A Bittersweet Christmas.
I have had a few personal emails and have answered most questions but sometimes it is easier to do a post and explain. As many will know I had been quite concerned about the fires in our state. Yes, we had a lovely Christmas with our family. But at the same time we had news […]
Merry Christmas Wishes.
The big day is tomorrow! I think everything is ready. I plan to stay well away from any shops today. I made very simple cards for this year. Soft colours and a little embossing seems to have worked quite well. Changed the papers for the trees for a bit of variety. And the tag decoration. […]
A Sleigh Of Santas.
For most of this year I have been working on making dozens of these Santas for Christmas Gifts. I belong to lot of groups and there are quite a few gift exchanges at this time of year. I also wanted some for family, too. This photo probably shows half of the ones I made. […]
Ready For A Christmas Quilt.
This quilt has been in the works for quite a while, so it is great to see it finally finished and ready to hang for the festive season. This is a Viv’s Creations pattern by Viv Robinson. It is made using raw edge applique. I also chose to do a lot of the embroidery with […]
Workshop And Finishes.
December has raced up very quickly and I am sure it will speed up even more as we get closer to Christmas. Good luck with all your Christmas shopping and sewing. I had the good fortune to attend a wonderful workshop with Keryn of Christmas Creations. A group of four of us worked hard in […]
Tricky Colours.
Sometimes the camera and the colours just do not want to work together. So the colours in these pictures look very washed out. Time to use your imagination. This quilt is from a pattern by Lisa Cantley of Fig’N’Berry Creations and is called The Snowmen are Gathering. I have shown the individual stitcheries in previous […]
Quilt Calculations.
Getting photos has been very tricky of late. Although the days have been warm they have also been windy or wet. Yesterday we had crazy thunderstorms, but in between we had beautiful sunshine. I managed to keep my quilt undercover and took shots in between storm fronts. Yes, I had to squeeze in around the […]
Yarn, Thread And Paper.
I have had my head down working on getting some quilting done. Also working on the the bindings. In between I have been playing with extremely varied projects. I finished off a Midori type travel notebook that I had started in book making class. The cover is canvas that has been painted, stitched and decorated. […]
Back To Red And White.
It doesn’t matter what I seem to do, I always come back to red and white in my quilts. So, here is another one. Not the best light or angle, but it gives a reasonable idea. It is a combination of single squares and 4 patch blocks. Lots of fabrics are the reverse pattern of […]
Spring, Whales And WIP.
We seem to have jumped rapidly from Winter to Summer here with temps in the 30s. But there are quite a few signs to let us know it really is still Spring. Our ornamental pears are in full blossom and the bees are loving it. Even when driving around the countryside there is colour everywhere […]
