Little Things Grow.
Happy October. We have been making the most of our Spring weather with lots of time outside and in the garden. We took down some huge branches overhanging a work shed and our timing was perfect as the next day we had strong winds – over 100kph – that did a lot of damage across […]
Another Christmas Finish.
Finishing a quilt is easy when they are smaller wall hangings. I was able to quilt this one in no time and then finish off the binding in the morning. This is the one by Natalie Bird of Birdhouse Designs called Christmas Blessings. I showed it recently as a flimsy. Thankfully it is not that […]
Spring Bunny, Birds And Flowers.
Back again, thanks to a heads up from Mary. And sorry to anyone who tried to comment and couldn’t with the last post. There was a gremlin in the mix but thankfully my amazing computer whiz (son) fixed it. I am very grateful for that. On to all things sewing. I had shown Bertie’s Spring […]
Red And green Mixed Blocks.
A mixture of reds, greens and creams has led to this quilt. I had been wanting to make blocks which were scrappy and could use fabrics from my stash. I was originally working on blocks for two separate quilts, but realised with a little tweaking I could combine them into one larger quilt. I started […]
A Santa Flimsy.
I am steadily getting myself back into a sewing routine. After having 3 weeks with a house full it takes a little bit of adjusting to get used to the quiet. I have made plenty of clothes for various dolls for our visiting grandies, but this is the first of my projects I have returned […]
Snow And Snow.
I have continued to work on my collection of snowies and managed to recently finish this one for May. I was then looking back through my posts and realised that I had not posted a photo for the April/Easter snowie. That’s better. I am now up to date. It has stayed quite cold here so […]
Little Pillows.
It is a very busy time here, but I have still managed a couple of finishes. These are small six inch pillows. Little pieces of wool felt on a cotton background. Then a few added embroidery stitches in perle cotton. Too easy. Okay. I am off to play with grandies. Cheers, Karen Save
Completed Blocks.
I need to do a little blog house keeping first. Linda, for some reason my replies to you keep bouncing back. Not sure why. I also have had a few anonymous comments on the last 4 posts and I am sorry but I can’t reply to those either. I have tried to work out who […]
Testing, 1, 2, 3.
Yes, I am testing with this post. I need to know all is working with our internet. We have had huge issues with Telstra. A big outage in our area – no internet or landline for a full week. I can accept that a cable was damaged and that it takes time to repair. What […]
A Yarn.
It has been perfect weather for knitting – cold and wet. Staying inside where it is warm and being able to watch Wimbledon and Tour de France has helped, too. I have been able to finish this sweet little pinafore dress. It has been made with a lovely yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills. It is […]
