Birthdays And Bertie.
The second Bertie block has been completed and I have prepared the third, ready for stitching. I am enjoying working with the wool and it has also made me realise where the gaps are in my stash. That’s a good thing because now I can focus on the colours and patterns I need rather that […]
Monkey Business.
There is not lot of quilting happening here – probably due to the hot and humid weather we are having late into the season. But I have been working with some smaller items. The first finish is a table runner from Bird Brain Designs made in wool felt. It is quite long and will easily […]
A Sleigh Of Santas.
For most of this year I have been working on making dozens of these Santas for Christmas Gifts. I belong to lot of groups and there are quite a few gift exchanges at this time of year. I also wanted some for family, too. This photo probably shows half of the ones I made. […]
Perfect Weather For Snowmen.
It is so chilly here at the moment that I think these snowmen would feel very much at home. This is a felt mat that is about 60 cm wide. (24 ins) I made a few changes along the way. It is supposed to have tongues around the outside. That would make it too wide […]
Making Progress.
It’s cold! I am trying to adjust to the quick change around from being hot and wearing short sleeves, to swapping into sweaters and shoes. This is only in a matter of two weeks. Time has been well spent finishing off a quilt top. This is a Viv Robinson design. Lots of raw edge applique. […]
The End Of The Month.
If it’s White Rabbit for the start of a month, what is it for the last day? I have no idea! This has to have been one of the mildest Januarys in this area for a long time. It has certainly made daily living in the middle of Summer very easy. On the sewing front […]
Starting 2015.
2015 has definitely started here in true Australian fashion … heat, fires, beach and thunderstorms. I suppose I should be used to this by now. We did have a mild start to Summer with few really hot days, but as soon as the calendar kicked over to the New Year that changed with days up […]
Playing Catch Up With Christmas.
As always at this time of year, Christmas is coming far too quickly. It is hard to stay in front. But a lovely parcel arrived last week to improve the situation. It turns out Cheryll of Gone Stitchin is my final FHFS partner for 2014 and look at this lovely sight. How lucky am I? […]
August.
I had a very lovely lady notice that I hadn’t been posting anything on my blog for quite a while, and she was checking to see if everything was alright. What a sweetie. So here I am, just scraping in for an August post. Sewing time has been extremely limited as most days have been […]
Happy, Happy Easter.
The Easter break is a lovely time. A four day holiday. Here we get Good Friday and Easter Monday as public holidays. And for those who work it gets even better because the following Friday is the Anzac Day holiday, so that means it is only a 3 day working week. I think a lot […]
