Making Progress.
It’s cold! I am trying to adjust to the quick change around from being hot and wearing short sleeves, to swapping into sweaters and shoes. This is only in a matter of two weeks. Time has been well spent finishing off a quilt top. This is a Viv Robinson design. Lots of raw edge applique. […]
Christmas Red Work.
I have been steadily working my way through the little set of ornaments designed by Lynette Anderson, called Sweet Christmas. I have half of them done and wanted to see how they looked with their buttons. (The buttons are not stitched on yet. I will do that when I sew the fabrics to the embroideries.) […]
Happy Easter
We are fortunate to have a four day weekend for Easter. This gives many people the chance to get away for one last holiday while the weather is still warm. Our choice is to stay home and be off the busy roads because we can go away at any time. As a result, I like […]
Still Multiplying!
These pesky rabbits are at it again. More have popped up since the last post. And they do look rather cute! Of course there is always one funny bunny who doesn’t want their ears up straight! These are a pattern from Rosalie Quinlan Designs. A quick and easy one to do for Easter. A trip […]
Some Bunnies.
Easter is sneaking up quickly. There is so much chocolate in our shops at theĀ 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 […]
