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. […]




A Red And Grey Extra Quilt.

This is a re-make of my Woodland Quilt from last month. I wanted to make it in totally different fabrics so it was not a baby quilt. I went with the red and grey so it can fit with Christmas without actually being a Christmas quilt. I have used these fabrics in several other quilts. […]




Parallel Lines.

This is the last of a group of quilts I had quilted one after the other. There are still 3 sandwiched and still waiting, but I wanted to stitch the binding and have a few finishes. This is a pattern I have used before from Leanne Beasley’s book, Romancing The Road Trip. I first made […]




Under The Sea.

An extremely easy finish for this quilt. This one started as a bright and colourful panel that was purchased at a quilt show last year. I simply added the last blue batik border and then found lots of bright batiks to use in the piano keys around the outside. I quilted the centre of the […]




Happy Turtles.

This is a quilt design from People, Places and Quilts that I found when we were in South Carolina. It is the sort of design that can be used in so many different ways. The pattern only has a single block design to be made as many times as needed for the quilt size. Then […]




A Woodland Quilt.

Every now and then a particular fabric range catches your eye and becomes a must have. This quilt is a result of that must have. It is small lap size at 41 inches square. I wanted to keep it simple so used the grey fabric in the large 8 1/2 inch blocks and the border. […]
