Bow Ties.
Some quilts need time to sit for a while before the right plan comes along to finish them. This Bow Tie quilt was one of those. I really didn’t know what to do with the white empty spaces. So it sat for several years until I came up with a plan and had the skill […]
Keeping On Finishing.
Having the time to quilt some flimsies is a wonderful thing. I have completed another quilt that has been waiting patiently for a few months. It is a very simple design but it works so well with these lovely fabrics. I added a background fabric that is cream on white design. Quilting stayed simple – […]
Starting A Happy New Year.
Happy New Year. It is always good to start with a holiday! The Christmas/New Year break has been relatively quiet so I have been able to get back into some sewing. As is often the case, I had some Christmas UFOs to complete. So I got down to quilting and binding. A finish!! I cut […]
Christmas Crazy.
A quilt finish!! Yay! I had a pack of turnovers and some leftover fabric from the Crazy Eights range. I did a bit of juggling and was able to make this lap/wall size quilt. I headed outside for photos but really battled with the wind. This is the best I could do. It is a […]
Sweet Baby Stripes.
No co-operation from the weather today so some of the photos are a little dull. But they still show how the quilt looks. It does look very sad and sorry in this photo. Hopefully the close ups give a better impression. This quilt is made with two and a half inch strips. Most are from […]
Another Christmas Finish.
Finishing a quilt is easy when they are smaller wall hangings. I was able to quilt this one in no time and then finish off the binding in the morning. This is the one by Natalie Bird of Birdhouse Designs called Christmas Blessings. I showed it recently as a flimsy. Thankfully it is not that […]
Spring Bunny, Birds And Flowers.
Back again, thanks to a heads up from Mary. And sorry to anyone who tried to comment and couldn’t with the last post. There was a gremlin in the mix but thankfully my amazing computer whiz (son) fixed it. I am very grateful for that. On to all things sewing. I had shown Bertie’s Spring […]
Red And green Mixed Blocks.
A mixture of reds, greens and creams has led to this quilt. I had been wanting to make blocks which were scrappy and could use fabrics from my stash. I was originally working on blocks for two separate quilts, but realised with a little tweaking I could combine them into one larger quilt. I started […]
A Santa Flimsy.
I am steadily getting myself back into a sewing routine. After having 3 weeks with a house full it takes a little bit of adjusting to get used to the quiet. I have made plenty of clothes for various dolls for our visiting grandies, but this is the first of my projects I have returned […]
Completed Blocks.
I need to do a little blog house keeping first. Linda, for some reason my replies to you keep bouncing back. Not sure why. I also have had a few anonymous comments on the last 4 posts and I am sorry but I can’t reply to those either. I have tried to work out who […]
