Donation Marathon.
I have reached the end of my quilting marathon for donation quilts. I will be delivering them in the next fortnight so they can either be distributed or used for Christmas parcels. I seem to choose windy days for photos, But I think I managed to catch most of the quilts with only a little […]
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 […]
Windy Weather.
Our days are warming but with that we seem to be having a lot of windy days. It has been quite destructive in some areas. The wind was very strong earlier in the week, eased off, and then returned last night. I spent a large part of the morning cleaning up my front yard which […]
Something Different.
These quilts are quite different to the ones I usually make. They came about due to a family request. We were recently visiting the US and my son came with me to a quilt store. He took a shine to one of the patterns and asked me to make it – twice. So we bought […]
A Cast Of Hundreds.
Yes, hundreds, but not thousands. I have been collecting fabrics for this quilt for several years. Mostly my fabrics but also some from nearby friends and also bloggy friends. ( See if you can find yours, Susan.) I started out thinking I would make a low volume quilt and started collecting and cutting my 3 […]
Using What’s There.
I have been looking through all my supplies and trying to use up fabrics. I made a quilt many years back with charm squares in a blue Christmas theme. I kept the ones not used at the time and recently found them again. I had plenty of blue themed fabric that could be added and […]
Keeping Warm And Busy.
I have been outside keeping busy in the garden. I have been covering some of the plants as there is a frost predicted for tonight. It may not keep the plants warm, but it should prevent frost damage. Even with gloves on, my fingers noticed the chill. I had a little celebration this week as […]
Blue Crossroads.
This is the last of the quilts made with the blue bundles purchased at the end of last year. I had to add in a little from my stash, but I managed to use up the last of the bundles. It is about 60 X 60 inches. I must admit that I did not find […]
Getting Back To Normal.
We are back at home and trying hard to adjust to our own time zone. The cold is also a huge shock! We have spent the last month in South Carolina where the temps have been in the 80s and 90s (F). Back home and we are lucky to get to 55F (13C). Takes a […]
Blue Snowflakes And Grey Bunnies.
A smaller quilt finish for today. Over the years I have collected smaller pieces of flannel fabric, but have not often sewn with them. When I was doing a tidy up I realised that pile of flannel fabrics had grown and needed to be used. We need a couple of warm quilts to have as […]
