Circling Around.
My UFO theme continues. I had quite a few embroideries finished but they sat in the bottom of a tub for far too long. I didn’t want to frame them as I knew that way they would take a lot of space for hanging. Several of them had been presented in simple hoops on their […]
Early Stockings?
Maybe early, maybe late – depending on which Christmas you are aiming for. These stockings had no deadline, so I am saying early. This is a set of four stockings made from a panel, from a long time ago. I can’t remember the manufacturer. The design was lovely and only needed some outline stitching. My […]
Clam Shells And Wool Flowers.
My wool flowers and clam shell piece has made it to the finish line. It has ended up as quite a big larger that I thought – 48 X 21 inches. It is a Wendy Williams pattern designed as a table runner but I will use mine as a wall hanging. It is from her […]
A Lovely Long Weekend.
Australia Day. It is a lovely time to have a long weekend and celebrate our nation. January always ends up being a very busy time in the garden. I love seeing these happy sunflowers. We have been keeping up with berry picking. And jam making. Fresh corn is being picked also. Apricots have been harvested. […]
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 […]
