Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

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 trackĀ  […]




A Very Woolly Post.

Lots of photos today and all are wool related. I have completed the central panel of my wool applique piece. I am now completing the pieced stars that make up the border. The photos show the whole piece and then in smaller sections. The pattern is by Wendy Williams and is called Flocks By Night. […]




November Hearts.

This is the second last month for the year of Bunny Hill Snow Hearts. I have kept this one simple and have removed the words as Australia does not celebrate Thanksgiving. They still look lovely. I often find that I am working on several projects at one time and often have nothing in particular to […]




Woolly Finishes.

I have been catching up on recent workshop projects and have managed two finishes. These are from a day spent with Gail Pan and Bonnie Sullivan. The finishes are the patterns from Bonnie (All Through the Night). The first one is the sewing case. It came with a pre-printed background and the applique is wool. […]
