Merry Christmas Wishes.
Merry Christmas. Looks like we are going to have a proper Aussie Christmas as the warmer weather has finally decided to arrive. No complaints as it is time that Summer showed its face. Most decorating has been done and thankfully all the shopping is out of the way. Just a few presents left to wrap. […]
Gum Leaves.
A quilt finish! This is part of my effort to keep using stash. I had accumulated a lot of Lesa Chandler’s fabric – Under The Australian Sun. I really like it so was determined not to waste it. I saw the many variations of the hidden wells pattern and decided to try it out . […]
Pink Elephants.
I am steadily working through a backlog of projects. The litlle elephants quilt was the first to make it to the finishing line. I had a few small pieces of the elephant fabric to use in the quilt. Each block was framed with either pink or grey before going into the quilt. Unfortunately the photo […]
Little Things Grow.
I am still working on lots of little things and achieving some finishes. My Party Penguin is complete and now in its hoop ready to hang. This is a design from Bustle And Sew. Next in line were a few felt decorations from The Wooly Thread Co. I think I purchased one of the patterns […]
Hello, October.
Like everyone, I am a little shocked at how quickly the months are disappearing. Here it is October and I still feel like I am playing catch up. However, I do feel like I am getting back on track with some of my stitching. I have completed the embroidery from a design by Kasia Jocquot […]
Catching Up On Spring.
With house guests for nearly two months I have not had a lot of opportunity to sew or blog. I looked back and realised posts were at least a month apart. Just shows how busy it gets. No complaints, just an observation. Little has been done as far as quilts go, but hopefully I can […]
A Bit More Red.
Over a month between posts!! It has been a very busy time with family finally able to travel here safely. We kept busy and on the go for the whole time. We had a few days off and then readied ourselves for another overseas visitor for three weeks. Thankfully this time is a little less […]
Zebras And Pandas.
My run of finishes is coming to an end with this quilt. I had started working on the blocks back in April, then had to wait to get a few plain fabric matches. Once done, it was off to the quilter. The sunlight was shining on the back of the quilt so the colour looks […]
Colourful Trees.
These trees are quite different to the ones I have been watching outside as the leaves change to Autumn colours. In fact they remind me more of lollipops or raindrops. This pattern is called The Avenue and is by Louise Papas. I bought mine through Amitie in Torquay. I bought the set of templates available […]
A Finished Blanket.
This is another of my projects that was so close to a finish and was then put away due to distractions of my own making. I had made the large mandalas and had pieced them together, but knew I had to make smaller sections to fill the gaps. It took me a while to play […]
