Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Sunshine And Snow.

No sewing in this post! Totally holiday snaps. We had a lovely family holiday at Edrom Lodge near Eden, on the south coast of NSW. Our extended family booked out the whole lodge and had a wonderful Christmas together. The grounds were beautiful and we had a short walk over the lawn to reach the […]




Christmas Wishes.

The last of the Christmas sewing has been completed. I had this group of stockings to complete for Christmas day. They now only need the name tags to be added. They are also made and I will stitch them on this evening.   We are all looking forward to a lovely break over Christmas. Best […]




Santa Bags.

I have recently completed two little Santa Bags.  Not unusual for this time of year  except that I have only learnt to crochet in the last month and this is the first thing I have made. These are a lovely size for young children.   The Christmas cards are finally made and now being prepared […]




Owls, Again.

Lots of owls in the garden, today. Daytime ones.  I have a group of friends who get together just before Christmas and we all bring little gifts to swap.  These hot pads are the start of my little collection of gifts to give. They come from a pattern named Hot Who and it’s from Susie […]

In The Middle.

I seem to be in the middle of so many projects at the moment. That’s fine as long as it all leads to finishes. I am about to have a basting weekend. I have several small quilts that need to be sandwiched ready for quilting, so my trestle table is out and ready for work. […]




Tags And Hour Glasses.

The hour glass blocks have been completed and put together.  Simple borders have been added and the result is a completed quilt top.   I had to battle with the grape vine for position on the fence.  As well as using fabrics from the Sleepytime range, I added some solids in matching pastels. It needs […]




A Busy Week.

November has arrived with a rush. Lots of busy things to do when the weather warms up here. We are starting to have a taste of the Summer to come. Some time has been set aside for sewing in amongst all the other goings on. Block 2 of Lynette Anderson’s Fernhill has been completed.  Here […]

Thank you to Amy and all her wonderful sponsors .  Visit Amy’s Creative Side to see the details of all the exciting things that are happening. I am delighted to have finished my 4 Patch Kaleidoscope just in time. […]

I spent some lovely time over the weekend with friends at a workshop to make some cards for Christmas. (It really is going to sneak up on us!) Chris is the lovely lady who ran the workshop. You can find her on Facebook at The Art Room. (I will find the link for that.) We […]
