Tigers And AQC.
Football season started here several weeks ago and it turns out that our 4yo grandson needed a hat and scarf to support his team. The lovely part is he has chosen his team purely because of the animal emblem representing it – a tiger. So now it appears he will be a Richmond supporter. When […]
Monkey Business.
There is not lot of quilting happening here – probably due to the hot and humid weather we are having late into the season. But I have been working with some smaller items. The first finish is a table runner from Bird Brain Designs made in wool felt. It is quite long and will easily […]
Merry Christmas Wishes.
The big day is tomorrow! I think everything is ready. I plan to stay well away from any shops today. I made very simple cards for this year. Soft colours and a little embossing seems to have worked quite well. Changed the papers for the trees for a bit of variety. And the tag decoration. […]
A Sleigh Of Santas.
For most of this year I have been working on making dozens of these Santas for Christmas Gifts. I belong to lot of groups and there are quite a few gift exchanges at this time of year. I also wanted some for family, too. This photo probably shows half of the ones I made. […]
Ready For A Christmas Quilt.
This quilt has been in the works for quite a while, so it is great to see it finally finished and ready to hang for the festive season. This is a Viv’s Creations pattern by Viv Robinson. It is made using raw edge applique. I also chose to do a lot of the embroidery with […]
Workshop And Finishes.
December has raced up very quickly and I am sure it will speed up even more as we get closer to Christmas. Good luck with all your Christmas shopping and sewing. I had the good fortune to attend a wonderful workshop with Keryn of Christmas Creations. A group of four of us worked hard in […]
Cards, Snowies And RAK.
A quiet week of settling back into a routine. And a little bit of productivity. Planning ahead for some birthdays so a few cards are needed. Also getting back to some stitchery. I have a year of these snowies to work on. Here are January and February. I was the very lucky recipient of a […]
Red Robin.
Another UFO becomes a quilt! I am pleased to say that I have managed to keep working on my UFO pile. But I have also started a few new projects as well. This was a small lap quilt, already sandwiched, so not too much needed to get it done. Just quilting and binding. I know […]
Making Progress.
It’s cold! I am trying to adjust to the quick change around from being hot and wearing short sleeves, to swapping into sweaters and shoes. This is only in a matter of two weeks. Time has been well spent finishing off a quilt top. This is a Viv Robinson design. Lots of raw edge applique. […]
Christmas Red Work.
I have been steadily working my way through the little set of ornaments designed by Lynette Anderson, called Sweet Christmas. I have half of them done and wanted to see how they looked with their buttons. (The buttons are not stitched on yet. I will do that when I sew the fabrics to the embroideries.) […]
