Not Blue, But Many Colours.
Time to make a break from the blue quilts. This is one that had been started a while back, then was put aside. But I was able to get back to it and have a LAQ do the quilting for me. It gives the impression of being a Christmas quilt, although I didn’t plan it […]
Even More Blue And White.
I have used up nearly all the leftovers from the last few blue quilts and am now reaching into my stash. Not that it is making a dent, but it is good to use it. I wasn’t expecting to have this quilt ready so soon, as my LAQ was busy with show preparations, but she […]
Some Leap Day Quilts.
I had to write the date a couple of times today and it felt a bit different. Only another 4 years before I can do it again. And Happy Birthday to all those Leap Year babies!!! I have strayed from my blue quilts to make a collection of donation quilts – baby size. I realised […]
Looks Like I Have The Blues, Again.
More blue fabric. More blue quilts. This is one where the top was finished last year, then my machine stopped working. It was added to the pile waiting for a turn to be quilted. I am nearly caught up! This was another exercise in using fabric from my stash. I had enough to make the […]
More Blue And White.
There have been plenty of these Plus quilts around, but until now I didn’t have fabrics I wanted to use in one. Then I had a visit to Cutting Cloth and came home with a bundle. I combined it with the left overs from the previous blue quilt I had made with another bundle from […]
A Quiet Week.
A quiet week here on the sewing front, but extra busy with grandchildren staying over for several days. I have been working on these blocks. Lots of pieces. I had to cut nearly 600 blues and 600 whites. That’s not bad for me as I am not always that patient. I admire those of you […]
Happy New January.
A new month, a New Year! Time to get into all the sewing projects. I have a small quilt finish. It is about 45 inches, square. This quilt was a very simple design at Cutting Cloth in Melbourne. I bought a selection of fabrics from them and came home to play. I had forgotten how […]
Merry Christmas.
This was not made as a Christmas quilt, but the colours do give it that sort of feel. I had several pieces from the Under The Australian Sun range left over and wanted to use them in a simple quilt that focused on the reds and golds. A post and rail seemed the way to […]
Merry December.
It has been a hectic time, but I am determined to do at least one December post! Lots of shopping has happened, including these gorgeous biscuit tins. Love the way the bauble has been incorporated into the tin. And, yes, it spins! The colour and the design on the tin could have easily fitted into […]
Happiness
I am a very happy Vegemite. I have one of my machines back!!! Yay! As soon as the call came I was off. I put mine and the loan machine together. I really have appreciated having the spare one from a friend, But you can see why I was happy to have mine back. There […]
