Is It Really Winter?
I am really in two minds as to what season it is at the moment. I know it is officially Winter and today is suitably cold, but all sorts of odd things are happening. Last week we had our hottest July day on record. So of course we were getting around in short sleeves on […]
Red Again.
It seems that once the red theme hits I have to work it out of my system. I recently received a fat quarter bundle of these lovely fabrics. They are Holiday Frost from Henry Glass. Gorgeous reds and greys in this bundle. I had a lovely experience with this purchase when […]
Mostly Red.
A whole lot of red seems to be happening around here. And why not? It certainly brightens up a Winter’s day. I have been doing a little bit of knitting for our grandson and this sweater just happens to be red. It’s fun knitting for littlies as the item grows so quickly. We also […]
No Longer A UFO.
I am delighted to be able to report that another UFO has been completed. This is the quilt made with the double hourglass blocks using pastel colours. I think the fabric is Moda’s Sleepytime, which I had in a jellyroll. Added to that was a Bella white jellyroll as well as some yardage. I also […]
Another Block.
A busy week of sewing here but a quiet week for finishes. I have completed Block 4 of Lynette Anderson’s Fernhill BOM. This is it, minus the cute button. I have also had a few birthday cards to catch up on. I am looking forward to lunch with friends and an afternoon of stitching. […]

Pink And Blue.
I have spent a week concentrating on free motion quilting for my Dresden quilt. I am surprised at how long it has taken to do all the stitching. But thankfully the end is near as I only have the binding to do and a few loose threads to trim. I decided after all that work […]
Stitching And Stamping Away.
We have some lovely sunshine for today so it is worth making the most of it with some time in the garden and some photo taking. We have also been having a few hiccups with phone and Internet connections, but, fingers crossed, it all seems to be working properly now. I am still working on […]
Some Little Bits.
I am still getting used to the change back from daylight saving in that it gets dark in the evenings before I am ready. Give me another week and I should be back on track. I have been very fortunate in that I have spent 3 days in at the Australasian Quilt Convention. As […]
Feeling Colourful.
I am making somewhat of an effort to work on a few UFOs. Just the bright and colourful ones. This first one is the 3D bow tie quilt. I had the blocks made a while back and have only now put them together. I have also started to quilt the Dresden that has been […]
