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 […]




An Angel, A Show And Photos.

A mixed post today with all sorts! There is another finish from the UFO collection. This is a Christmas Angel from Disa Designs. I have patterns for penguins, snowmen and santas from the same designer. I need to get stitching. Her hair is made from little bells. There is a set of three, but I […]




Hello May.

May is the middle of Autumn for us but today is still a short sleeves day. No complaints from me! I may as well start the month with a finished quilt. These have been few and far between but hopefully I am back on track with these. This is a basic pinwheel quilt made using […]




A February Quilt Finish.

Finally a quilt finish. It has taken me until February but it is done. Good to be getting back to finishing quilts. It is a very simple design made up of half square triangles. The same colours are paired up to make a rectangular block. They can be put together to make any sized quilt. […]
