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 […]

Weekend Cards.
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 […]
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 […]
