Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Spring Flowers in Autumn.

Not really. It’s just that the fabric in this quilt reminds me of Spring – lovely colours and fresh. I really liked the floral fabric and wanted to make a simple quilt to show it off.  I had trouble with a full quilt photo as the sun was bright and the wind was blowing, but […]




Knit, Purl etc.

Lots of little knitting has been happening here in the last week or two.  Having to be in different places and doing a bit of waiting around lends itself to having an easy carry project like knitting. I have made several of these monkeys before from a Twins Knitting pattern. I have been playing with […]




Lots Of Little Things.

It has been very busy here over the last couple of weeks but I have had a chance to do some sewing for some little ones. First off there are these two little doll quilt wraps. They are 24 by 24 inches and have a 13 by 13 inch pocket in the middle. That is […]




Views And Windows.

Big smiles here. Our computer is back after convalescing for 10 days. Happily, it is now working better than ever. I had just finished my Kitchen Windows quilt flimsy and was ready to post about it when the computer decided to stop. So here it is. Love these fabrics. The pattern is from Elizabeth Hartman’s […]




Computer Hospital.

It seems to be the season for it – computers that do not want to work.  Ours is having problems with its power supply and is off for repairs. I am using an older laptop at the moment and am trying to be patient with its lack of speed. I apologise if I have not […]




A Little Mystery.

Each year I manage to attend a workshop for a mystery quilt. This one was held on a day that was 41c but thankfully the workshop was held in air conditioned comfort. This is the end result. It is a small lap quilt – about 40 X 40 inches. I tend to make them small […]




Rainbow Cat.

I am still trying to develop my crocheting skills and find it great to have a project that is achievable. This cat is made from a very simple pattern and was very easy to follow. Very colourful – of course. Love the back view, too. Great little curly tail to go with it. This easy […]




Australia Day.

January, 26th, 2014. Lots of celebrations happening all around the country. I think a BBQ is in order. A perfect way to relax and enjoy the day.   There is even a little bunting around the pergola. Happy Australia Day!     I have made a few new cards during a workshop last week. A […]




Hot And Easily Distracted.

I have cut out the kitchen window quilt I mentioned in the last post. But with the forecast for our weather, ( 44c or 111F), I decided to cut out several other quilts so I had plenty to do inside with the aircon flowing. That’s where the distraction came in. I was fascinated by the […]




A Star Finish.

The mystery quilt from last year is finally done.  Good to have another UFO off the list. I have found it a little difficult to get the true colours of this quilt in my photos. Neither outside nor inside photos gave the richness of the colours. Never mind – the quilt still looks fine. Here […]
