Christmas Quilt Show.

SewCalGal is kindly hosting a Christmas Quilt Show. This is a wonderful opportunity to see lots of Christmas quilts. Use the link above to check out all the entries in the show. I love all things Christmas so am really looking forward to seeing all the quilts. My quilt is from a design by Keryn […]




A Star Mistake!

A while back I mentioned that I needed to make quite a few more red and white stars for an internal border on a quilt. I started working on a few last week and managed to make some progress with ten more.  After I had pressed them I went to put them with the other […]




Snowmen Progress.

I had time to put a couple of little borders around my favourite snowmen. Then I quilted the borders with loops and stars. Tonight I will sew on the binding.




Redwork and Stars.

In this quilt I have been able to combine some embroidery and some piecing. It started with the stitcheries. I had bought Wendy Briggs book Simply Red and was planning to stitch some of her designs.  Before I had even started stitching I found this lovely Robyn Pandolph fabric in cream, red and green.  I […]




Melbourne Cup Day.

It is Melbourne Cup Day today and, YES, we do have a holiday for a horse race here! It would be appropriate to find something to do with horses and quilting. I do not  have anything with horses on it. This is the closest I can get. Will it do as a substitute?




Blogger’s Quilt Festival for Amy’s Creative Side.

Amy, at Amy’s Creative Side,  is hosting her fourth Blogger’s Quilt Festival. I have enjoyed looking at hundreds of quilts that have been entered in the past festivals and have been inspired by all those wonderful people. This time I have the opportunity to participate too, so am jumping in feet first. Here is my […]




Blue Kaffe Fassett.

I have working on this quilt off and on for a few weeks now. The piecing was straight forward – a four patch, patterned white between blocks and single patch corner stones. I love the colours. Blue and white always looks fresh. For the centre part of the quilt I did straight line cross hatching. […]




A Quilt From A Class.

This quilt was made in a class with Jennifer Knol. A few friends attended the class together at Candleberry Country.  Natalie (Candleberry Country) put together a kit for each of us so we could have a wide range of fabrics. All the blocks are made from half square triangles then the blocks are arranged to […]




Just Binding.

Nearly there. Just finishing the binding!




Eye ( I ) Spy.

I Spy quilts are lots of fun.  I like the idea of collecting lots of fun fabrics to use in them. Quite often they are fabrics that you cannot find a use for elsewhere but still want to collect. And sometimes they are left from other quilts you have made. I decided to make mine […]
