Nearly There.
We are nearly ready for the New Year. But there is still a little Christmas to catch up on first. In fact, we haven’t celebrated Christmas with our family yet. Our granddaughter was unwell on Christmas eve, so we had to put off our visit. We will instead catch up in a couple of days. […]
Using Up Bits And Pieces.
I have had some family requests for Christmas quilts using particular fabrics. But I only had bits and pieces of each one left. So I had to play around a bit with a simple design so I could use what I had. The end result was two similar, but not the same, throw quilts. There […]
Steady Progress On Small Items.
After the quilt marathon it has been good to get back to some smaller projects. I have managed to complete another four of the houses from Homegrown. Mine are not always true to the original design. I have added different colours and fabrics, sometimes different stitches and even a ribbon or two. But the essential […]
Seeing Double.
Two identical quilts! Almost. These quilts are single bed size and are part of a donation quilt marathon I am working on. I wanted to get a few quilts made so they can be given as Christmas gifts. I have been helped out by a few people with donations of wadding. I have plenty of […]
More Little bits.
September is strange. The trees are in blossom and the hail is falling. That’s Spring in Melbourne. No such problems with the Sue Spargo houses. Sunshine all the way there. Here is the next installment of eight blocks. I am pleased to be making progress on these as they have been waiting far too long. […]
Little Things.
Our weather continues to cause a lot of problems. I think the only thing we have missed out on is snow, though we did have hail. But in the middle of it all, we had a gorgeous rainbow. And a gorgeous blue sky. We spotted this when out driving. I have been finishing off a […]
Merry December.
It has been a hectic time, but I am determined to do at least one December post! Lots of shopping has happened, including these gorgeous biscuit tins. Love the way the bauble has been incorporated into the tin. And, yes, it spins! The colour and the design on the tin could have easily fitted into […]
Stitching For Christmas.
It seems to be so far away, but I know from past experience that Christmas creeps up really quickly. I am trying to get ahead, but I know it will still be a mad rush in the end. I started with one of these decorations from a Bareroots pattern, Everything Nice Christmas Ornaments. And then […]
August In Felt.
A few little bits and pieces have been finished. And all have been worked in felt. I made a box/cube using four Sue Spargo designs. Each of the designs was stitched onto a felt square. At first I was a bit stumped as to how to use the pieces. I think they were originally in […]
Little Things Grow.
I am still working on lots of little things and achieving some finishes. My Party Penguin is complete and now in its hoop ready to hang. This is a design from Bustle And Sew. Next in line were a few felt decorations from The Wooly Thread Co. I think I purchased one of the patterns […]
