A New Start For The New Year.
I do still have a few UFOs to finish, but it is always great to start something new at the beginning of the year. In keeping with my love of bright colours I have chosen these fabrics. And I planning to use them in this pattern. This is Kitchen Window from Elizabeth Hartman’s book, The […]
A Very Sunny Christmas.
I have had a lovely break spending time away for Christmas with extended family. We hire out Edrom Lodge, near Eden in NSW, for the week over Christmas. The weather was perfect. This is one of the beautiful beach walks with a view looking back to the Lodge. The building is hiding in the trees […]
Snow Time.
Hooray! Christmas is nearly here! I wonder if that is what these snowmen are celebrating? I had a good laugh when I read this lovely wisdom from a snowman. I had to turn it into a mini hanging. My cards are all posted and parcels have gone, too. I made a few different cards this […]
Red Ribbon Santa.
Yes, I have continued to play with ribbons. Lots of red ones this time. I am sure you can guess that these turned into a Santa. It just adds to the Christmas spirit. And this is one of the cards I made in a class recently. Loved the colours in this one. I hope […]
Playing With Ribbons.
A few weeks back I was playing with this lovely bundle of ribbons. After a little cutting and stitching, they turned into this little wall hanging. Just in time for Christmas.
Christmas Panel.
This wall hanging is another little finish. I had done all the quilting on it several months ago, but when I went to bind it I couldn’t find the fabric I had set aside. I put the quilt away knowing that the fabric would turn up somewhere. Obviously it did. It turned out it was […]
A Merry Banner.
I am determined to keep working on that UFO pile, especially if it is to do with Christmas. As a result I have completed my MERRY banner, which is a pre-printed pattern from Rosalie Quinlan. Rosalie had stitched this as a redwork design, but I decided to play with colours. I think the original […]
Santa Sparkles.
This is another of the items I had on my list to finish when I was recently recuperating. I am pleased to say that it has been done and has even had some sparkles added. It has been lovely working with the wool felt. It is very soft and so easy to sew. This project […]
Christmas Stitching.
Together with a group of friends I was very fortunate to be able to attend Leanne’s House Christmas Gathering. It was a delightful day. The room was decorated for Christmas with white table and chair coverings and big red bows. It looked very festive. Our tables were decorated with our gift bags, reindeer and candles. […]
Pink And Blue.
I am continuing the theme of finishing a few UFOs. This one isn’t too bad – it was a flimsy at the start of this year. It was one of the tops I spent time sandwiching a month back. It is a small cot sized quilt. Lots of cute little owls and a simple […]
