Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

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 […]




A Tilda Delight.

We are up to the second swap in our FHFS group. Fiona is extremely organised and has already sent me her gorgeous parcel.  I have been watching her give little peeks on her blog but never thought it would be coming to me. Look at how Fiona has used pretty doilies to decorate the parcel […]




For A New Arrival.

This is the quilt I have been working to finish this week. It is a baby quilt ready to head to a new baby who arrived last week. Lots of HSTs turned into this. I took it outside for a photo on the grass in the sunshine. but the grass was uneven and I realised […]




Welcome Winter.

Here we are at the start of Winter, but my trees seem to have skipped a season. As you can see in the photo there are hardly any leaves turning colour or falling to the ground. Yet only a few streets away, these same trees have dropped their leaves and the branches are bare. Very […]




A Sunshine Day.

What a beautiful start to Mother’s Day! The sun has been shining all morning  and looks like staying for the whole day. Couldn’t be better. I managed to finally finish a  little wall hanging that had been waiting patiently for so long. It only needed the binding done,, but that was delayed because I could […]




A Kitchen Window Finish.

The binding is done and the quilt is ready. So good to have another finish! Here it is blowing in the wind. And while the sun was shining, here is the back, too. I am very pleased with the decision to use the strong contrast of black and white with these bright colours. It has […]




Spring Flowers in Autumn.

Not really. It’s just that the fabric in this quilt reminds me of Spring – lovely colours and fresh. I really liked the floral fabric and wanted to make a simple quilt to show it off.  I had trouble with a full quilt photo as the sun was bright and the wind was blowing, but […]




Lots Of Little Things.

It has been very busy here over the last couple of weeks but I have had a chance to do some sewing for some little ones. First off there are these two little doll quilt wraps. They are 24 by 24 inches and have a 13 by 13 inch pocket in the middle. That is […]




Views And Windows.

Big smiles here. Our computer is back after convalescing for 10 days. Happily, it is now working better than ever. I had just finished my Kitchen Windows quilt flimsy and was ready to post about it when the computer decided to stop. So here it is. Love these fabrics. The pattern is from Elizabeth Hartman’s […]
