Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

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 […]




Quilting Away.

I have spent quite a few days concentrating on quilting my mystery quilt.  Last night the binding went on and hopefully today I will be able to complete the hand sewing on that. Unfortunately it is extremely windy here today so no real chance of an outside photo of the whole quilt just yet.




Final Round.

I have been able to add the final round of blocks to my Califon quilt. It is definitely time to stop as it has reached 70 inches in size. I think when I started I was only planning a lap sized quilt, but then it took on a life of its own.  Unfortunately it will […]




Simple And Sweet.

Most of the quilts and embroideries I am working on at the moment are taking quite a while due to the size/ quantity/ difficulty involved.  I think I just needed a change of pace so I chose something quick and easy to make. On a recent visit to Spotlight I saw the owl and leaf […]
