Bird Houses And Teddies.
I have continued to make more of the Strippie quilts with fabric that has waited patiently in my stash. I will get a few more made for donations, in between some of my own quilts. This one stood out with its bright colours and bird houses. The birdhouse fabric and the flowers on the blue […]
Abandoned.
This quilt is made using the Tim Holtz fabric called Abandoned. It is made using 10 fat quarters using a design named Geneva. Very simple and basic but making the most of the fabrics. That made the quilt 48 by 60, but I felt it needed to be bigger, so I chased up some more […]
Surfs Up!
The title of the post makes sense as soon as you see the fabric in the quilt. Surfboards aplenty! This is the sort of quilt that is perfect for a child who loves the beach and goes surfing. I have used the strippie idea again for the centre of the quilt. That lets me keep […]
Quilt Monopoly.
There are so many monopoly variations that I wonder if there is one dedicated to quilting. I wouldn’t be surprised!. A friend recently gifted me some monopoly themed fabric to make a donation quilt. The width of the pieces led me to make a Strippie quilt as per Mary’s instructions. Click on her name for […]
Wonky Photos.
I have been trying to get a couple of photos of this quilt, but the weather has either been too bright or too windy. So I resorted to taken a photo inside. To do that I have to hang it across the open doors of a cupboard. Sounds simple, but, no. It makes all the […]
A Fresh New Year 2025.
It has been lovely to have a quiet break since Christmas and over the New Year period. A chance to slow down and recharge is always appreciated. I have especially enjoyed some sewing time without any deadlines. And some knitting while watching TV. Happily, this has lead to some finishes. I had a fat quarter […]
Two More.
These were easy ones. Family members were after two more Christmas quilts to hang on walls. I had a couple of panels with small blocks, so was able to have a bit of a play with layouts. The first one needed to be long and narrow. I always find it tricky working with panels as […]
Playing With Rainbows.
Sewing has taken a back seat for a month or more with other activities taking over. However, I had completed this quilt top which went off to my LAQ. It came back last week and I could not resist getting the binding stitched down. It is a simple brick design. This one is called Zip […]
Using Up Bits And Pieces.
I have had some family requests for Christmas quilts using particular fabrics. But I only had bits and pieces of each one left. So I had to play around a bit with a simple design so I could use what I had. The end result was two similar, but not the same, throw quilts. There […]
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 […]
