Planning For Christmas.
I take a long time to get some embroideries completed. Especially when they are put aside when other projects take priority. So on that basis I am always pleased when I can achieve a finish. This is a Trish Burr design and was in Inspirations magazine, Issue 92. It is mostly stitched with DMC threads, […]
April Snow Hearts.
April in the northern hemisphere is said to bring April showers. I would love to have some April showers here, too. It is still very dry and the garden would love a drop of rain. Together with Joan, Shez and Jeanette, I have completed the snow hearts for April from the pattern by Bunny Hill […]
Snowies In A Basket.
The felt theme has continued with a little finish – a small penny rug. Such an easy one to make. As always I have added to the original design with some buttons and a bit more embroidery. Can’t help myself. Now it is time to get back to some quilting. Have a lovely week. Cheers, […]
2018 Begins.
Here’s to another New Year! I do hope it has been a good start for everyone. Our garden decided it was the perfect time to be busy so I have been picking a lot of strawberries and blueberries . Most of the strawberries ended up as jam. The blueberries ended up being eaten rather […]
Little Christmas Bits.
This week is a good time to catch up on a few little bits and pieces. I started these button stars a long, long time ago. For some reason they were hidden away. All the hard work of sewing on the buttons was done and all I had to do was sew on a backing. […]
Melting Snowmen.
It is super hot here today so no snowmen would survive. There would be a lot of puddles instead. Thankfully my snowmen are made from felt and can withstand the heat easily. I have not made this design before so this time I made enough to give away and one to keep. I am only […]
Off The Radar
Summer has started here with a bang – as in storms and rain. Our state had severe weather warnings out and there was a lot of rain in some areas as well as flooding. No flooding here but a lot of rain and the garden is happy. I know the weeds are growing fast. I […]
Yes, More Christmas!
I was not quick enough today and missed my chance at taking photos in the sunshine. We seem to be getting only 5 minute bursts in between rain showers. But I understand our farmers still need the rain so that is far more important. This quilt is a bonus as it is made using the […]
Christmas Stars For Blogger’s Quilt Festival.
I an sharing a quilt in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival (Fall 2017)run by Amy Ellis from Amy’s Creative Side. This is a quilt I made earlier this year and have shown it before, but I am putting it in a separate post for the festival. The fabric is from the range Countdown To Christmas by […]
Little Red Cushions.
I think I have been working away on these little stitcheries over quite a few years. They are the ones I tended to pick up and take with me when I needed a portable project. These are the Christmas tree design. I have completed the set of 12 stitcheries from a pattern by Lynette Anderson […]
