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.) […]
The End Of The Month.
If it’s White Rabbit for the start of a month, what is it for the last day? I have no idea! This has to have been one of the mildest Januarys in this area for a long time. It has certainly made daily living in the middle of Summer very easy. On the sewing front […]
Post Santa Day.
Christmas is all over for another year. So what’s next? I didn’t do a lot of decorating so that has been easy to pack away. Lots of gardening seems to be on the cards with netting needed to protect the fruit on the trees being first priority. And maybe a Spring clean in Summer. […]
Playing Catch Up With Christmas.
As always at this time of year, Christmas is coming far too quickly. It is hard to stay in front. But a lovely parcel arrived last week to improve the situation. It turns out Cheryll of Gone Stitchin is my final FHFS partner for 2014 and look at this lovely sight. How lucky am I? […]
Summer Is Coming.
Here in our part of the world, Summer starts on Monday. In our southern part of the country we have not been hit with the early hot temperatures those further north are experiencing. As a result the garden is growing well and the grass is still green. It is even cool enough at night to […]
Christmas Letters.
Steady progress is being made on the blocks for a Christmas quilt. It is from a pattern by Viv Robinson. These are my blocks so far – not all the hand stitching is complete on them. All the applique is raw edge machine stitching. And a lot of the decorative lines are also machine stitched. […]
Bits And Pieces.
When I saw these little slippers I couldn’t resist buying them. They only came in baby and toddler sizes. I would have loved to buy them for older children, too. I have been completing a few little stitcheries. The bird is from Teddlywinks, the tree is from Marg Low Designs and the star has completely […]
Australia Post And Tilda.
I posted my Tilda swap yesterday afternoon and was very surprised to receive an email from Christine this morning to say that it had arrived. Well done Australia Post! Christine, of MacDonald’s Patch, is my swap partner for this round. Christine’s camera doesn’t want to work so I will post my photos for the swap. […]
Welcome Winter.
Here we are at the start of Winter, but my trees seem to have skipped a season. As you can see in the photo there are hardly any leaves turning colour or falling to the ground. Yet only a few streets away, these same trees have dropped their leaves and the branches are bare. Very […]
