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 […]
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 […]
