A Red And Grey Finish.
Our house is very empty and quiet as the holiday has ended and family have returned home. There is lots to do but some sewing has been squeezed in as well. This quilt was away at the LAQ and I was able to pick it up a couple of weeks ago. I have spent a […]
Which Doctor?
In amongst the busyness of having family here, I have completed one quilt. There was a deadline so I had to push to make it but the last stitches went into the binding the night before it was due. This one was another birthday gift for a Dr Who fan. The Dr Who fabrics […]
Seeing Stars.
I am finally seeing some quilting finishes. This quilt is full of stars and is based on a pattern called Happy Birthday in the Memorable Scrap Quilts book. The name is appropriate because this is a gift for a birthday. This quilt was made using lots of bits and pieces from my stash. […]
Little Leftovers.
I had a few little bits of fabric left from the Holiday Frost quilt. Not enough for even a small quilt but too lovely to just toss in with the scraps. After a bit of playing I made a small wall hanging. It is now waiting to be sandwiched and quilted. The centre […]
Red Again.
It seems that once the red theme hits I have to work it out of my system. I recently received a fat quarter bundle of these lovely fabrics. They are Holiday Frost from Henry Glass. Gorgeous reds and greys in this bundle. I had a lovely experience with this purchase when […]
No Longer A UFO.
I am delighted to be able to report that another UFO has been completed. This is the quilt made with the double hourglass blocks using pastel colours. I think the fabric is Moda’s Sleepytime, which I had in a jellyroll. Added to that was a Bella white jellyroll as well as some yardage. I also […]

Pink And Blue.
I have spent a week concentrating on free motion quilting for my Dresden quilt. I am surprised at how long it has taken to do all the stitching. But thankfully the end is near as I only have the binding to do and a few loose threads to trim. I decided after all that work […]
Feeling Colourful.
I am making somewhat of an effort to work on a few UFOs. Just the bright and colourful ones. This first one is the 3D bow tie quilt. I had the blocks made a while back and have only now put them together. I have also started to quilt the Dresden that has been […]
Animal Stack.
I am back at home after 4 weeks in the US and enjoying the last blast of Summer sunshine. I know it won’t last for long but it’s a change from the snow we have been experiencing while away. We were home just in time for our grandson’s first birthday. How did that time go […]
