Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

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 […]




A Little Mystery.

Each year I manage to attend a workshop for a mystery quilt. This one was held on a day that was 41c but thankfully the workshop was held in air conditioned comfort. This is the end result. It is a small lap quilt – about 40 X 40 inches. I tend to make them small […]




Hot And Easily Distracted.

I have cut out the kitchen window quilt I mentioned in the last post. But with the forecast for our weather, ( 44c or 111F), I decided to cut out several other quilts so I had plenty to do inside with the aircon flowing. That’s where the distraction came in. I was fascinated by the […]




A Star Finish.

The mystery quilt from last year is finally done.  Good to have another UFO off the list. I have found it a little difficult to get the true colours of this quilt in my photos. Neither outside nor inside photos gave the richness of the colours. Never mind – the quilt still looks fine. Here […]




Red Ribbon Santa.

Yes, I have continued to play with ribbons. Lots of red ones this time. I am sure you can guess that these turned into a Santa. It just adds to the Christmas spirit. And this is one of the cards I made in a class recently. Loved the colours in this one.   I hope […]




Playing With Ribbons.

A few weeks back I was playing with this lovely bundle of ribbons. After a little cutting and stitching, they turned into this little wall hanging. Just in time for Christmas.
