Trying Something New.
I have not yet made a kaleidoscope quilt, so decided it was time to have a try at this technique. I have decided to start with a very simple introduction and then move on to the more involved version. This particular technique simply uses 4 identical squares. The squares are arranged so that each has […]
Making Progress.
We have the most beautiful day here, today. Clear skies, sunshine, mid 20s and a gentle breeze. Perfect. As a result it is hard to stay inside to sew, but I have been catching up on a few projects. The embroidered blanket is nearly there – hooray! Just a few more leaves needed and then […]
Big Smiles.
There has been great excitement here this week as our beautiful grandson arrived healthy and well last Saturday night. We have loved spending time with him having lots of cuddles and seeing how thrilled his parents are with his arrival. The quilt was completed and labelled, ready for his arrival. I kept the quilting simple […]
More Bits.
We are enjoying a lovely long Labour Day weekend here and the weather is treating us very kindly. Beautiful sunshine and warm days. I have managed a little sewing and have finished the Southern Jewels quilt top. It’s a very simple pattern but is designed well to showcase Leesa Chandler‘s gorgeous fabrics. I made the […]
Steady Progress.
March seems to have arrived in a hurry making it hard to think that two months of the year have snuck by already. I have been working on several quilt tops over the last week – some new, some old. This first one is an older one. I had started the work on all the […]
Eggs And Santa.
Summer. The perfect time to be working on a Christmas quilt? I suppose it means it will be ready for Christmas. This is a small quilt I had sandwiched and pinned a while back. It has waited for a few months before I had time to do the quilting. I only had a small amount […]
Owls Finally Finished.
This week has seen me busy with a lot of preparation work. I seem to be tracing patterns, transferring designs and cutting. I sometimes feel I have been busy with not a lot to show for it, but we all know that it is worth doing to the preparation right to have a good end […]
Garden Maze Completed.
I had my Garden Maze top quilted by my lovely LAQ just prior to Christmas, but of course with all the excitement of the season it had to wait a little while to be completed. With all the good tennis in the evenings lately I have been hand stitching the binding and enjoying the matches. […]
Tangling.
Summer is lovely with all the warm days and the many outdoor activities. The only downside is that not a lot of sewing is being done. I suppose there is always Winter to catch up. I was able to attend a one day class today for quilting with Zentangles. We spent the morning drawing on […]
Blue And White Triangles.
The blue and white HST quilt is quilted and bound. Simple and basic but perfect for this fabric. Straight line quilting was all that was needed. The binding was the same blue that was used in the small highlight around the centre. This flowering gum is just starting to blossom. The bees are loving it. […]
