Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

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 […]




Catching Up On UFOs.

I made a bit of an effort to collect together a handful of items that needed only a small amount of work to finish them off. I have a habit of finishing the stitchery part of a project but not following up to complete it. So here are two mini hangings completed.       […]




It Could Be Red October!

There will be hundreds of amazing quilts to view and inspire.  Thanks Amy for this wonderful opportunity.   This particular quilt has been some time in the making. I started […]




Good Progress.

I am delighted to say that I am making good progress with my projects as well as good progress with myself. Thank you for the well wishes – they have definitely worked. This week I am feeling like my old self and and am ready to get back to doing all that I enjoy. I […]




A Not So Nice Surprise.

After a wonderful month of family activities I had planned to return to my sewing and catch up on a lot of quilting. As you can see there are a lot of flimsies waiting in line to be sandwiched and quilted. Unfortunately these plans went astray due to the unpleasant surprise I mentioned. I ended […]




A Red And Grey Finish.

Our house is very empty and quiet as the holiday has ended and family have returned home. There is lots to do but some sewing has been squeezed in as well. This quilt was away at the LAQ and I was able to pick it up a couple of weeks ago.  I have spent a […]




Which Doctor?

In amongst the busyness of having family here, I have completed one quilt. There was a deadline so I had to push  to make it but the last stitches went into the binding the night before it was due.  This one was another birthday gift for a Dr Who fan.   The Dr Who fabrics […]
