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 […]
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 […]
