Making Progress.
Little by little, progress is being made on a variety of projects. I had a little mini panic the other day when I realised how close Christmas was. So I got stuck into a few Christmas plans. These are small ornaments from Marg Low’s range. These Santa sack decorations are about 3 inches high. And […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Easter, Yay!
We are having a gorgeous Easter long weekend with beautiful sunny days. Even the resident magpie family agree and have been out and about checking out the Autumn foliage. Easter decorating has been happening and there are a couple of new additions. A little crochet bunny. And a new hoop embroidery. This is a Kathy […]
Bringing 2021 To A Close.
The last day of the year crept up a lot quicker than I had expected. But here it is. So before the New Year starts I managed to finish a couple of Christmas projects. These are part of a series of wool stockings designed by Michelle L Palmer. Michelle kindly shares these designs freely each […]
A Week To Go.
One week until Christmas day. And another year nearly behind us. Wow! Lots of Christmas sewing has been happening, but I have also managed to finish my quilt top for Over The Hill by Wendy Williams. This was the last block. When it was joined to the others in the row, there were a few […]
The Halfway Mark For 2021.
Surprising to think that we are already half way through 2021. Maybe I have been busier than I thought. Although not sure my stitching shows that. We are having some lovely sunny Winter days. Still very cold but great to see the sun shining. After having little opportunity to sew for a month or more, […]
