A Flamingo And Some Extras.
Time to say good bye to September. And time to get moving with sewing plans. I seem to have a lot of projects on the go so I need a bit of an effort to finish some. First up is my flamingo embroidery. This is another of Wendy Williams Travel Threads patterns. Wool felt circles […]
Slim Pickings.
As far as my blog is concerned, I had disappeared into a black hole for six weeks. The same goes for my sewing room, hence the title, Slim Pickings, because I have made only a few small items. August is normally a busy month for us with lots of family birthdays, but throw in the […]
Some Sunny Quilts.
We are having a lovely, sunny day here, so I took the opportunity to take some photos outside in the sunshine. Even the breeze gave me a break, now and then. I have been enjoying making these Honey Bouquet quilts from Villa Rosa Designs after seeing all the lovely ones that Nancy has been making. […]
Planning A Picnic.
I had a request for a couple of quilts suitable to use for picnics. I love the way family come up with these ideas. One was to be for Summer picnics and one for the cooler months. This one is light and bright, so it can be for Summer. I had three charm packs so […]
Small Quilts
Happy Hippos and Zebras. I only had a few small pieces but managed to turn out a small quilt. I have been working my way through some of the children’s fabric in my stash to make a few quilts. This ended up around 40 by 55 inches. Black and white spot for the binding. I […]
A Woolly Finish.
It has taken a while, But my Sue Spargo quilt, Tinsel, has been completed. It didn’t take too long to complete each of the blocks and even sew the blocks together. But when it came to the quilting, I was a bit stumped. It was around the time my machine was playing up and didn’t […]
Keeping Busy.
I have been keeping busy with quite a few projects, but it has taken a while to achieve a finish. That’s fine and of course with the cold Winter weather arriving, I am sure the finishes will follow. Cold equals time inside sewing! I have been hunting out all the charm packs that have been […]
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 […]
