Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Birthdays And Bertie.

The second Bertie block has been completed and I have prepared the third, ready for stitching. I am enjoying working with the wool and it has also made me realise where the gaps are in my stash. That’s a good thing because now I can focus on the colours and patterns I need rather that […]




A Sleigh Of Santas.

For most of this year I have been working on making dozens of these Santas for Christmas Gifts. I belong to  lot of groups and there are quite a few gift exchanges at this time of year. I also wanted some for family, too. This photo probably shows half of the ones I made.   […]




Australia Post And Tilda.

I posted my Tilda swap yesterday afternoon and was very surprised to receive an email from Christine this morning to say that it had arrived. Well done Australia Post! Christine, of MacDonald’s Patch, is my swap partner for this round. Christine’s camera doesn’t want to work so I will post my photos for the swap. […]




A Tilda Delight.

We are up to the second swap in our FHFS group. Fiona is extremely organised and has already sent me her gorgeous parcel.  I have been watching her give little peeks on her blog but never thought it would be coming to me. Look at how Fiona has used pretty doilies to decorate the parcel […]




A White Rabbit Day.

White rabbits for the first day of April. And Easter is sneaking up quickly, too. I have completed my felt candle mat in time for the Easter Bunny. Here’s the link again to the book.     I also saw a variation of this on Pinterest just using one bunny. So of course I had […]




Knit, Purl etc.

Lots of little knitting has been happening here in the last week or two.  Having to be in different places and doing a bit of waiting around lends itself to having an easy carry project like knitting. I have made several of these monkeys before from a Twins Knitting pattern. I have been playing with […]




Lots Of Little Things.

It has been very busy here over the last couple of weeks but I have had a chance to do some sewing for some little ones. First off there are these two little doll quilt wraps. They are 24 by 24 inches and have a 13 by 13 inch pocket in the middle. That is […]




Some Little Bits.

I am still getting used to the change back from daylight saving in that it gets dark in the evenings before I am ready.  Give me another week and I should be back on track.   I have been very fortunate in that I have spent 3 days in at the Australasian Quilt Convention. As […]




Critters And Art…….And NYC.

I am so pleased to see our supermarkets moving away from the drab shopping bags. This is the great design on one of the grocery bags I found recently. I hope we see a lot more branching out with their designs. The weather has been hot but I have had some knitting to do. The […]




A Pleasant Break.

This week we were able to spend a few days away at Metung on the lakes in Gippsland. We were incredibly lucky with the weather.  Sunshine and warm temps every day. One of the days was spent in Buchan around the caves area.  We enjoyed some of the lovely walks and the trees looked beautiful […]
