Just Stitching Along.
Totally unrelated to sewing – but I have been enjoying the fun home page on Google today. I can’t help but push the buttons and play with the monsters. They are muppets to mark Jim Henson’s 75th birthday! Now back to my regular sewing. It seems to have been a busy week but I have […]
Thinking Of Quilts.
It’s really hard making decisions about which projects will come next. There are so many new patterns I want to do but I also have a lot of older patterns that I love too. They are quilts I have made many years ago but now want to make again in newer fabrics. Sometimes it is […]
Garden Maze.
This has been a very interesting quilt to make. None of it was hard as it was all straight sewing with squares and rectangles. What I did find interesting was that the pattern of interlinking squares didn’t become apparent until right at the end when the rows were sewn together. So even though I knew […]
An Even Dozen
I have managed to finish a set of twelve stitcheries from the Tis The Season booklet. I trimmed them down a little to tidy them up. I will tuck them away for a little while until I have time to turn them into a quilt. It’s good to see the photo posting correctly today. I […]
A Spring Bear.
Now that Spring has arrived we are having a chance to enjoy a little sunshine. It’s a perfect day to join Melody at The House On The Side Of The Hill for her Teddy Bear’s Picnic. We have to take the opportunity to enjoy the sun before the weather turns. I made this bear when […]
The Next Finish.
I am steadily working through my quilt sandwiches. Good to have another finish. I was happy just to quilt with a simple meander. Because I used this quilt as a bit of a trial run for strip tubing I decided to try out a few things I don’t normally do. I have always hand stitched […]
Triangles Done.
I have finished the straight line quilting and the binding on my half square triangle quilt. I really like the simplicity of the design when using half square triangles with white. The fabric is Moda Winter Song. I have used a Moda Bake Shop pattern found here. I did add a border to the original […]
Completely Pinned Out!
I am completely pinned out in so many ways. When I am ready to sandwich a quilt I set up a trestle table so I can lay out the quilts. I use a table because I am not too keen about crawling around the floor. I work on the idea that if I have taken […]
Making Leaves.
I am currently working on a quilt designed by Leesa Chandler of Chandler’s Cottage. Leesa designed the gorgeous fabric, Under The Australian Sun. The main blocks have gum leaves. The leaves are made in two parts from a selection of green and brown fabrics. Strips of each colour are sewn together then a right and […]
Many Thanks And A GO! Give Away.
All has returned to some sort of normal here after the craziness and fun of guest posting with Madame Samm. I would like to say a very BIG thank you to all the wonderful people who visited my blog, became followers and left comments. I hope I have replied to all. I am now enjoying […]
