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 […]

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 […]
