An Incredible Surprise!
This is where I have been during the past week. I have had the craziest week I think that I can ever remember! I didn’t know we were going to the snow until 2 days beforehand. I also had no idea who else was going. A brief explanation is needed. It is my birthday next […]
Out And About.
I have been lucky enough to have recently had eight days in a row that have involved crafty things. Several days were classes and another was joining friends for a sewing day. I had a day of art journalling and another working in a crafty capacity. But two busiest days were visiting the Craft and […]
Seeing Stars.
I am finally seeing some quilting finishes. This quilt is full of stars and is based on a pattern called Happy Birthday in the Memorable Scrap Quilts book. The name is appropriate because this is a gift for a birthday. This quilt was made using lots of bits and pieces from my stash. […]
Little Leftovers.
I had a few little bits of fabric left from the Holiday Frost quilt. Not enough for even a small quilt but too lovely to just toss in with the scraps. After a bit of playing I made a small wall hanging. It is now waiting to be sandwiched and quilted. The centre […]
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. […]
