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 […]

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!
