Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Searching For Sunshine.

Not a lot of sunshine here, so it’s a bit  tricky finding the right place and time to take photos. I managed to finish my froggy quilt and get the binding done. I kept to simple quilting over the whole quilt. But used some lovely variegated thread to add interest. I have also been using […]




Happy Halloween!

Too early? Just being prepared. This is a panel by Deb Strain called Moonlight Manor. I was going to cut it up and rearrange the pieces into a larger quilt, but I just couldn’t do it. I loved it the way it was, so the easiest solution was to turn it into a wall hanging. […]




Animals Everywhere.

Some more finishes. The first one is a flimsy I have shown before, but now that it is quilted and bound, it counts a a finish. It is lap size. Love these cute owls. The next one is made using up left over pieces from the jungle quilt I made earlier in the year. The […]




Framed.

I was delighted to be able to pick up my framed embroidery. Very happy with the framing. It’s a bit tricky to photograph an embroidery behind glass, but this gives you the general idea. I have managed to finish 2 of the 5 sets of bunting. The other 3 are all stitched and trimmed up, […]




A Good Weekend.

We have a long weekend courtesy of the Queen, so Monday is a holiday. I have spent my long weekend rediscovering more projects that had been put aside. Nearly two years ago I had started the Fernhill BOM from Lynette Anderson. I made good progress with the stitcheries, but then stumbled when the mini quilt […]




Red Robin.

Another UFO becomes a quilt! I am pleased to say that I have managed to keep working on my UFO pile. But I have also started a few new projects as well. This was a small lap quilt, already sandwiched, so not too much needed to get it done. Just quilting and binding. I know […]




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 […]
