Steady Progress.
March seems to have arrived in a hurry making it hard to think that two months of the year have snuck by already. I have been working on several quilt tops over the last week – some new, some old. This first one is an older one. I had started the work on all the […]
Eggs And Santa.
Summer. The perfect time to be working on a Christmas quilt? I suppose it means it will be ready for Christmas. This is a small quilt I had sandwiched and pinned a while back. It has waited for a few months before I had time to do the quilting. I only had a small amount […]
Owls Finally Finished.
This week has seen me busy with a lot of preparation work. I seem to be tracing patterns, transferring designs and cutting. I sometimes feel I have been busy with not a lot to show for it, but we all know that it is worth doing to the preparation right to have a good end […]
Cutting And Stitching.
I have once again been very fortunate to attend some workshops with Deborah Louie as the tutor. The first day saw us working with raw edge applique and different machining techniques. We also made drunkard’s path blocks and explored techniques for making circles. This is my sample from the morning for the raw edge applique. […]
Garden Maze Completed.
I had my Garden Maze top quilted by my lovely LAQ just prior to Christmas, but of course with all the excitement of the season it had to wait a little while to be completed. With all the good tennis in the evenings lately I have been hand stitching the binding and enjoying the matches. […]

Summer is lovely with all the warm days and the many outdoor activities. The only downside is that not a lot of sewing is being done. I suppose there is always Winter to catch up. I was able to attend a one day class today for quilting with Zentangles. We spent the morning drawing on […]
Blue And White Triangles.
The blue and white HST quilt is quilted and bound. Simple and basic but perfect for this fabric. Straight line quilting was all that was needed. The binding was the same blue that was used in the small highlight around the centre. This flowering gum is just starting to blossom. The bees are loving it. […]
Four Seasons.
Anyone who lives in or near Melbourne knows exactly what I am talking about! We have the ability to have all four seasons easily within a day. And today is it! I look out the windows on one side of the house and it is beautiful blue sky and sunshine. Try the other side of […]
Planning Ahead Or Catching Up?
Once Christmas had come and gone I realised that most of the Christmas sewing I had done was for gifts. And all the Christmas projects I had wanted to make for our home were put aside. So, instead of leaving them until the end of this year, and probably putting them aside again, I thought […]
