Another Christmas Finish.
Finishing a quilt is easy when they are smaller wall hangings. I was able to quilt this one in no time and then finish off the binding in the morning. This is the one by Natalie Bird of Birdhouse Designs called Christmas Blessings. I showed it recently as a flimsy. Thankfully it is not that […]
Red And green Mixed Blocks.
A mixture of reds, greens and creams has led to this quilt. I had been wanting to make blocks which were scrappy and could use fabrics from my stash. I was originally working on blocks for two separate quilts, but realised with a little tweaking I could combine them into one larger quilt. I started […]
A Santa Flimsy.
I am steadily getting myself back into a sewing routine. After having 3 weeks with a house full it takes a little bit of adjusting to get used to the quiet. I have made plenty of clothes for various dolls for our visiting grandies, but this is the first of my projects I have returned […]
Completed Blocks.
I need to do a little blog house keeping first. Linda, for some reason my replies to you keep bouncing back. Not sure why. I also have had a few anonymous comments on the last 4 posts and I am sorry but I can’t reply to those either. I have tried to work out who […]
Christmas Starting in June?
Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse has a lovely Christmas quilt design called Christmas Blessings. It has four applique blocks and some pieced blocks. I have completed two of the applique blocks. I have chosen to do raw edge applique for these and I have hand embroidered the words and decorations. There are some stars to […]
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 […]
