Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

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 […]




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 […]
