Lovely Kits.
At the last craft show in March I purchased several Marg Low kits. This Winter weather has given me the perfect excuse to make a start on them. This one that I have completed is Festive Trinkets. Before. And after. I haven’t added the hanging cord yet as I am debating maybe sewing a small […]
A Few Little Birds.
I have enjoyed completing this little wall hanging from a pattern by Vivian Robinson (Viv’s Creations). It is only 12 by 38 inches, so is an easy project to complete. It is called Birds On The Ladder. It uses raw edge machine applique and a little bit of hand embroidery. It is a great way […]
Two Finishes.
Just a quick visit to show two finishes before they head off to their new homes. This is the little quilt that has been made for some friends who are about to become great grandparents. The baby is due next week, so I have finished just in time. And the other finish is the blanket […]
Some Bunnies.
The final embroidery stitches have gone into the woollen blanket and the little 3D bunnies have been added. All that is left now is the backing and the satin binding. This embroidery is from one of the very early Inspirations magazines (Issue 40). I have used pure wool blanketing from Country Bumpkin and I have […]
Making Progress.
We have the most beautiful day here, today. Clear skies, sunshine, mid 20s and a gentle breeze. Perfect. As a result it is hard to stay inside to sew, but I have been catching up on a few projects. The embroidered blanket is nearly there – hooray! Just a few more leaves needed and then […]
Bunnies and Chooks.
I have continued to play with Easter projects. I needed to make extras of these to send away to some cute little family members. Then I decided I needed to have some of these fun little chickens to put in the parcel, too. Each one has a chocolate Easter egg tucked inside them. They are […]
White Rabbit, White rabbit.
March ends today and we will be in April tomorrow. Daylight saving ends here, so a little time adjustment is needed. And Easter is just around the corner!! Sneaking up fast. I have been able to make a couple of felt rabbits for Easter decorations. I simply did a search for a rabbit template then […]
More Bits.
We are enjoying a lovely long Labour Day weekend here and the weather is treating us very kindly. Beautiful sunshine and warm days. I have managed a little sewing and have finished the Southern Jewels quilt top. It’s a very simple pattern but is designed well to showcase Leesa Chandler‘s gorgeous fabrics. I made the […]
Going Green.
Quite accidentally, everything in this post is green. I only realised that when I was cropping the photos. We have a Magnolia Little Gem in our garden and there have been several flowers, but they have always been wind or rain damaged. It has been delightful to have one open when the weather has been […]
Just Stitching Along.
Totally unrelated to sewing – but I have been enjoying the fun home page on Google today. I can’t help but push the buttons and play with the monsters. They are muppets to mark Jim Henson’s 75th birthday! Now back to my regular sewing. It seems to have been a busy week but I have […]
