Sunburnt Quilts

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 […]




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. […]
