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 […]
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 […]
