Finding Fabric For A Finish.
Quite an alliterative title. But not intended that way. I had completed the three panels for my wall hanging and had auditioned fabrics for the border. Both were tone on tone – one green, one blue. Both were lovely and I was having a hard time deciding. So I took my project to my sewing […]
Summer Sewing.
When you live in or near Melbourne you do get used to the changeable weather. We have already had temps in the 40s this month and our aircon has worked overtime. This week we have returned to cooler days in the low 20s (70s). But today decided to play tricks with us and warmed up […]
A Delightful Menagerie.
This quilt has been a long time coming together.I started the embroideries over two years ago. They are not particularly difficult, but many interruptions came along and it was often put aside. It is good to see all the embroideries completed and to have them now together in a quilt. This is All Creatures Great […]
A Winter Finish On A Very Hot Day.
It is Summer, so hot days should be no surprise. But 40 degrees Celsius is pushing it a bit. Mind you, that is 5 degrees cooler than one day last week. So with all that in mind I finished my Winter scene in wool. Didn’t make me feel cooler but I liked the finish. This […]
A Very Woolly Post.
Lots of photos today and all are wool related. I have completed the central panel of my wool applique piece. I am now completing the pieced stars that make up the border. The photos show the whole piece and then in smaller sections. The pattern is by Wendy Williams and is called Flocks By Night. […]
An Animal Day.
All the photos of projects in this post have animals. Not planned that way and I didn’t realise until I was preparing the photos. First up are the Little Penguins from a McKenna Ryan block. I am back to working on these blocks. I think there are 3 more to go. I am being very […]
November Hearts.
This is the second last month for the year of Bunny Hill Snow Hearts. I have kept this one simple and have removed the words as Australia does not celebrate Thanksgiving. They still look lovely. I often find that I am working on several projects at one time and often have nothing in particular to […]
All Through The Night.
I have been to a couple of workshops with Bonnie Sullivan from All Through The Night where I have received a couple of her lovely patterns, and bought a couple more. After getting them stitched I decided to combine them into a small wall hanging rather that individual items. Each block is a pre-printed design […]
Finally! A Quilt Finish!
It really does seem like ages since I finished a quilt so I am delighted to have finally made it across the finish line with one. Of course my excitement was not reflected in the weather and I had to make do with an overcast day ( or three). The design reminds me of mosaic […]
Making Progress.
Bits and pieces are coming together so it is good to see progress being made. The first bit of progress is with the blog itself. Several times I have tried to add a subscribe button on the side but because my site is a mix of blog and web page it just didn’t want to […]
