A Little Mystery.
This little quilt top was completed recently in a mystery quilt workshop. It is a lap quilt or throw size. We received instructions to select 3 fabrics – light, dark and medium. We then had to do all the cutting before class. This made sure the top was easily completed in a day. Definitely a […]
Stripes and Stars.
Here are the stripes! This little zebra has recently found a new home with our grandson. He is made using a pattern called Savannah Chaps, by Barbara Prime, which also includes and elephant and a rhino. It was purchased through Ravellry. Very easy to make and good directions. I think there may have to be […]
2013 Is Well Under Way.
Time to get back on the horse. Or, to be real, time to get back to my blog. The weather has made sure that we are having a real mixed bag to start the year. Lots of very hot days as well as crazy cool ones for this time of year, too. Unfortunately many states […]
Christmas Wishes.
The last of the Christmas sewing has been completed. I had this group of stockings to complete for Christmas day. They now only need the name tags to be added. They are also made and I will stitch them on this evening. We are all looking forward to a lovely break over Christmas. Best […]
Owls, Again.
Lots of owls in the garden, today. Daytime ones. I have a group of friends who get together just before Christmas and we all bring little gifts to swap. These hot pads are the start of my little collection of gifts to give. They come from a pattern named Hot Who and it’s from Susie […]

As well as using fabrics from the Sleepytime range, I added some solids in matching pastels. It needs […]

Twisting Away.
I have managed a finish on my Twister quilt. It has a bright, summery feel about it and adds a bit of colour to the day. The fabrics in the quilt are a combination of Going Coastal and Tidbits and Treasures. Being such a busy quilt it really only needed outline quilting. I secured […]
