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 […]
March Hares.
There’s always something that makes me think of Alice In Wonderland when I see hares. I am not sure if these are supposed to be rabbits or hares but the ears say hares to me. This is another design from Wendy Williams. It is a block from her Hidden Treasures quilt. I am really not […]
March Fires.
It has been a hot and hair raising start to March in our area. Lightning strikes started several fires in the state park only a few kilometers from where we live. This was the view from the car when I first spotted the smoke. By the time I had arrived home the view had changed […]
Finding Fabric For A Finish.
Quite an alliterative title. But not intended that way. I had completed the three panels for my wall hanging and had auditioned fabrics for the border. Both were tone on tone – one green, one blue. Both were lovely and I was having a hard time deciding. So I took my project to my sewing […]
Summer Sewing.
When you live in or near Melbourne you do get used to the changeable weather. We have already had temps in the 40s this month and our aircon has worked overtime. This week we have returned to cooler days in the low 20s (70s). But today decided to play tricks with us and warmed up […]
A Delightful Menagerie.
This quilt has been a long time coming together.I started the embroideries over two years ago. They are not particularly difficult, but many interruptions came along and it was often put aside. It is good to see all the embroideries completed and to have them now together in a quilt. This is All Creatures Great […]
A Winter Finish On A Very Hot Day.
It is Summer, so hot days should be no surprise. But 40 degrees Celsius is pushing it a bit. Mind you, that is 5 degrees cooler than one day last week. So with all that in mind I finished my Winter scene in wool. Didn’t make me feel cooler but I liked the finish. This […]
