Christmas Starting in June?
Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse has a lovely Christmas quilt design called Christmas Blessings. It has four applique blocks and some pieced blocks. I have completed two of the applique blocks. I have chosen to do raw edge applique for these and I have hand embroidered the words and decorations. There are some stars to […]
More Bertie.
We have had a long weekend here, so I put my head down and made dozens of half square triangles. These are used for the sashings and border for the Bertie quilt. The end result is that the top is finished. It has been windy but I managed to get a nearly still picture. The […]
Fernhill Is Finished.
It looks like everything with my blog is back in action. The previous post went up, then after a day my whole blog disappeared. Apparently my website had something that was not compatible with WordPress updates and this created an error. Thankfully all has been rectified now – thanks, Tim! After a long, long time […]
Scrap Logs And Woolly Jumpers.
I know I have commented in recent posts how we seem to have had an extended Summer, so it will come as no surprise when I say that Winter has finally hit. I think it really hits home when the mornings are cold enough for the heater to go on. Definitely time for slippers. I […]
Tigers And AQC.
Football season started here several weeks ago and it turns out that our 4yo grandson needed a hat and scarf to support his team. The lovely part is he has chosen his team purely because of the animal emblem representing it – a tiger. So now it appears he will be a Richmond supporter. When […]
Rabbits And Birds.
When I first saw this fabric range I really liked it and bought several fat quarters. Of course this creates a problem because I had no particular pattern in mind so then had to work out how to use the fabric. I had seen this layout a while back and thought it would suit. It […]
A Pocketful Of Pink And Purple.
Pink, purple and gold were the requested colours to go into this quilt. Just right for a little girl. Each of those little bags on each block is actually a pocket. They concertina out from the quilt. This quilt will hang on the end of a bunk bed. It can be made any particular size […]
A Terrain Finish.
It is a big finish for me. I am not normally a maker of big quilts, but this one had a mind of its own and grew. It ended up at 80 inches wide and 95 inches long. It sits very nicely on an old fashioned brass double bed. It has been made using a […]
UFO Progress.
It always seems to be a regular start of the year event – attacking the UFOs. For me it is probably because quilts get put aside in the lead up to Christmas as there are other priorities for the festive season. January is very relaxed and there are no sewing commitments so the UFOs get […]
Ready For A Christmas Quilt.
This quilt has been in the works for quite a while, so it is great to see it finally finished and ready to hang for the festive season. This is a Viv’s Creations pattern by Viv Robinson. It is made using raw edge applique. I also chose to do a lot of the embroidery with […]
