Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Keeping Warm.

Lots of chilly mornings here but we are getting lovely sunshine during the day. All the heating systems are working overtime at night keeping us snug and warm. Perfect weather for these little frosties which are stitched from designs made by Michelle from Michelle Ridgway Designs. These are stitched from Cottage Garden Threads. I plan […]




Welcome To Winter.

Brrrr…. . Winter has arrived here. Cold, wet and windy. Good time to stay inside where it is warm and dry. I have been working on my blocks for the Wendy Williams quilt, Over the Hill. Two more blocks have been added. These two blocks are part of the centre row. There are lots of […]




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 […]




The Wool Theme Continues.

I may as well make the most of working with wool while the temps stay low. Spring has given us some lovely days but it is not getting hot anytime soon. I have added to my baby gift supply with a couple of sleeping rabbits. The design is by Twins Knitting Patterns, the same designer […]




Keeping Busy.

Welcome Spring. It has been lovely to get outside in the sunshine over the last week. But there has still been plenty of time to fit in some stitching, too. Three of these little friends have been put together. I tuck these away for gifts. They are an easy project to have on hand. I […]




Wool And More Wool.

Working with wool is a delight in Winter. It always feels cosy and warm. First up is another knitted finish. This is a cardigan for our granddaughter. This is made with a wool from Bendigo. I sent a photo through to her when it was finished and had a selection of buttons grouped by colour […]




Pelican Progress.

Okay. I am getting my head around Stage 4 lock down here in Greater Melbourne. There is a lot to keep track of but for us I suppose it is still stay home, don’t visit anyone and wear a mask if you have to go out. This time round we have a big stoppage of […]




A March Mixture.

There are a lot of bits and pieces that still need finishing, so I will try to keep on top of those UFOs in March. Knowing that Easter is around the corner, I managed to find a frame for this little rabbit. I think it is a Bonnie Sullivan design (All Through The Night) I […]




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 […]




Knitting For Winter.

Perfect Winter weather for knitting! I do enjoy making smaller knitted items as they come together so quickly. This is made with a yarn from New Zealand (Crucci) – 8 ply and pure wool. It is so soft and is machine washable. The pink and cream works well together. I am making steady progress on […]
