Block Work.
I really enjoy the way some blocks can be made in such a simple way to give quite a striking result. I wanted to make these ????? blocks and saw that they were made quite simply using jelly roll strips. They are normally cut using a 90 degree triangle template, but I didn’t have one […]
Keeping The Cold Away.
Yes, it’s Winter and I just have to get used to it. A lot of the trees around here have signs of Spring with their pretty blossom, but the wind, rain and low temps are keeping us well rugged up. This quilt top is definitely aimed at Summer. It is made with a selection of […]
Steaming Along.
I have been able to piece together all the blocks for my kaleidoscope quilt with all the sashing complete. (Unfortunately the colours in the photo vary due to weather conditions and the wind blowing the quilt.) I wanted to run a small border of green around the whole quilt in the same fabric I had […]
Keeping Warm.
It is a rarity to have snow in our area, but it still doesn’t stop thoughts about snowmen. There are so many lovely stitcheries around for Winter. When they are small and easy to finish like this one it is hard not to be tempted. This is a free pattern from Rustic Threads. I would […]
Lovely Kits.
At the last craft show in March I purchased several Marg Low kits. This Winter weather has given me the perfect excuse to make a start on them. This one that I have completed is Festive Trinkets. Before. And after. I haven’t added the hanging cord yet as I am debating maybe sewing a small […]
Every Finish Is Good!
This was an easy quilt to finish. All the piecing was done and it had already been sandwiched together several months ago. All that needed doing was the quilting and binding. Too easy! And a simple backing of Christmas decorations. I am slipping in a few more photos from our trip. This amazing building is […]
A Few Little Birds.
I have enjoyed completing this little wall hanging from a pattern by Vivian Robinson (Viv’s Creations). It is only 12 by 38 inches, so is an easy project to complete. It is called Birds On The Ladder. It uses raw edge machine applique and a little bit of hand embroidery. It is a great way […]
A Little Bit Of Shopping.
I had a quick trip to Spotlight yesterday for a small number of purchases, and left with a smile after discovering a little discount, which I thought I must pass on. Spotlight has its own magazine, Get Creative, which costs 99c. On the back there is a $10 discount coupon on sales over $20. So […]
Very Cheeky!
While I was outside raking up leaves today, these two cheeky cockatoos just sat in the tree next to me. They were not at all bothered by having me near. I was able to make these tooth fairy pillows for our grand children while we were away. I hope they are not in a […]
Back, Relaxed, But Very Cold!
We are back from a lovely month in Pennsylvania where we enjoyed family and warm sunny weather. Most of our trip was to spend family time together, but we did get to play tourist on a few occasions. That included seeing the sights of Philadelphia and Baltimore, trying a range of restaurants and of course […]
