A Lovely Long Weekend.
Australia Day. It is a lovely time to have a long weekend and celebrate our nation. January always ends up being a very busy time in the garden. I love seeing these happy sunflowers. We have been keeping up with berry picking. And jam making. Fresh corn is being picked also. Apricots have been harvested. […]
Follow Up Requests.
This is a quick post to answer a couple of questions and follow up on some requests. Jenny and Susan asked for close up pics of the trees with the snow hearts. These are the felt ones. And these are the fabric and felt hearts. These were made with a free pattern from Bunny Hill […]
Merry December.
December seems to be running away very quickly. I thought I had better write a post before it disappears completely. Summer has been a long time coming. The weather has been quite mild except for the rare hot day. But of course that is about to change. We have some very hot days coming this […]
Little Bits.
It is always good to see progress on projects. This quilt is from Jen Kingwell of Amitie and is named Meadow. This is the centre panel. I now have to make the border which consists of 24 applique blocks. Lots of tracing and cutting before any stitching begins. A friend was working with some small […]
Getting Close!
My McKenna Ryan quilt top is getting close to a finish. The first 7 blocks are sewn together. Not all the applique can be completed until the borders are on but is is good to see it the blocks together. There are two more blocks to add. This is the eighth one. So I am […]
Lots Of Animals.
The Aussie animal blocks have come together to make a quilt top. There are still no eyes but that will happen when the quilting is done. This is the Land Down Under pattern from the Red Boots Quilt Company. I was also able to stitch the banner together that was in my last post. All […]
Mostly Christmas Bits.
Lots of Christmas projects are being worked on and some even finished. It must be the colder weather that makes me think Christmas. Who knows? A few little decorations have been finished. I made some of these last year, but gave them all away, so figured I should make a few to keep. I also […]
May Begins.
Today seems to be the first chance to stay at home for quite a while and I am appreciating the quiet and slow pace of it. A lovely chance to post on the blog, read a few comments and start some stitching. First up a wool mat finish. It is by Buttermilk Basin and is […]
A Winter Finish On A Very Hot Day.
It is Summer, so hot days should be no surprise. But 40 degrees Celsius is pushing it a bit. Mind you, that is 5 degrees cooler than one day last week. So with all that in mind I finished my Winter scene in wool. Didn’t make me feel cooler but I liked the finish. This […]
A Year Of Snow Hearts.
December has arrived and with it the final Snow Hearts have been completed. It has been a lovely journey throughout the year with Joan, Shez and Jeanette. We have been using the free patterns from Bunny Hill Designs and completing one design each month. Thank you to all the ladies for keeping me on track […]
