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 […]

I have only just realised that the 2012 Christmas Quilt Show has started. This year it is being organised by Michele at Quilting Tutorials. Hop on over to have a look at the lovely Christmas inspiration. I have chosen one of my favourites as my entry for this year. It is titled Reindeer Mischief and […]
Tags And Hour Glasses.
The hour glass blocks have been completed and put together. Simple borders have been added and the result is a completed quilt top. I had to battle with the grape vine for position on the fence. As well as using fabrics from the Sleepytime range, I added some solids in matching pastels. It needs […]
A Busy Week.
November has arrived with a rush. Lots of busy things to do when the weather warms up here. We are starting to have a taste of the Summer to come. Some time has been set aside for sewing in amongst all the other goings on. Block 2 of Lynette Anderson’s Fernhill has been completed. Here […]

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 […]
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 […]
