Quilt Calculations.
Getting photos has been very tricky of late. Although the days have been warm they have also been windy or wet. Yesterday we had crazy thunderstorms, but in between we had beautiful sunshine. I managed to keep my quilt undercover and took shots in between storm fronts. Yes, I had to squeeze in around the […]
Back To Red And White.
It doesn’t matter what I seem to do, I always come back to red and white in my quilts. So, here is another one. Not the best light or angle, but it gives a reasonable idea. It is a combination of single squares and 4 patch blocks. Lots of fabrics are the reverse pattern of […]
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 […]
