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 […]
A Little Birdie Or Two.
On our recent trip I made a point of taking some stitching with me. I made sure it was something easy that could be picked up and worked on without too much fuss. These are two of the pieces from Teddlywinks. They are pre-printed stitcheries. I used a variegated Cottage Garden thread for both. Very […]
Animal Stack.
I am back at home after 4 weeks in the US and enjoying the last blast of Summer sunshine. I know it won’t last for long but it’s a change from the snow we have been experiencing while away. We were home just in time for our grandson’s first birthday. How did that time go […]
Critters And Art…….And NYC.
I am so pleased to see our supermarkets moving away from the drab shopping bags. This is the great design on one of the grocery bags I found recently. I hope we see a lot more branching out with their designs. The weather has been hot but I have had some knitting to do. The […]
A Little Mystery.
This little quilt top was completed recently in a mystery quilt workshop. It is a lap quilt or throw size. We received instructions to select 3 fabrics – light, dark and medium. We then had to do all the cutting before class. This made sure the top was easily completed in a day. Definitely a […]
Extra Easter.
Playing with the ribbons and the eggs led to more little Easter goodies. Just can’t help myself. It started with an Easter Chick. Then along came an Easter Bunny. And another egg! It’s so easy to play with felt. Maybe a few more to make?
Ribbon Eggs.
Thankfully, Easter is still a little way off. But I wanted to make a few of these now so there was no rush later. I keep seeing lovely ribbons in the stores and can’t resist using them in these projects. They are made using a felt base in the shape of an egg. I […]
