Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

And Another One.

When we were waiting for this last grand baby to arrive, I had the first quilt (from my last post) well under way and nearing completion. But I had the bug to also make a just in case quilt. I wanted to make one that was specifically for a little girl. At that stage we […]




A Baby Quilt.

This little quilt was completed a couple of months ago, but I had to wait for our gorgeous little grand daughter to arrive before I could show it here. I was then delayed another two weeks because I became ill and wasn’t going to visit while I still had a chance of passing on my […]




Making Progress.

It’s cold! I am trying to adjust to the quick change around from being hot and wearing short sleeves, to swapping into sweaters and shoes. This is only in a matter of two weeks. Time has been well spent finishing off a quilt top. This is a Viv Robinson design. Lots of raw edge applique. […]




Paw Prints All Over My Quilts!

Yes, there are paw prints all over my quilt but I am very happy to see them there. This is another UFO done and dusted. This is a simple strip quilt based on Mary’s pattern. I have made it slightly longer, then added borders. I loved the dog fabric when I saw it and decided […]




A Quilted Garden.

I spent a lovely day at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne where the beautiful Australian Garden has been developed. But on this visit I wasn’t there to see the gardens. I went to view the Australian Textile Exhibition featuring Leesa Chandler’s gorgeous fabrics and many other displays. These are made with Leesa’s lovely fabrics. […]




Another Under The Australian Sun.

This is my third quilt using fabrics from Leesa Chandler’s fabric line – Under The Australian Sun. And I still have more fabrics from this range to play with. Obviously it is a favourite.   This quilt is made from the lattice garden pattern. Here is the fabric in the backing. It has taken me […]




Red Again.

Can’t help it. Red just keeps featuring! This is a little wall hanging using the left over pieces of Holiday Frost from a quilt I made a couple of years ago. I did some straight lines through the centre panel simply to secure the layers. Then I did some echo quilting on the red triangles […]




A Winter Finish.

It’s the middle of Summer and I am finishing a Winter quilt. This is a little lap size quilt using a free design from Erin Russek of One Piece At A Time. I started it several years ago and then it was set aside as I found other distractions. I appliqued each mitten with satin […]




Lovely Colours.

Over the past few weeks I have been playing with these lovely fabrics.   This is a baby quilt I have made for our niece. She is due in the first week of December.   It is made using HSTs. I started with 12 fat quarters and still have fabric over. The fabric is all […]




A Zoo Quilt.

Here we go.  This will really test out whether all the repairs and upgrades work. If this post works I can then  see if you can comment and if I can reply. Fingers crossed. Several weeks ago I managed to complete this quilt top and send it to my LAQ. It came back within a […]
