Adding Up The Numbers.
Our chilly weather makes this a perfect time to stay inside to sew. The last few days have been busy adding to collections. I have made 40 of these disappearing 9 patch blocks for the final border of my quilt made from Califon. These drunkard’s path blocks now total 47 – about a quarter of […]
7 Down and ……
I am just starting to make the drunkard’s path blocks for the last border on the red and white quilt. I think I am using about 8 different red fabrics but this is just the tester to make sure the idea is okay. Well, I have made 7 blocks and I have worked out that […]
Friday Colours.
Joining in with Robyn for Colourful Fridays is a lovely way to brighten up the end of the week. Visit Daisy Quilts to see all the lovely colours. This week we are hunting for orange and blue. I found a few things with the two colours together, but the rest involved playing. Of course I […]
Teddy Bear’s Picnic.
The teddies are off for their weekly picnic at The House On The Side Of The Hill. Visit Melody to see what they are up to this time. I have collected several of these lovely pottery bears at the craft market. They have fun poses and great expressions on their faces. I have several others […]
Adding Colours.
I realised I hadn’t shared my progress with the Jacobean embroidery recently. It continues to grow slowly but steadily. I love the way the appearance changes when a few new and brighter colours are added.
A Loooong Wait.
It has certainly been a long time since this quilt was started. I bought the patterns about 3 years back and spent some time collecting the fabrics. So about 2 and a half years ago I started the piecing, applique and embroidery. There were lots of other interruptions and distractions along the way but thankfully […]
Travelling Bear.
It’s Teddy Bear’s Picnic day again with Melody at The House On The Side Of The Hill. Take a visit to see who is at the picnic. My little bear is sitting inside his travelling case from Settler Bears. He may be little but he is quite heavy – weighted down with shot. Lovely shaggy […]
Califon Growing.
I am gradually adding layers to this quilt. I will definitely add another white border and then will have to do some very careful calculating to see if I have enough fabric left for one more row of blocks. It is currently 5o inches across so I suppose I also have to think about how […]
Birds/Red.
Still quilting away but managed to find a little distraction! Reverse colours.
Flowers Everywhere.
Today is Colourful Friday and Robyn has asked participants to look at flowers. Visit Daisy Quilts to see all the beautiful blooms. Of course with flowers as the theme there is so much to choose. So I decided to limit my pictures to flowers that have been made, not grown. And even then there were […]
