Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Some Bunnies.

Easter is sneaking up quickly. There is so much chocolate in our shops at the  moment. It is very hard to walk by! There are a few bunnies multiplying in our house. I made one last year and now there are four.   These are a pattern from Melly and Me. They are made from […]




Marvellous March.

I can’t believe how quickly the leaves are starting to change colour now that March is well under way. Even when we are still having warm days – tomorrow is forecast to be over 30c. And that Easter Bunny is just around the corner, too. I had started this Easter stitchery last year, but, as […]




Paw Prints All Over My Quilts!

Yes, there are paw prints all over my quilt but I am very happy to see them there. This is another UFO done and dusted. This is a simple strip quilt based on Mary’s pattern. I have made it slightly longer, then added borders. I loved the dog fabric when I saw it and decided […]




A Quilted Garden.

I spent a lovely day at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne where the beautiful Australian Garden has been developed. But on this visit I wasn’t there to see the gardens. I went to view the Australian Textile Exhibition featuring Leesa Chandler’s gorgeous fabrics and many other displays. These are made with Leesa’s lovely fabrics. […]




A New Month And Season.

Welcome March and Autumn. We are being spoiled with a beautiful, mild sunny day here. I suppose I should make the most of it before the cooler months arrive. I have been working on several projects at one time, but when this happens there are not a lot of big project finishes. Here are some […]




Another Under The Australian Sun.

This is my third quilt using fabrics from Leesa Chandler’s fabric line – Under The Australian Sun. And I still have more fabrics from this range to play with. Obviously it is a favourite.   This quilt is made from the lattice garden pattern. Here is the fabric in the backing. It has taken me […]




The End Of The Month.

If it’s White Rabbit for the start of a month, what is it for the last day?  I have no idea! This has to have been one of the mildest Januarys in this area for a long time.  It has certainly made daily living in the middle of Summer very easy. On the sewing front […]




Red Again.

Can’t help it. Red just keeps featuring! This is a little wall hanging using the left over pieces of Holiday Frost from a quilt I made a couple of years ago. I did some straight lines through the centre panel simply to secure the layers. Then I did some echo quilting on the red triangles […]




January 26th.

Happy Australia Day. Here in Gippsland we are being treated to a lovely sunny day with a gentle breeze. Perfect for a BBQ. The flowering gums are looking a treat. The flowers are beautiful. No wonder Leesa Chandler chose to use them on her fabric – Under The Australian Sun.   Congratulations to Rosie Batty […]




A Winter Finish.

It’s the middle of Summer and I am finishing a Winter quilt. This is a little lap size quilt using a free design from Erin Russek of One Piece At A Time. I started it several years ago and then it was set aside as I found other distractions. I appliqued each mitten with satin […]
