Sunburnt Quilts

Little Christmas Bits.

This week is a good time to catch up on a few little bits and pieces. I started these button stars a long, long time ago. For some reason they were hidden away. All the hard work of sewing on the buttons was done and all I had to do was sew on a backing. […]




Melting Snowmen.

It is super hot here today so no snowmen would survive. There would be a lot of puddles instead. Thankfully my snowmen are made from felt and can withstand the heat easily. I have not made this design before so this time I made enough to give away and one to keep.  I am only […]




Back On Track.

Hello August! The McKenna Ryan blocks for Aussie Christmas are steadily growing. They are very time consuming but well worth the effort. The ornaments need to have hanging ribbons added, but I need to find ones that I like. That part can easily wait as I know the rest of the blocks will not be […]




Catching Up On June.

NB. My blog issues re following seem to have been sorted out. If you wish to follow please use the follow by email directions near the comment section (not the RSS feed at the top of this page – that is not working.) My blog is also now showing up in blog readers again so […]




Small Finishes.

In the middle of all that is busy at Christmas, I have been able to achieve a couple of small finishes. This is another of Marg Low’s lovely felt ornaments. I always want to make several of each of these. Maybe if all is quiet after Christmas. I have finished stitching some of Michelle Ridgway’s […]




Felt Ornaments Again.

The collection continues to grow. There are more felt ornaments added to the collection. First up – a reverse in colour from last week. These are white cats with red stitching. Hope they look good on the tree.   Next up I started on some trees. The red ones are first and I am currently […]




Christmas Plans For November.

The horses are off and racing but I am happy to watch the big race on TV – Melbourne Cup. It is overcast and cool so I hope all the race goers stay warm and dry. I have decided it is time to catch up with a few Christmas plans and make some decorations. When […]




Little Pillows.

It is a very busy time here, but I have still managed a couple of finishes. These are small six inch pillows. Little pieces of wool felt  on a cotton background. Then a few added embroidery stitches in perle cotton. Too easy. Okay. I am off to play with grandies. Cheers, Karen   Save




Bird And Possum.

A quick post for today. Bertie has kept me busy and now the final block is done. Oops. Just realised there is a button to be added. (That’s the bonus of photos – seeing mistakes or missing parts!). All the blocks are now done so I need to start all the HSTs that are used […]




Bears, Possums And Flowers.

This really is gong to be an all sorts post for today.  It has been an enjoyably busy time time with several workshops and  little travel  squeezed in as well. We spent a few days in the Bendigo and Maldon region last week. We managed to dodge the windy days and had several delightful sunny […]
