Bunches Or Bouquets.
I have been working on using up left over fabric from particular collections. And I was inspired by Nancy’s ( Grace and Peace) use of a particular pattern, Honey Bouquet (Villa Rosa Designs). My aim was to use up left over fabric from Leesa Chandler. These are the three quilts I have made so far. […]
Working On Finishes.
The blocks for this quilt were made back in 2011. I finished a larger quilt with these blocks in 2012. I put a lot of the leftover blocks aside until later that year, then turned them into a smaller quilt top. And that’s the way it stayed until this month. It was one of my […]
Half Rectangle Triangles.
I have worked often with half square triangles, but have only rarely played with rectangles. When I received this fabric bundle, I thought it was a good chance to see what I could do with the half rectangle triangles. The fabric is called Bloom Wildly by Clothworks and came as 30cm strips. It took a […]
Summer’s End.
Summer’s End sounds like it should be the name of a quaint English village. There I go. Off track and distracted before I even start! Okay, today is officially the last day of Summer for us, but it never feels like it. In fact I think March is one of the best weather months that […]
Finally February.
It has taken until February for me to finally post a sewing item. I thought I would have had time to do this earlier, but obviously there have been a lot of distractions. But I am now spending time in my lovely sewing room, and definitely enjoying it! This quilt is one of many started […]
Hoops And Quilts.
It is definitely starting to get busy. Have you noticed? I think I was trying to ignore it, but it happened anyway. So in the middle of all that I did get some finishes. Two were UFOs. Hooray! The two hoop projects were embroideries designed by Kasia Jacquot. The first one is named Rebecca and […]
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 […]
