An October Update.
I sometimes think that when October begins we have a starter calling out Ready, Set, Go!. Everything gets busy all of a sudden. Lots of things are happening and there is always something to do. The obvious one for us is Daylight Saving coming in. And Spring seems to have found its feet and the […]
Happy Hexagons.
I have been working away at my hexagon blocks for a while now. They were inspired by Emma Jean Jansen’s Tussie Mussie cushion. I started out small wondering if I would stick with it. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed doing it. Even the hand stitching around each hexagon cluster with the perle […]
Jungle Doubles.
I found that I still had a couple of panels that needed to be made into quilts, and both had a jungle theme. I played around a little with colours and sizes as they went together. There are eight blocks in this panel, so to make it into nine, I added some fabric in the […]
Singles And Doubles.
The single refers to the hat I have knitted. It matches the jumper in my last post. Because the balls of wool from Bendigo are 200grams, I often find there is enough left over for a scarf or a hat. I am hoping to deliver the jumper and hat this evening when we go to […]
Lots Of Progress, But Only One Finish.
I often wonder if the Winter weather makes me take on projects that take a while to finish. Do I choose ones that are going to keep me inside where it is warm? Maybe I sub-consciously do. I have been keeping the needles working in the evenings to finish this jumper for Miss 10yo. She […]
Small Steps.
I have been keeping busy, but not necessarily achieving a lot of finishes. Lots of knitting and hand stitching being done, so slow progress there. But for a change of pace I decided to complete a few donation quilt requests. This way I can get some finishes and still keep working on the slow stitching. […]
Sea Creatures.
Sue Spargo put together a fabric bundle of sea creatures, coral and kelp in black, white and a tiny touch of blue. I bought a bundle with the plan to make a very simple quilt with the addition of some more blue. I have given up trying to avoid the wind when taking photos. Yes, […]
Neptune.
I think that is the name of the fabric in this quilt. I know I bought it quite some time ago, maybe 10 years? Not totally sure. I found a pattern designed for layer cakes, but also altered for charm packs. That was what I had in my pile and thankfully there was enough to […]
Paris Again.
Paris the fabric, not the city. Although I would enjoy being in Paris. I have been using the left over Dance in Paris fabric. I made another quilt over two years ago but still had a fair bit left from the fat quarter bundle. There was enough to make this quilt. It is called Fat […]
Welcome To Winter.
Brrr. It is a holiday weekend here as well as the first weekend of Winter. I think my holiday will be staying at home and keeping warm. My trees are still in Autumn, but with the winds we are having, I am sure the leaves will be gone very soon. My taxi driving requests are […]
