Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Making Progress.

Bits and pieces are starting to come together. Always good to see progress. The last block for Tinsel has been completed. So now the nine blocks are ready to go together. There is then more applique to go on to overlapping blocks. Plenty to keep me busy with this project. I have also manged to […]




Christmas, Easter And Winter.

That’s a few of the holidays and a season covered! Christmas refers to the Sue Spargo embroideries for Tinsel. I have two more finishes and only one more block to go. Of course that is not the end as there is also a lot of work on the border. I am leaving some of the […]




Over the Hill And Far Away.

This quilt is a design by Wendy Williams named Over The Hill. When I first saw it, the curved backgrounds for the blocks took my interest straight away. And of course I love working with the wool felts. It was easy to work on as the design was broken into smaller sections, making it very […]




Short And Sweet.

As the title says, this is a very short post. I am working on several baby quilts, trying to collect a pile for friends who are having grandchildren. They can give them to the family, or keep them to use at their home when the new grandies visit them. This is the latest finish. This […]




One Sock, Two Sock.

The title makes it easy to work out what I have been busy making. Socks of course. But not the average, run of the mill sort. These are Norwegian Rainbow socks. These are knitted in a mix of 8 ply yarns. A friend travelled through many countries a few years back, especially Norway and Finland. […]




A Baby Quilt.

Lots of babies are on the way for friends in the form of grandchildren. So a few little quilts will be needed as gifts. I thought it would be easier to make several at once. So this is the first one. This is an Amy Bradley panel from way back. It was simply waiting for […]




Small Things This Time.

These little faces have been watching me for a while and I think that was a way of reminding myself I had to get them, and their clothes, finished. They are a knit pattern from ak traditions. I have made some other patterns from them a long time ago, but found these and thought they […]




Moose On The Loose.

A moose quilt was requested by our eldest grandie. The family spent time at Yellowstone National Park last year and the moose was the standout animal. So it was no surprise when that was requested as the theme for her next quilt. I didn’t have to search too far as I had purchased a pattern […]




Getting Ready For Christmas.

Christmas never really feels like it is far away and maybe I will get a few projects done early. These are projects that have been on the go since last year, so maybe they will be in time for Christmas 2023. Last year I started the Sue Spargo BOM, Tinsel. Because of delays with mail […]




Welcome, 2023.

Summer is in full swing here in the New Year, 2023. We have started having our hot days at last, but the garden is surviving and so are we. There has not been a lot of quiet time, but I have managed to get some quilting done. This was a simple quilt with Aussie animals […]
