Cabins in the Forest.
This quilt has an interesting combination of just a few blocks. It has a house block that is split with a log cabin and it has a tree block also split with a log cabin. It then has flying geese in the border. The house blocks are supposed to be placed in the centre and […]
Making Progress.
I have had some time at the sewing machine over the last weeks and have made good progress on two quilts. The dotty quilt top is together and has had a thin white border added. I am going to add an orange border as well to frame it, then will have to decide how to […]
Post and Rail.
Sometimes there are fabrics you just want to play with and end up using a simple pattern to show them off. I liked the colours and chose a basic post and rail pattern. It ended up being a small lap sized quilt. The quilting was an overall butterfly pattern. Here’s a better look at the […]
Red, White and Blue.
I like a lot of red, white and blue so it is not surprising to see many of my quilts using these colours. The only difference in this quilt is that I have used cream instead of white. It is made using several charm packs from an old Moda range named Coming Home. I have […]
Red Biscuit.
In the days before I had discovered stitcheries, I saw a quilt made up in a shop. It was a pattern from Leanne Beasley of Leanne’s House. It was made with red and biscuit coloured fabrics and had stitcheries inside the squares. At the time I didn’t appreciate the stitcheries and only wanted to make […]
Square in a Square
This quilt was made in a workshop at Quilters Barn when it was still located at Arawata. The shop has since moved to Loch, but I understand that it is now returning to its original site. The quilt was constructed as a square in a square and also as quilt as you go. This backing […]
Baby Quilts.
When each of our grandchildren was born I made quilts for them. The first quilt was based around Australian animal prints so they could identify our native animals. Basic layout of squares and then quilted with a pattern that has some similarities to boomerangs. Unfortunately not the best photo, but the only one I have. […]
Can of Worms
This quilt was made using a technique from Debbie Caffrey’s book, Open a Can of Worms. I was able to again use lots of fabric scraps that I already had. Only a few purchases were made to complete the quilt.It has been quilted with an overall autumn leaf pattern.
Winter Weather
Yesterday was cold, wet and windy. Just a perfect day for staying inside and sewing. I decided to share my time between two projects. The first is a snowball quilt I have been making with a variety of pink fabrics. I did straight stitch quilting between the rows to secure the quilt. I am planning […]
Blue Christmas
A bit of a different colour for a traditional Christmas quilt. I bought the fabric from the Fat Quarter Shop back when they made up Jolly Packs! Each square has a basic border of either the light or dark blue crackle. Squares were then placed in a diamond pattern radiating out from the centre. Many […]
