Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

A RED Letter Day.

Or should that be a RED quilt day. Today I am having some fun doing the Tuesday Guest post at Sew We Quilt @ Stash Manicure.  And I get to show you this finally finished quilt top. Madame Samm is running a wonderful Wantobe Quilter’s Campaign. If you want to be in the draw for […]




Colour Play.

Nothing happening. I am being indulgent. Just me having a colour fix!




Tube Stripping.

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 […]




Colourful Leafy Friday.

Robyn has sent us all off to hunt for leaves for this Colourful Friday.  Check Daisy Quilts to see what everyone has found. During Easter I found two rabbits hiding in amongst the pumpkin leaves. Recent Autumn leaves. Some quilty leaves from a quilt made a long time ago. Can’t go without finding a koala […]




174 And A Border.

I have finally finished making 174 drunkard’s path blocks!! I can now start to make the borders for my big red quilt. This is the first border put together so I took a photo to get a true idea of how it looks. Shouldn’t take me long to put the rest together.




And There’s More!

The pile is steadily growing. I now have 112 blocks for the drunkard’s path border. Only 64 to go!




Mystery Quilt Finish.

It is always lovely when the last stitch goes into the binding and a quilt is finished.  This is the mystery quilt I did in a workshop back in January. I managed to have a few moments outside with the camera when the wind eased off, just before the rain bucketed down. It has ended […]
