March Fires.
It has been a hot and hair raising start to March in our area. Lightning strikes started several fires in the state park only a few kilometers from where we live. This was the view from the car when I first spotted the smoke. By the time I had arrived home the view had changed […]
Finding Fabric For A Finish.
Quite an alliterative title. But not intended that way. I had completed the three panels for my wall hanging and had auditioned fabrics for the border. Both were tone on tone – one green, one blue. Both were lovely and I was having a hard time deciding. So I took my project to my sewing […]
Summer Sewing.
When you live in or near Melbourne you do get used to the changeable weather. We have already had temps in the 40s this month and our aircon has worked overtime. This week we have returned to cooler days in the low 20s (70s). But today decided to play tricks with us and warmed up […]
A Delightful Menagerie.
This quilt has been a long time coming together.I started the embroideries over two years ago. They are not particularly difficult, but many interruptions came along and it was often put aside. It is good to see all the embroideries completed and to have them now together in a quilt. This is All Creatures Great […]
Summer Embroidery.
I often notice that bloggers tend to get very busy with other things when the Summer months are here. It makes sense as there is so much to do outside and we have to make the most of those lovely days. I am in that category as I have only posted once since the new […]
A Very Woolly Post.
Lots of photos today and all are wool related. I have completed the central panel of my wool applique piece. I am now completing the pieced stars that make up the border. The photos show the whole piece and then in smaller sections. The pattern is by Wendy Williams and is called Flocks By Night. […]
An Animal Day.
All the photos of projects in this post have animals. Not planned that way and I didn’t realise until I was preparing the photos. First up are the Little Penguins from a McKenna Ryan block. I am back to working on these blocks. I think there are 3 more to go. I am being very […]
Woolly Finishes.
I have been catching up on recent workshop projects and have managed two finishes. These are from a day spent with Gail Pan and Bonnie Sullivan. The finishes are the patterns from Bonnie (All Through the Night). The first one is the sewing case. It came with a pre-printed background and the applique is wool. […]
Making Progress.
Bits and pieces are coming together so it is good to see progress being made. The first bit of progress is with the blog itself. Several times I have tried to add a subscribe button on the side but because my site is a mix of blog and web page it just didn’t want to […]
Brrrr ……. And Some Stitches.
Yes, it’s cold here. The heater is working overtime. I think Winter is telling us it is not quite ready to go away. I have used my time inside productively to complete the last stitcheries in this set for All Creatures Great and Small from Natalie Bird. Unfortunately I think the book is no longer […]
