Looking For Sunshine.
After the weather we have been having, the idea of finding sunshine would seem an impossible task. We are getting around that by flying over the pond to spend a month with family and sharing their Summer. I have no idea about whether it will be easy to post, or reply to comments or to […]
A Pleasant Break.
This week we were able to spend a few days away at Metung on the lakes in Gippsland. We were incredibly lucky with the weather. Sunshine and warm temps every day. One of the days was spent in Buchan around the caves area. We enjoyed some of the lovely walks and the trees looked beautiful […]
Two Finishes.
Just a quick visit to show two finishes before they head off to their new homes. This is the little quilt that has been made for some friends who are about to become great grandparents. The baby is due next week, so I have finished just in time. And the other finish is the blanket […]
Some Bunnies.
The final embroidery stitches have gone into the woollen blanket and the little 3D bunnies have been added. All that is left now is the backing and the satin binding. This embroidery is from one of the very early Inspirations magazines (Issue 40). I have used pure wool blanketing from Country Bumpkin and I have […]
Trying Something New.
I have not yet made a kaleidoscope quilt, so decided it was time to have a try at this technique. I have decided to start with a very simple introduction and then move on to the more involved version. This particular technique simply uses 4 identical squares. The squares are arranged so that each has […]
Making Progress.
We have the most beautiful day here, today. Clear skies, sunshine, mid 20s and a gentle breeze. Perfect. As a result it is hard to stay inside to sew, but I have been catching up on a few projects. The embroidered blanket is nearly there – hooray! Just a few more leaves needed and then […]
Bunnies and Chooks.
I have continued to play with Easter projects. I needed to make extras of these to send away to some cute little family members. Then I decided I needed to have some of these fun little chickens to put in the parcel, too. Each one has a chocolate Easter egg tucked inside them. They are […]
White Rabbit, White rabbit.
March ends today and we will be in April tomorrow. Daylight saving ends here, so a little time adjustment is needed. And Easter is just around the corner!! Sneaking up fast. I have been able to make a couple of felt rabbits for Easter decorations. I simply did a search for a rabbit template then […]
Big Smiles.
There has been great excitement here this week as our beautiful grandson arrived healthy and well last Saturday night. We have loved spending time with him having lots of cuddles and seeing how thrilled his parents are with his arrival. The quilt was completed and labelled, ready for his arrival. I kept the quilting simple […]
More Bits.
We are enjoying a lovely long Labour Day weekend here and the weather is treating us very kindly. Beautiful sunshine and warm days. I have managed a little sewing and have finished the Southern Jewels quilt top. It’s a very simple pattern but is designed well to showcase Leesa Chandler‘s gorgeous fabrics. I made the […]
