Another Two.
Our cold weather is a perfect time for knitting. I am surprised at being able to leave my quilting but the knitting needles have called. Here is the next addition to the possum scarf collection. It looks very warm and snuggly. And the last one. I think this one is a tiger possum. I am […]
Christmas Starting in June?
Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse has a lovely Christmas quilt design called Christmas Blessings. It has four applique blocks and some pieced blocks. I have completed two of the applique blocks. I have chosen to do raw edge applique for these and I have hand embroidered the words and decorations. There are some stars to […]
More Bertie.
We have had a long weekend here, so I put my head down and made dozens of half square triangles. These are used for the sashings and border for the Bertie quilt. The end result is that the top is finished. It has been windy but I managed to get a nearly still picture. The […]
Bird And Possum.
A quick post for today. Bertie has kept me busy and now the final block is done. Oops. Just realised there is a button to be added. (That’s the bonus of photos – seeing mistakes or missing parts!). All the blocks are now done so I need to start all the HSTs that are used […]
Third Time Lucky!!
I do love technology – except when it doesn’t work. I obviously spoke too soon on my last post. But now my blog has stopped disappearing, will allow photos to load, and will now allow comments to be made – and doesn’t have the code any more. Big thanks to Tim for sorting all this […]
Fernhill Is Finished.
It looks like everything with my blog is back in action. The previous post went up, then after a day my whole blog disappeared. Apparently my website had something that was not compatible with WordPress updates and this created an error. Thankfully all has been rectified now – thanks, Tim! After a long, long time […]
Scrap Logs And Woolly Jumpers.
I know I have commented in recent posts how we seem to have had an extended Summer, so it will come as no surprise when I say that Winter has finally hit. I think it really hits home when the mornings are cold enough for the heater to go on. Definitely time for slippers. I […]
Bears, Possums And Flowers.
This really is gong to be an all sorts post for today. It has been an enjoyably busy time time with several workshops and little travel squeezed in as well. We spent a few days in the Bendigo and Maldon region last week. We managed to dodge the windy days and had several delightful sunny […]
Birthdays And Bertie.
The second Bertie block has been completed and I have prepared the third, ready for stitching. I am enjoying working with the wool and it has also made me realise where the gaps are in my stash. That’s a good thing because now I can focus on the colours and patterns I need rather that […]
Tigers And AQC.
Football season started here several weeks ago and it turns out that our 4yo grandson needed a hat and scarf to support his team. The lovely part is he has chosen his team purely because of the animal emblem representing it – a tiger. So now it appears he will be a Richmond supporter. When […]
