Favourite Colours – Red And White!
I have gone back to playing with my favourite combination of red and white. I received some gorgeous blocks stitched by the amazing Pauline – Quilt-n-Queen. Pauline does the most beautiful stitching. I wanted to use the blocks in a quilt and make sure they were the focal point and not have the piecing take […]
A Top Completed.
After many months of cutting and juggling blocks, it is lovely to see this quilt top completed with all borders attached. I have really struggled with photos over the last few days with the overcast and windy weather. Thankfully the frame stayed upright long enough to snap this pic. I still am fascinated with the […]
Block Work.
I really enjoy the way some blocks can be made in such a simple way to give quite a striking result. I wanted to make these ????? blocks and saw that they were made quite simply using jelly roll strips. They are normally cut using a 90 degree triangle template, but I didn’t have one […]
Keeping The Cold Away.
Yes, it’s Winter and I just have to get used to it. A lot of the trees around here have signs of Spring with their pretty blossom, but the wind, rain and low temps are keeping us well rugged up. This quilt top is definitely aimed at Summer. It is made with a selection of […]
Steaming Along.
I have been able to piece together all the blocks for my kaleidoscope quilt with all the sashing complete. (Unfortunately the colours in the photo vary due to weather conditions and the wind blowing the quilt.) I wanted to run a small border of green around the whole quilt in the same fabric I had […]
Lovely Kits.
At the last craft show in March I purchased several Marg Low kits. This Winter weather has given me the perfect excuse to make a start on them. This one that I have completed is Festive Trinkets. Before. And after. I haven’t added the hanging cord yet as I am debating maybe sewing a small […]
Every Finish Is Good!
This was an easy quilt to finish. All the piecing was done and it had already been sandwiched together several months ago. All that needed doing was the quilting and binding. Too easy! And a simple backing of Christmas decorations. I am slipping in a few more photos from our trip. This amazing building is […]
A Few Little Birds.
I have enjoyed completing this little wall hanging from a pattern by Vivian Robinson (Viv’s Creations). It is only 12 by 38 inches, so is an easy project to complete. It is called Birds On The Ladder. It uses raw edge machine applique and a little bit of hand embroidery. It is a great way […]
Looking For Sunshine.
After the weather we have been having, the idea of finding sunshine would seem an impossible task. We are getting around that by flying over the pond to spend a month with family and sharing their Summer. I have no idea about whether it will be easy to post, or reply to comments or to […]
Two Finishes.
Just a quick visit to show two finishes before they head off to their new homes. This is the little quilt that has been made for some friends who are about to become great grandparents. The baby is due next week, so I have finished just in time. And the other finish is the blanket […]
