks were quilted in a similar way. I was able […]
Keeping Warm.
Lots of chilly mornings here but we are getting lovely sunshine during the day. All the heating systems are working overtime at night keeping us snug and warm. Perfect weather for these little frosties which are stitched from designs made by Michelle from Michelle Ridgway Designs. These are stitched from Cottage Garden Threads. I plan […]
The Halfway Mark For 2021.
Surprising to think that we are already half way through 2021. Maybe I have been busier than I thought. Although not sure my stitching shows that. We are having some lovely sunny Winter days. Still very cold but great to see the sun shining. After having little opportunity to sew for a month or more, […]
Welcome To Winter.
Brrrr…. . Winter has arrived here. Cold, wet and windy. Good time to stay inside where it is warm and dry. I have been working on my blocks for the Wendy Williams quilt, Over the Hill. Two more blocks have been added. These two blocks are part of the centre row. There are lots of […]
Happy Squares.
Very happy to see another finish. This is not a very big quilt but it is enough to have on your lap for a bit of extra warmth. The size was dictated by the amount of fabric I had – the Japanese indigo prints. I kept going until I had very few scraps left over. […]
Colourful Pinwheels.
Another top has turned into a a completed quilt. The last stitch has gone into the binding and it is ready. The quilt is made of pinwheel blocks, each block using two fabrics. The fabrics came as a charm pack with the addition of a single piece to use in the border. There was even […]
A Colourful Finish.
My finishes have been few and far between lately. Same with posts. And now they will all probably arrive in a rush. That’s the way it often works. I have completed my colourful, woolly flower quilt. Blocks together and binding done. It has been a pleasure to work with the wool for this quilt. It […]
April Catch Up.
Time seems to be flying by with lots to do. Is it because we are all still catching up on things since our long lock downs? I know I am still putting in time with my sewing but progress is slow. I do have a few quilts sandwiched ready for quilting but they are a […]
Autumn Has Arrived.
Our tree out the front has been keeping a calendar and decided that on the first day of March it would start changing colours. It is still a very young Crimson or Scarlet Oak. This is what it looked like a week ago. It has become a much deeper red and this is the colour […]
Chickens And Pigs Finished.
Yippee! My Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs quilt has made it to the finish line. It has been a lovely quilt to work on and I am now looking forward to catching up with Anni Downs next design. Quilting done and binding finished. Lots of fun, quirky blocks in this quilt. They are all entertaining […]
