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 […]
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 […]
