Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Yes, More Christmas!

I was not quick enough today and missed my chance at taking photos in the sunshine. We seem to be getting only 5 minute bursts in between rain showers. But I understand our farmers still need the rain so that is far more important. This quilt is a bonus as it is made using the […]




Rainbow Cats For Blogger’s Quilt Festival.

This is my second entry  in the Blogger’s Quilt festival for Fall 2017. This wonderful sharing of quilts is organised by Amy Ellis of Amy’s Creative Side. This quilt is another one from earlier in the year and has been on my blog before. There are a lot of lovely pieced animal blocks around and […]




Christmas Stars For Blogger’s Quilt Festival.

I an sharing a quilt in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival  (Fall 2017)run by Amy Ellis from Amy’s Creative Side. This is a quilt I made earlier this year and have shown it before, but I am putting it in a separate post for the festival. The fabric is from the range Countdown To Christmas by […]




Semi Circles Or Windmills.

Time to catch up on some quilting. This one has been sandwiched for a while and I finally gave it time on the machine last week. It is actually the last one waiting in line that was sandwiched. There are still stacks of flimsies waiting to be sandwiched and hopefully I can make a dent […]




Little Finishes.

It is good to be getting back on track with  some quilting. I have had this panel sandwiched for a while and thought it would be good to do to get back into the swing of FMQ. I have only added an inner and outer border to make it slightly larger. It will be good […]




A Day At AQC.

I enjoyed a lovely day at the Australasian Quilt Convention in Melbourne. Perfect weather to walk through the garden to the Exhibition Building and enjoy the displays inside. This building lends itself so well to displays of this kind. It is worth going to just to look at the lovely restoration work on the building […]




Seeing Stars, Again.

Back to the UFO pile and some quilting! I was able to finish this quilt and complete the binding. The fabric is from the range Countdown To Christmas by Sweetwater. I wanted to make the star shape the negative space in this one so use the dots on a cream background. Same fabric in the […]




Sudoku Quilt.

Another week, another quilt. I am trying my best to catch up with UFOs. I received this as a kit from the lovely ladies at Sewing Connection. This quilt came together very easily, especially as I enjoy Sudoku puzzles. The layout is based on the 9 by 9 Sudoku puzzle. There are nine 5 inch […]




Quilts For Boys.

Choosing fabrics to make into quilts for children is always very tricky, especially when those children get to an age where they like to be particular about what goes in their room. Our grandie knew the design he wanted but not the fabric. My solution was to point our grandson to a few quilt fabric […]




Completed Cats.

There are a lot of lovely pieced animal blocks around and Elizabeth Hartman has a great collection of them. I have adapted her cat mini quilt to make a full sized bed quilt. This is one of her easier blocks but it still involved a little bit of fiddling around. Every cat block is a […]
