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 […]
Ribbit, Ribbit.
I wanted an easy project to play with just to give me a little bit of sewing time. I really like the quick strippie quilts made by Mary of Making Scrap Quilts From Stash, but the focus fabric I had was not WOF. It was only a fat quarter. So, as they say, necessity is […]
August.
I had a very lovely lady notice that I hadn’t been posting anything on my blog for quite a while, and she was checking to see if everything was alright. What a sweetie. So here I am, just scraping in for an August post. Sewing time has been extremely limited as most days have been […]
A Little Sunshine Is very Welcome.
It was a delight to wake this morning to see the sun shining and some blue sky. We have had several weeks of overcast and rainy days. And a lot of fog. It is still chilly and there is some wind, but seeing the sun makes a big difference. I made the most of it […]
Making The Most Of The Day.
Trying to take an outside photo of a quilt is very tricky at this time of the year. It can be windy, cloudy, wet or any combination of all three. Today was very cloudy and windy, but I took advantage of the wind easing off to snap a few pics because I knew there was […]
