Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Keeping Busy.

Welcome Spring. It has been lovely to get outside in the sunshine over the last week. But there has still been plenty of time to fit in some stitching, too. Three of these little friends have been put together. I tuck these away for gifts. They are an easy project to have on hand. I […]




Wool And More Wool.

Working with wool is a delight in Winter. It always feels cosy and warm. First up is another knitted finish. This is a cardigan for our granddaughter. This is made with a wool from Bendigo. I sent a photo through to her when it was finished and had a selection of buttons grouped by colour […]




Colourful Gum Nuts.

Although I am making several quilts in lock down, this probably represents the situation best of all. It shows how I had to make do with what was here. I started off with a collection of fat quarters of each of the fabrics. I found the gum nut fabric at a local craft show then […]




Pelican Progress.

Okay. I am getting my head around Stage 4 lock down here in Greater Melbourne. There is a lot to keep track of but for us I suppose it is still stay home, don’t visit anyone and wear a mask if you have to go out. This time round we have a big stoppage of […]




Pink And Green Bricks.

Before I jump into showing the quilt, I want to let you know that the winners of the Blog Hop have been selected. I have contacted both recipients and their patterns are on the way. Congratulations to Marilyn in Utah and Maureen in Ontario. And thanks you to all who joined in the hop and […]

Huge thanks to Carole for getting this started. Okay, let’s jump into the tutorial. To those who know my blog it is […]




What A Week!

It sure has been a mixed bag this week. Let’s start with the sewing. This is a sweet and simple baby quilt for a little one due to arrive in a couple of weeks. A special connection with our family. The panels came in pairs so I combined two to make a square quilt. Love […]




Half Way.

It is odd to think that in a couple of days we will be half way through 2020. Time flies regardless of the way the year is unfolding. That is the limit of my navel gazing. On to the craft projects! I am keeping on with my 2019 Gail Pan BOM. July is completed. Now […]




A Winter Finish.

The first day of June saw temperatures drop here so we really knew that Winter had arrived. Coats, hats, gloves and scarves all came out. So, on that basis it was timely that I had finished my crochet blanket. This is a pattern from Attic 24 called Sweet Pea. It is a very simple design […]




Small Steps.

Work is continuing on UFOs but in small steps. The kangaroos are stitched down and ready for their day at the beach. There are lots of embellishments to go on this block, but not until after quilting. Should have ironed it, too. I was also able to complete another block and add the hexies for […]
