Seeing Stars, Again.
Back to the UFO pile and some quilting! I was able to finish this quilt and complete the binding. The fabric is from the range Countdown To Christmas by Sweetwater. I wanted to make the star shape the negative space in this one so use the dots on a cream background. Same fabric in the […]
Hexies And Rabbits.
No quilt pictures today – but I am in the middle of quilting another one! Today is all about yarn and crochet hooks. I have two finished items. The first is a small blanket – probably lap sized throw. Lots of crocheted hexagons made first and then all crocheted together with white yarn. It took […]
Sudoku Quilt.
Another week, another quilt. I am trying my best to catch up with UFOs. I received this as a kit from the lovely ladies at Sewing Connection. This quilt came together very easily, especially as I enjoy Sudoku puzzles. The layout is based on the 9 by 9 Sudoku puzzle. There are nine 5 inch […]
Quilts For Boys.
Choosing fabrics to make into quilts for children is always very tricky, especially when those children get to an age where they like to be particular about what goes in their room. Our grandie knew the design he wanted but not the fabric. My solution was to point our grandson to a few quilt fabric […]
Completed Cats.
There are a lot of lovely pieced animal blocks around and Elizabeth Hartman has a great collection of them. I have adapted her cat mini quilt to make a full sized bed quilt. This is one of her easier blocks but it still involved a little bit of fiddling around. Every cat block is a […]
Bow Ties.
Some quilts need time to sit for a while before the right plan comes along to finish them. This Bow Tie quilt was one of those. I really didn’t know what to do with the white empty spaces. So it sat for several years until I came up with a plan and had the skill […]
Three Trees.
Another bundle of tiny cushions has been completed and this time they come in threes. The design itself, from Marg Low, has three trees. And then I made three cushions and played with each of the designs. The first one was done with hand embroidery. The second was with fabric stitched on by machine. And […]
Too Early For Easter?
It is probably not too early to be planning for Easter, although, like many, I am always surprised at seeing hot cross buns in the supermarkets the day after Christmas. I have finished a little Easter mini from Anni Downs. The stitching was done last year but I had not added the borders and done […]
Animals Everywhere.
I am still not sure about what is working with my blog and what is not, but here I go regardless. Today’s theme appears to be animals – purely by accident. First up, Michelle’s lovely patterns have been turned into a cushion. It was going to be a banner but I liked this better. I […]
A Pretty Bouquet.
In a post before Christmas I had finished an embroidery piece. It had been in the works for over 6 months. I was able to pick it up from the framer’s this morning and am very happy with the result. A close up. The second photo is a good indication of the colours. Such a […]
