Ribbit, Ribbit.
I wanted an easy project to play with just to give me a little bit of sewing time. I really like the quick strippie quilts made by Mary of Making Scrap Quilts From Stash, but the focus fabric I had was not WOF. It was only a fat quarter. So, as they say, necessity is […]
August.
I had a very lovely lady notice that I hadn’t been posting anything on my blog for quite a while, and she was checking to see if everything was alright. What a sweetie. So here I am, just scraping in for an August post. Sewing time has been extremely limited as most days have been […]
Christmas Letters.
Steady progress is being made on the blocks for a Christmas quilt. It is from a pattern by Viv Robinson. These are my blocks so far – not all the hand stitching is complete on them. All the applique is raw edge machine stitching. And a lot of the decorative lines are also machine stitched. […]
A Little Sunshine Is very Welcome.
It was a delight to wake this morning to see the sun shining and some blue sky. We have had several weeks of overcast and rainy days. And a lot of fog. It is still chilly and there is some wind, but seeing the sun makes a big difference. I made the most of it […]
Busy Fingers.
I have had a busy couple of weeks which have kept me out of my sewing room, but I have managed to keep some handwork with me for those spare moments. These are some stitcheries from Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse. It is from a little booklet called All Creatures Great and Small. I am […]
Making The Most Of The Day.
Trying to take an outside photo of a quilt is very tricky at this time of the year. It can be windy, cloudy, wet or any combination of all three. Today was very cloudy and windy, but I took advantage of the wind easing off to snap a few pics because I knew there was […]
Bits And Pieces.
When I saw these little slippers I couldn’t resist buying them. They only came in baby and toddler sizes. I would have loved to buy them for older children, too. I have been completing a few little stitcheries. The bird is from Teddlywinks, the tree is from Marg Low Designs and the star has completely […]
Australia Post And Tilda.
I posted my Tilda swap yesterday afternoon and was very surprised to receive an email from Christine this morning to say that it had arrived. Well done Australia Post! Christine, of MacDonald’s Patch, is my swap partner for this round. Christine’s camera doesn’t want to work so I will post my photos for the swap. […]
A Tilda Delight.
We are up to the second swap in our FHFS group. Fiona is extremely organised and has already sent me her gorgeous parcel. I have been watching her give little peeks on her blog but never thought it would be coming to me. Look at how Fiona has used pretty doilies to decorate the parcel […]
For A New Arrival.
This is the quilt I have been working to finish this week. It is a baby quilt ready to head to a new baby who arrived last week. Lots of HSTs turned into this. I took it outside for a photo on the grass in the sunshine. but the grass was uneven and I realised […]
