Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Goodbye, January.

January has flown by quickly which probably means it has been a very busy month. Hard to believe tomorrow is a new month. I have continued to enjoy my Fernhill BOM from Lynette Anderson. Block 3 is done and I am working on number 4. It is an enjoyable stitchery and I have set no […]




Happy Australia Day.

Happy Australia Day to all Australians, where-ever you happen to be living today. We have a holiday long weekend and there are events happening all around the country to celebrate the occasion. Love the Google emblem on the homepage for Australia Day, today. Last week I had a lovely day with a group of friends […]




Stripes and Stars.

Here are the stripes! This little zebra has recently found a new home with our grandson. He is made using a pattern called Savannah Chaps, by Barbara Prime,  which also includes and elephant and a rhino.  It was purchased through Ravellry. Very easy to make and good directions. I think there may have to be […]




2013 Is Well Under Way.

Time to get back on the horse. Or, to be real, time to get back to my blog. The weather has made sure that we are having a real mixed bag to start the year. Lots of very hot days as well as crazy cool ones for this time of year, too.  Unfortunately many states […]




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 […]




2012 Christmas Quilt Show.

I have only just realised that the 2012 Christmas Quilt Show has started. This year it is being organised by Michele at Quilting Tutorials. Hop on over to have a look at the lovely Christmas inspiration. I have chosen one of my favourites as my entry for this year. It is titled Reindeer Mischief and […]




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. […]
