Happy 2020.
Time to get back into sewing and blogging for 2020. Decorations are packed away for another year. And I have scared the daylights out of myself by collecting together all the projects needing a finish. I have returned to working on Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. I looked back at my posts and realised I […]
Follow Up Requests.
This is a quick post to answer a couple of questions and follow up on some requests. Jenny and Susan asked for close up pics of the trees with the snow hearts. These are the felt ones. And these are the fabric and felt hearts. These were made with a free pattern from Bunny Hill […]
Merry December.
December seems to be running away very quickly. I thought I had better write a post before it disappears completely. Summer has been a long time coming. The weather has been quite mild except for the rare hot day. But of course that is about to change. We have some very hot days coming this […]
Little Bits.
It is always good to see progress on projects. This quilt is from Jen Kingwell of Amitie and is named Meadow. This is the centre panel. I now have to make the border which consists of 24 applique blocks. Lots of tracing and cutting before any stitching begins. A friend was working with some small […]
A Blue And Orange Finish.
The catch up is continuing with tops waiting to be finished. I think this top was ready in November last year, so it has had to wait nearly a year to be completed. Lots of blue and orange in this one. This quilt started when I saw the bird fabric. It was an end of […]
Donation Quilts – A Joint Effort.
One of my weekly groups is an embroidery session and through it I have met a lot of people and made many friends. Recently one of the ladies brought in a set of 16 embroideries that she had completed several years back but no longer wanted to use – no grandchildren of the right age […]
Gum Leaf Quilt.
It was time to dig out a few UFOs and make a finish. This gum leaf quilt had been started in 2011 so it really deserved to be quilted and finished. Each leaf was made individually with many strips of fabrics which had been stitched together then cut into the leaf shape. The leaves were […]
A Prickly Handful.
As usual, I have found a distraction in between finishing quilts. Here it is in a small bowl. I went to a class at Bear Essence in Tooradin with a group of friends to take a class for this little baby hedgehog. I think the prickly fur is quite delightful. The hedgehog is made to […]
Getting Close!
My McKenna Ryan quilt top is getting close to a finish. The first 7 blocks are sewn together. Not all the applique can be completed until the borders are on but is is good to see it the blocks together. There are two more blocks to add. This is the eighth one. So I am […]
Embroidery And Hexagons.
It feels wonderful being able to get back into a stitching routine. I don’t think I realised how much I missed it, but then I was very busy so it makes sense. I am catching up on many projects started earlier in the year. I have enjoyed getting back to them. These are blocks from […]
