Little Finishes.
It is good to be getting back on track with some quilting. I have had this panel sandwiched for a while and thought it would be good to do to get back into the swing of FMQ. I have only added an inner and outer border to make it slightly larger. It will be good […]
Back On Track.
Hello August! The McKenna Ryan blocks for Aussie Christmas are steadily growing. They are very time consuming but well worth the effort. The ornaments need to have hanging ribbons added, but I need to find ones that I like. That part can easily wait as I know the rest of the blocks will not be […]
Catching Up On June.
NB. My blog issues re following seem to have been sorted out. If you wish to follow please use the follow by email directions near the comment section (not the RSS feed at the top of this page – that is not working.) My blog is also now showing up in blog readers again so […]
A little Bird Told Me.
I do have a little bird, but it hasn’t really told me anything. This is a Trish Burr design that was in a Christmas issue of Inspirations magazine the Christmas before last. It is worked in single strand DMC and is only a couple of inches in size. It is worked on hanky linen. I […]
Seeing Stars, Again.
Back to the UFO pile and some quilting! I was able to finish this quilt and complete the binding. The fabric is from the range Countdown To Christmas by Sweetwater. I wanted to make the star shape the negative space in this one so use the dots on a cream background. Same fabric in the […]
Three Trees.
Another bundle of tiny cushions has been completed and this time they come in threes. The design itself, from Marg Low, has three trees. And then I made three cushions and played with each of the designs. The first one was done with hand embroidery. The second was with fabric stitched on by machine. And […]
Animals Everywhere.
I am still not sure about what is working with my blog and what is not, but here I go regardless. Today’s theme appears to be animals – purely by accident. First up, Michelle’s lovely patterns have been turned into a cushion. It was going to be a banner but I liked this better. I […]
Small Finishes.
In the middle of all that is busy at Christmas, I have been able to achieve a couple of small finishes. This is another of Marg Low’s lovely felt ornaments. I always want to make several of each of these. Maybe if all is quiet after Christmas. I have finished stitching some of Michelle Ridgway’s […]
Busy Chrissy The 2nd.
Apologies to those who have received this post already. I am re-posting it to see if I can sort out some glitches from Tuesday. Cheers, Karen. I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. […]
Busy Chrissy.
I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. This is the crazy week for me. Three Christmas parties down and three more to go this week. All the cards and parcels that need to […]
