Aussie Animal Quilt Finish.
Finally a post with some sewing in it. I think I had to go back to May for the last entry with some stitching and a finish. I have been able to finish the Aussie animal quilt for our granddaughter to use on her bed when she visits our home. Quilting and binding finally done. […]
Finally – A Sewing Room To Use – And A Word Of Warning.
If my blog posts are anything to go by, it looks like I have dropped off the face of the earth. And as far as sewing goes it is quite true. About the only stitching that has been done was at sewing groups and classes. All my time at home has been setting up the […]
A Very New Room.
A new room to be used as a sewing studio has been a dream for a long time. Recently we decided to bite the bullet and build an extension to the house. We were aware that not everyone wants a sewing room so we made sure it could serve another purpose for a prospective buyer […]
Back From A Big Break.
After seven weeks it is time to get back to looking after the blog and writing some posts. We have had a lovely break spending four weeks with our family in Charleston, South Carolina. We had HOT weather and high humidity but that did not stop us getting out and about. We celebrated a couple […]
Lots Of Animals.
The Aussie animal blocks have come together to make a quilt top. There are still no eyes but that will happen when the quilting is done. This is the Land Down Under pattern from the Red Boots Quilt Company. I was also able to stitch the banner together that was in my last post. All […]

Lots of Christmas projects are being worked on and some even finished. It must be the colder weather that makes me think Christmas. Who knows? A few little decorations have been finished. I made some of these last year, but gave them all away, so figured I should make a few to keep. I also […]
May Begins.
Today seems to be the first chance to stay at home for quite a while and I am appreciating the quiet and slow pace of it. A lovely chance to post on the blog, read a few comments and start some stitching. First up a wool mat finish. It is by Buttermilk Basin and is […]
Apple Harvest.
Most of my posts of late are embroideries and stitcheries. I am working on several quilts but none are near completion as yet. So this is a mixed post in that it is embroidery but is part of a quilt. This is the first block for a design from Fig N Berry named Round The […]
Stitching Along In April.
Stitching along slowly. Not a lot of big finishes, but several small ones. This is the second block for Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. I have also completed the February blocks for the Gail Pan BOM. I have nearly completed the March blocks so I am not too far behind. School holidays have started here […]
A Cotton Crochet finish.
Back in November I was working on a crochet blanket which contained a variety of blocks. I was distracted when one of the colourways really appealed to me as a possibility for a full blanket. So of course I went off on a tangent and made a block to try it out. The more it […]
