A Finished Race (Track).
I had started this quilt last year. My friend was making the same quilt so we worked together piecing the panels and then had another day pinning the layers together. Along came all the Christmas sewing and this one was put aside. It was good to be able to take it out and know that […]
Waiting For Borders.
I have finally made progress with this quilt. I have been using Leesa Chandler’s beautiful fabric – Under The Australian Sun – but did not have any for the setting triangles and borders. I had a couple of possible fabrics but just wasn’t convinced that they were the best I could do. Thankfully my LQS […]
Birds and Houses.
We have been going through one of those long computer sagas over the last 4 weeks where a variety of different things do and don’t want to work. In the end all the time and work was to no avail and it has gone in for extensive rehab. Hopefully by the end of the week […]
Mystery Quilt Day.
Earlier this week I attended a mystery quilt day. Lovely setting and very well organised. Great teacher. We had a cutting list prior to the day and arrived organised and ready to go. It was broken into 5 blocks. There were nine blocks in the centre. We started with the 4 Birds in the Air […]
Reindeer Mischief.
I think the reindeer in this wall hanging look like they are ready to get into a bit of mischief. They do bring a smile to my face when I see them. This is an older one of Santa and his friend.
Santa and Friend.
Another of my collection of wall hangings from Cubby House Designs. (Same as the Deer Oh Deer pattern – told you they just keep coming!) A lot of the pieces are fused to batting before being hand stitched. This raised the pieces to give a 3D effect. The little bit of embroidery was done in […]
Some Quilted Trees.
These are a couple of little wall hanging I have made to use for decoration each Christmas. I think the first one was made from a magazine pattern. It is embellished quite simply with novelty buttons. The next was an early effort with hand embroidery and machine stippling. It is always interesting to look back […]
Christmas Gift Sewing.
Just trying to make a few extra gifts for Christmas. This is the start of a table runner or two from a pattern by Disa Designs. Still a lot of work to be done. I have also tried to make a Bon Bon from a Hatched and Patched pattern. I think I still need to […]
There Can Never Be Too Many Santas!
It’s a month out from Christmas and I am struggling to make myself wait to put up decorations. I will have to make do with getting a few quilts out in preparation. This wall hanging was a Debbie Mumm panel. I did a small amount of piecing, but the main work was embellishing the blocks. […]
Angels, Festivals and Thanks.
I have been sorting through a few quilts and getting things ready for Christmas decorating. I love it when you rediscover something. This often happens with Christmas items because they are packed away for most of the year. Here is my quilt, Angels in the Garden. It is from Meme’s Quilts. I really enjoyed the […]
