The Next Finish.
I am steadily working through my quilt sandwiches. Good to have another finish. I was happy just to quilt with a simple meander. Because I used this quilt as a bit of a trial run for strip tubing I decided to try out a few things I don’t normally do. I have always hand stitched […]
Triangles Done.
I have finished the straight line quilting and the binding on my half square triangle quilt. I really like the simplicity of the design when using half square triangles with white. The fabric is Moda Winter Song. I have used a Moda Bake Shop pattern found here. I did add a border to the original […]
Completely Pinned Out!
I am completely pinned out in so many ways. When I am ready to sandwich a quilt I set up a trestle table so I can lay out the quilts. I use a table because I am not too keen about crawling around the floor. I work on the idea that if I have taken […]
Making Leaves.
I am currently working on a quilt designed by Leesa Chandler of Chandler’s Cottage. Leesa designed the gorgeous fabric, Under The Australian Sun. The main blocks have gum leaves. The leaves are made in two parts from a selection of green and brown fabrics. Strips of each colour are sewn together then a right and […]
A RED Letter Day.

I had watched this interesting tutorial from Missouri Quilt Co. about strip tubing and could not resist the temptation to try it. I had a Flag Day Farm jelly roll at hand and had no other plans for it, so decided to give it a try. I treated this as my test run. I also […]
Enjoying The Net.
One of the things I thoroughly enjoy about the Internet, and blogs specifically, is that so many people are prepared to share their wonderful ideas. This week I have have enjoyed making several items using tutorials from blogs. The first one is the S’Mitten Quilt from Erin Russek on her blog One Piece at a […]
A Difference In A Day.
I am so pleased I had a bright sunny photo yesterday, because today is the exact opposite. Cold, cloudy and drizzly with rain. The good thing for us is that we are gradually filling those reservoirs again, and boy, do we need it after so many years of drought. It has been a very good […]
What’s Happening?
Not a lot, it seems! I feel like I am busy doing lots of things but don’t have a lot to show for it. Very strange! A lot of time has been spent on fiddly things like preparing quilt tops for quilting and loads of cutting out. I have been adding the final borders to […]
