Starting a BOM.
I had seen several posts from people who were stitching Lynette Anderson’s mystery BOM, Fernhill. The first couple of blocks looked lovely so I decided to track it down and join in. Although 7 of the 9 blocks have already arrived, I am just finishing the first block which is the centre-piece. As usual, I […]
Twisting Away.
I have managed a finish on my Twister quilt. It has a bright, summery feel about it and adds a bit of colour to the day. The fabrics in the quilt are a combination of Going Coastal and Tidbits and Treasures. Being such a busy quilt it really only needed outline quilting. I secured […]
All Sorts.
The nearby city of Melbourne is well known for its changeable weather. This Spring has certainly been one of extremes. Three days ago it was bitterly cold and snow was forecast for some of the mountain areas. Today has glorious sunshine, blue sky and a gentle breeze. No getting bored with the weather here. But […]
Little Stitching Finishes.
I have been enjoying working on some of Lynette Anderson’s small projects. The first one is a pin cushion made from the pattern, Garden Pincushions. I used a Cottage Garden Perle 12 thread called Oxalis for the stitching. This went together very quickly and is finished off with the gorgeous button that came with the […]
Snow Mates.
I have completed the little wall hanging that was well under way last week. It has grown from this… To this ……… I had wanted to play with different colours to see how they worked. The original has been done with white ribbons for the snowmen on a natural linen. That one is […]
Snowflakes.
Snowflakes in September! I shouldn’t joke about that. The way our weather is here, anything is possible, even though it is Spring. My snowflakes refer to the felt ornaments I have been making. The first group are made using a mitten shape from one of the patterns from Rachel’s Of Greenfield. I have than added […]
Paper And Pins.
I have hardly had a chance to play with paper these last few months, so it has been great to get a few cards made. I really do need to get some scrap-booking done as the photos for this year are piling up. And I also need to think about getting some ideas for Christmas […]
Playing With More Felt.
My little felt snowmen are completed. They are all stitched, filled and decorated. I even remembered to add a hanging thread. I hope to make another batch of these, but am happy with this lot for now. These are from a pattern and kit by Rachel’s of Greenfield, called Snow Folk. I have another kit […]
Favourite Colours – Red And White!
I have gone back to playing with my favourite combination of red and white. I received some gorgeous blocks stitched by the amazing Pauline – Quilt-n-Queen. Pauline does the most beautiful stitching. I wanted to use the blocks in a quilt and make sure they were the focal point and not have the piecing take […]
A Top Completed.
After many months of cutting and juggling blocks, it is lovely to see this quilt top completed with all borders attached. I have really struggled with photos over the last few days with the overcast and windy weather. Thankfully the frame stayed upright long enough to snap this pic. I still am fascinated with the […]
