Rabbits And Birds.
When I first saw this fabric range I really liked it and bought several fat quarters. Of course this creates a problem because I had no particular pattern in mind so then had to work out how to use the fabric. I had seen this layout a while back and thought it would suit. It […]
Chicks And Dinosaurs.
It has taken a while, but I have managed to collect a good range of wool to be able to use in applique projects. It is becoming easier to purchase here in Australia. So my first play with this technique is Bertie’s Spring which is a Bonnie Sullivan pattern. There are four panels, so obviously […]
Hippity, Hoppity.
I think Autumn has finally decided to arrive here, just in time for Easter. We are still having warm days but the nights are much cooler and that is delightful. No sign of leaves changing colour however. A small candle mat has been completed for Easter. I am running out of places for display so […]
Monkey Business.
There is not lot of quilting happening here – probably due to the hot and humid weather we are having late into the season. But I have been working with some smaller items. The first finish is a table runner from Bird Brain Designs made in wool felt. It is quite long and will easily […]
A Pocketful Of Pink And Purple.
Pink, purple and gold were the requested colours to go into this quilt. Just right for a little girl. Each of those little bags on each block is actually a pocket. They concertina out from the quilt. This quilt will hang on the end of a bunk bed. It can be made any particular size […]
A Terrain Finish.
It is a big finish for me. I am not normally a maker of big quilts, but this one had a mind of its own and grew. It ended up at 80 inches wide and 95 inches long. It sits very nicely on an old fashioned brass double bed. It has been made using a […]
Happy Australia Day
Beautiful weather here for Australia Day. It makes it very easy to get out and enjoy the day. In fact, the whole weekend has been pleasant. We have spent much of it in Geelong as that city hosted the Festival of Sails. I am not the sailor in the family so I did lots of […]
UFO Progress.
It always seems to be a regular start of the year event – attacking the UFOs. For me it is probably because quilts get put aside in the lead up to Christmas as there are other priorities for the festive season. January is very relaxed and there are no sewing commitments so the UFOs get […]
Welcome To 2016.
Welcome to another New Year. I hope it has started on the right foot for everyone. I have decided to do a Spring Clean in Summer. I must be crazy, but it all started when I was ready to put away the Christmas decorations. I thought it was time to be ruthless and discard all […]
A Delightful Variation On Stitching.
I have ended the year with some lovely time spent with friends sharing similar interests. We went to see the film The Dressmaker on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I then downloaded the book to my Kindle and read it. Then yesterday we drove over to the other side of Melbourne to Barwon Park Mansion […]
