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 […]
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 […]
