Autumn Has Arrived.
Our tree out the front has been keeping a calendar and decided that on the first day of March it would start changing colours. It is still a very young Crimson or Scarlet Oak. This is what it looked like a week ago. It has become a much deeper red and this is the colour […]
Chickens And Pigs Finished.
Yippee! My Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs quilt has made it to the finish line. It has been a lovely quilt to work on and I am now looking forward to catching up with Anni Downs next design. Quilting done and binding finished. Lots of fun, quirky blocks in this quilt. They are all entertaining […]
Lights And Tunnels.
After working on many projects last year with hardly any finishes, I seem to be finding that they are all now coming to an end within weeks of each other. Hence the light at the end of the tunnel. Or a mad rush. I completed the last block for Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. Last […]
Nearly Missed November.
With everything that has been happening I nearly missed November. Talk about getting in by the skin of your teeth! It has been busy here for two reasons. Firstly, the lovely weather has arrived and a lot of time has been spent outside, mostly in the garden. Sun and rain means everything is growing fast. […]
An October Post.
I realised October was getting away from me and if I didn’t post now I would miss it completely. I have been working away on lots of bits and pieces, but only one was a finish. I am steadily getting the blocks done for the Sue Spargo quilt, Homegrown. Lots more to go but a […]

Small Steps.
Work is continuing on UFOs but in small steps. The kangaroos are stitched down and ready for their day at the beach. There are lots of embellishments to go on this block, but not until after quilting. Should have ironed it, too. I was also able to complete another block and add the hexies for […]
Fox And Bee.
Time to get back to old projects that were set aside at the start of this lock down. I had finished the embroidery on these two blocks but had not put together the hexie circles for them. I finally caught up with that task and have completed two more blocks. Bees. Foxes. These are a […]
Easter Stitching.
Happy Easter! Regardless of what is happening in the world, the days still roll by and we reach special dates. I hope many children around the world get to have some fun celebrating Easter. I enjoyed using my Bertie’s Springtime as a backdrop for pictures today. This was a Bonnie Sullivan pattern. I realised I […]

The last day of March. Hard to believe it has come around so quickly. Like many of you I have been digging into my list of projects to be done as well as working on UFOs My finishes for this week are all little things. I have started working on The Twelve Days of Christmas […]
