A Snowman Quilt Top.
At the very end of last year I was extremely lucky to win some beautifully embroidered blocks. They are a collection of snowmen, reindeer and Christmas trees. The beautiful stitching was done by Pauline of Quilt n Queen. Pauline does the most amazing stitching. She generously had a give away last year of eight of […]
Califon Is Complete.
Several positives to report. My machine is back, working and happy. And so am I. And as a result I was able to sew the binding on my Califon quilt and hand stitch it down overnight. My LAQ was incredibly fast and had it back to me in a couple of weeks. I chose a […]
Borders Times Two.
My machine has decided to play funny games and as a result is waiting at my LQS for some maintenance. This means I am now using a very old and basic machine until mine returns. I can straight stitch and zig zag, but no FMQ or even stitch in the ditch. Oh dear! I have […]
Thinking Of Quilts.
It’s really hard making decisions about which projects will come next. There are so many new patterns I want to do but I also have a lot of older patterns that I love too. They are quilts I have made many years ago but now want to make again in newer fabrics. Sometimes it is […]
Garden Maze.
This has been a very interesting quilt to make. None of it was hard as it was all straight sewing with squares and rectangles. What I did find interesting was that the pattern of interlinking squares didn’t become apparent until right at the end when the rows were sewn together. So even though I knew […]
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 […]
