A Lot Of Years In This One!

It seems like this quilt has been a long time in the making. I think I bought the pattern and quilt kit over 10 years ago. I didn’t get around to starting it until 7 years later. A long wait. Then when I started making it I was only pulling it out once a month […]




A Flimsy In A Flash.

Sewing here at the moment is still mostly taken up with finishing off different bits and pieces. But I did get distracted enough to make a quilt top. I found a little bundle which contained some yardage and two charm packs. It was a line of fabric from many years ago – maybe 10 or […]




Lights And Tunnels.

After working on many projects last year with hardly any finishes, I seem to be finding that they are all now coming to an end within weeks of each other. Hence the light at the end of the tunnel. Or a mad rush. I completed the last block for Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. Last […]




Nearly There.

Two more blocks finished for the Dancing Chickens. Flying Pigs top. Only one more to go so I am nearly there. They are such fun blocks. I will be sorry to get to the end but I do have the Christmas one waiting for me from Hatched and Patched, so won’t be concerned for too […]




Sunny New Year.

A New year. Time to start a fresh year of blogging. Lots of sunny days already. And these beauties opened to start the New Year as well. Some stitching has been happening. This is the second panel of Over The Hill (Wendy Williams). I have really enjoyed selecting fabrics for this quilt – the deck […]




Farewell, 2020.

I think this message from the little gnome in our garden says it all when it comes to 2020. It has been such a different year, but not all was bad. Let’s hope we can all start off fresh in the New Year. I have positive news about my blog. My wonderful web master (son) […]




December, 2020.

2020. Certainly a year that will not be forgotten in a hurry. Here in Victoria, Australia we are having a lovely December. After our total lock down we have experienced 60 days without community transmission. That has been a wonderful achievement and well worth all those stay at home days. With our new found freedom […]




Nearly Missed November.

With everything that has been happening I nearly missed November. Talk about getting in by the skin of your teeth! It has been busy here for two reasons. Firstly, the lovely weather has arrived and a lot of time has been spent outside, mostly in the garden. Sun and rain means everything is growing fast. […]




An October Post.

I realised October was getting away from me and if I didn’t post now I would miss it completely. I have been working away on lots of bits and pieces, but only one was a finish. I am steadily getting the blocks done for the Sue Spargo quilt, Homegrown. Lots more to go but a […]




The Wool Theme Continues.

I may as well make the most of working with wool while the temps stay low. Spring has given us some lovely days but it is not getting hot anytime soon. I have added to my baby gift supply with a couple of sleeping rabbits. The design is by Twins Knitting Patterns, the same designer […]
