Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

A Very Sunny Christmas.

I have had a lovely break spending time away for Christmas with extended family. We hire out Edrom Lodge, near Eden in NSW, for the week over Christmas. The weather was perfect. This is one of the beautiful beach walks with a view looking back to the Lodge. The building is hiding in the trees […]




Snow Time.

Hooray!  Christmas is nearly here! I wonder if that is what these snowmen are celebrating? I had a good laugh when I read this lovely wisdom from a snowman.  I had to turn it into a mini hanging. My cards are all posted and parcels have gone, too. I made a few different cards this […]




Red Ribbon Santa.

Yes, I have continued to play with ribbons. Lots of red ones this time. I am sure you can guess that these turned into a Santa. It just adds to the Christmas spirit. And this is one of the cards I made in a class recently. Loved the colours in this one.   I hope […]




Playing With Ribbons.

A few weeks back I was playing with this lovely bundle of ribbons. After a little cutting and stitching, they turned into this little wall hanging. Just in time for Christmas.  




A Merry Banner.

I am determined to keep working on that UFO pile, especially if it is to do with Christmas. As a result I have completed my MERRY banner, which is a pre-printed pattern from Rosalie Quinlan. Rosalie had stitched this as a redwork design, but I decided to play with colours.   I think the original […]




Santa Sparkles.

This is another of the items I had on my list to finish when I was recently recuperating. I am pleased to say that it has been done and has even had some sparkles added. It has been lovely working with the wool felt. It is very soft and so easy to sew. This project […]




Christmas Stitching.

Together with a group of friends I was very fortunate to be able to attend Leanne’s House Christmas Gathering. It was a delightful day. The room was decorated for Christmas with white table and chair coverings and big red bows. It looked very festive. Our tables were decorated with our gift bags, reindeer and candles. […]




Little Leftovers.

I had a few little bits of fabric left from the Holiday Frost quilt.  Not enough for even a small quilt but too lovely to just toss in with the scraps. After a bit of playing I made a small wall hanging.  It is now waiting to be sandwiched and quilted.     The centre […]




Stitching And Stamping Away.

We have some lovely sunshine for today so it is worth making the most of it with some time in the garden and some photo taking. We have also been having a few hiccups with phone and Internet connections, but, fingers crossed, it all seems to be working properly now. I am still working on […]




2013 Is Well Under Way.

Time to get back on the horse. Or, to be real, time to get back to my blog. The weather has made sure that we are having a real mixed bag to start the year. Lots of very hot days as well as crazy cool ones for this time of year, too.  Unfortunately many states […]
