October Finishes.
I am enjoying our beautiful Spring weather here in October. Gorgeous sunshine and the garden is very happy. I have continued to work on projects that need finishing. Several of those have been Wendy Williams patterns. This wall hanging is a combination of three different designs. Here they are before they were stitched together and […]
Snow People.
Thankfully we have no snow here, but it is possible, although very rare! My snow people are the woolly kind from a pattern by Bonnie Sullivan. This photo is deceptive because the piece is quite large, 45 X 14 inches, but of course is very hard to show in a photo. To show each of […]
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. […]
