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.

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. […]
