Little Things.
Our weather continues to cause a lot of problems. I think the only thing we have missed out on is snow, though we did have hail. But in the middle of it all, we had a gorgeous rainbow. And a gorgeous blue sky. We spotted this when out driving. I have been finishing off a […]
Using What’s There.
I have been looking through all my supplies and trying to use up fabrics. I made a quilt many years back with charm squares in a blue Christmas theme. I kept the ones not used at the time and recently found them again. I had plenty of blue themed fabric that could be added and […]
Merry Christmas.
This was not made as a Christmas quilt, but the colours do give it that sort of feel. I had several pieces from the Under The Australian Sun range left over and wanted to use them in a simple quilt that focused on the reds and golds. A post and rail seemed the way to […]
Merry December.
It has been a hectic time, but I am determined to do at least one December post! Lots of shopping has happened, including these gorgeous biscuit tins. Love the way the bauble has been incorporated into the tin. And, yes, it spins! The colour and the design on the tin could have easily fitted into […]
Stitching For Christmas.
It seems to be so far away, but I know from past experience that Christmas creeps up really quickly. I am trying to get ahead, but I know it will still be a mad rush in the end. I started with one of these decorations from a Bareroots pattern, Everything Nice Christmas Ornaments. And then […]
Jumping Into July.
It has turned very cold and wet. Not surprising for the middle month of Winter. But it still feels Brrrrrr….. . The trees have taken a while to change colour but the last two weeks have changed all of that. Perfect weather to be inside stitching. And that has led to a finish. My Tinsel […]
Making Progress.
Bits and pieces are starting to come together. Always good to see progress. The last block for Tinsel has been completed. So now the nine blocks are ready to go together. There is then more applique to go on to overlapping blocks. Plenty to keep me busy with this project. I have also manged to […]
Christmas, Easter And Winter.
That’s a few of the holidays and a season covered! Christmas refers to the Sue Spargo embroideries for Tinsel. I have two more finishes and only one more block to go. Of course that is not the end as there is also a lot of work on the border. I am leaving some of the […]
One Sock, Two Sock.
The title makes it easy to work out what I have been busy making. Socks of course. But not the average, run of the mill sort. These are Norwegian Rainbow socks. These are knitted in a mix of 8 ply yarns. A friend travelled through many countries a few years back, especially Norway and Finland. […]
Getting Ready For Christmas.
Christmas never really feels like it is far away and maybe I will get a few projects done early. These are projects that have been on the go since last year, so maybe they will be in time for Christmas 2023. Last year I started the Sue Spargo BOM, Tinsel. Because of delays with mail […]
