Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Keeping On Finishing.

Having the time to quilt some flimsies is a wonderful thing. I have completed another quilt that has been waiting patiently for a few months. It is a very simple design but it works so well with these lovely fabrics. I added a background fabric that is cream on white design. Quilting stayed simple – […]




Starting A Happy New Year.

Happy New Year. It is always good to start with a holiday! The Christmas/New Year break has been relatively quiet so I have been able to get back into some sewing. As is often the case, I had some Christmas UFOs to complete. So I got down to quilting and binding. A finish!! I cut […]




Small Finishes.

In the middle of all that is busy at Christmas, I have been able to achieve a couple of small finishes. This is another of Marg Low’s lovely felt ornaments. I always want to make several of each of these. Maybe if all is quiet after Christmas. I have finished stitching some of Michelle Ridgway’s […]




Busy Chrissy The 2nd.

Apologies to those who have received this post already. I am re-posting it to see if I can sort out some glitches from Tuesday. Cheers, Karen. I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. […]




Busy Chrissy.

I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. This is the crazy week for me. Three Christmas parties down and three more to go this week. All the cards and parcels that need to […]




Spring Flowers.

The flowers I have referred to are not the real kind. They are embroidered. This is the embroidery I have been working on for ages. It is finally completed. I wanted a photo before it is framed. It is quite tricky once there is glass in between. All the flowers are embroidered using one strand […]




Christmas Crazy.

A quilt finish!! Yay! I had a pack of turnovers and some leftover fabric from the Crazy Eights range. I did a bit of juggling and was able to make this lap/wall size quilt. I headed outside for photos but really battled with the wind. This is the best I could do. It is a […]




Felt Ornaments Again.

The collection continues to grow. There are more felt ornaments added to the collection. First up – a reverse in colour from last week. These are white cats with red stitching. Hope they look good on the tree.   Next up I started on some trees. The red ones are first and I am currently […]




Christmas Plans For November.

The horses are off and racing but I am happy to watch the big race on TV – Melbourne Cup. It is overcast and cool so I hope all the race goers stay warm and dry. I have decided it is time to catch up with a few Christmas plans and make some decorations. When […]




Sweet Baby Stripes.

No co-operation from the weather today so some of the photos are a little dull. But they still show how the quilt looks. It does look very sad and sorry in this photo. Hopefully the close ups give a better impression. This quilt is made with two and a half inch strips. Most are from […]
