Nearly There.
We are nearly ready for the New Year. But there is still a little Christmas to catch up on first. In fact, we haven’t celebrated Christmas with our family yet. Our granddaughter was unwell on Christmas eve, so we had to put off our visit. We will instead catch up in a couple of days. […]
Two More.
These were easy ones. Family members were after two more Christmas quilts to hang on walls. I had a couple of panels with small blocks, so was able to have a bit of a play with layouts. The first one needed to be long and narrow. I always find it tricky working with panels as […]
Playing With Rainbows.
Sewing has taken a back seat for a month or more with other activities taking over. However, I had completed this quilt top which went off to my LAQ. It came back last week and I could not resist getting the binding stitched down. It is a simple brick design. This one is called Zip […]
Using Up Bits And Pieces.
I have had some family requests for Christmas quilts using particular fabrics. But I only had bits and pieces of each one left. So I had to play around a bit with a simple design so I could use what I had. The end result was two similar, but not the same, throw quilts. There […]
Making Progress.
Little by little, progress is being made on a variety of projects. I had a little mini panic the other day when I realised how close Christmas was. So I got stuck into a few Christmas plans. These are small ornaments from Marg Low’s range. These Santa sack decorations are about 3 inches high. And […]
Steady Progress On Small Items.
After the quilt marathon it has been good to get back to some smaller projects. I have managed to complete another four of the houses from Homegrown. Mine are not always true to the original design. I have added different colours and fabrics, sometimes different stitches and even a ribbon or two. But the essential […]
Donation Marathon.
I have reached the end of my quilting marathon for donation quilts. I will be delivering them in the next fortnight so they can either be distributed or used for Christmas parcels. I seem to choose windy days for photos, But I think I managed to catch most of the quilts with only a little […]
Seeing Double.
Two identical quilts! Almost. These quilts are single bed size and are part of a donation quilt marathon I am working on. I wanted to get a few quilts made so they can be given as Christmas gifts. I have been helped out by a few people with donations of wadding. I have plenty of […]
More Little bits.
September is strange. The trees are in blossom and the hail is falling. That’s Spring in Melbourne. No such problems with the Sue Spargo houses. Sunshine all the way there. Here is the next installment of eight blocks. I am pleased to be making progress on these as they have been waiting far too long. […]
Little Things.
Our weather continues to cause a lot of problems. I think the only thing we have missed out on is snow, though we did have hail. But in the middle of it all, we had a gorgeous rainbow. And a gorgeous blue sky. We spotted this when out driving. I have been finishing off a […]
