Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Starting 2015.

2015 has definitely started here in true Australian fashion … heat, fires, beach and thunderstorms. I suppose I should be used to this by now. We did have a mild start to Summer with few really hot days, but as soon as the calendar kicked over to the New Year that changed with days up […]




Post Santa Day.

Christmas is all over for another year.  So what’s next? I didn’t do a lot of decorating so that has been easy to pack away. Lots of gardening seems to be on the cards with netting needed to protect the fruit on the trees being first priority. And maybe a Spring clean in Summer.   […]




Playing Catch Up With Christmas.

As always at this time of year, Christmas is coming far too quickly.  It is hard to stay in front. But a lovely parcel arrived last week to improve the situation. It turns out Cheryll of Gone Stitchin is my final FHFS partner for 2014 and look at this lovely sight. How lucky am I? […]




Summer Is Coming.

Here in our part of the world, Summer starts on Monday. In our southern part of the country we have not been hit with the early hot temperatures those further north are experiencing. As a result the garden is growing well and the grass is still green. It is even cool enough at night to […]




Lovely Colours.

Over the past few weeks I have been playing with these lovely fabrics.   This is a baby quilt I have made for our niece. She is due in the first week of December.   It is made using HSTs. I started with 12 fat quarters and still have fabric over. The fabric is all […]




Little Steps.

It still seems to be very busy here, but progress on some projects is being made in little steps I have finished the little stitcheries from a FigNBerry pattern. They will have to wait for a little while to be made into a quilt, but I have enjoyed having a portable project to work on. […]




A Zoo Quilt.

Here we go.  This will really test out whether all the repairs and upgrades work. If this post works I can then  see if you can comment and if I can reply. Fingers crossed. Several weeks ago I managed to complete this quilt top and send it to my LAQ. It came back within a […]




An Enforced Break.

Looks like I am out of action as far as my blog and emails are concerned for a while. Due to all sorts of technical hiccups I cannot access loads of data. I can post on my blog and receive comments, but cannot reply to them. I am not receiving any emails on my account. […]




My Turn To Hop Around The World.

I have been invited by the lovely Joan at Moose Stash Quilting to participate in the Around The World blog hop. This is a great way to find out about a lot of bloggers in many varied parts of the world. And to see what they enjoy doing. Thanks for the opportunity, Joan. I really […]




FHFS Spots.

I received a delightful parcel in the mail yesterday as part of our FHFS spotty swap. It was from Sharon of Lilabelle Lane and was wrapped in lovely spotty paper. Sharon has made this gorgeous Sew Together bag. Doesn’t it look amazing! She has embroidered spots and dots to keep the spotty theme going. And […]
