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 […]
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 […]
Mostly Christmas Bits.
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 […]
