Gum Leaves.
A quilt finish! This is part of my effort to keep using stash. I had accumulated a lot of Lesa Chandler’s fabric – Under The Australian Sun. I really like it so was determined not to waste it. I saw the many variations of the hidden wells pattern and decided to try it out . […]
Pink Elephants.
I am steadily working through a backlog of projects. The litlle elephants quilt was the first to make it to the finishing line. I had a few small pieces of the elephant fabric to use in the quilt. Each block was framed with either pink or grey before going into the quilt. Unfortunately the photo […]
A Bit More Red.
Over a month between posts!! It has been a very busy time with family finally able to travel here safely. We kept busy and on the go for the whole time. We had a few days off and then readied ourselves for another overseas visitor for three weeks. Thankfully this time is a little less […]
Zebras And Pandas.
My run of finishes is coming to an end with this quilt. I had started working on the blocks back in April, then had to wait to get a few plain fabric matches. Once done, it was off to the quilter. The sunlight was shining on the back of the quilt so the colour looks […]
Colourful Trees.
These trees are quite different to the ones I have been watching outside as the leaves change to Autumn colours. In fact they remind me more of lollipops or raindrops. This pattern is called The Avenue and is by Louise Papas. I bought mine through Amitie in Torquay. I bought the set of templates available […]
Trellis Work.
Time to catch up again. As always, lots in the works, but not a lot of finishes. But there are several projects ready for completion in the next few days. That seems to be the way it works for me. Everything all at once. This is a quilt called Trellis by Jillily Studio. I started […]
Pandas And Zebras.
The blocks using the Tula Pink panda fabric grew very quickly. I liked how they looked together, but they were not going to get very far on their own. Too small. I was able to find some of the zebra fabric as well, to make alternate blocks. I also managed to find a solid to […]
Lots Of New Starts.
Time to work out what to make next, so I have been trying out a few patterns to see if they are what I want. So, lots of new starts. I started with a test block using the Tula Pink pandas. It was a bit fiddly finding the right size to cut the centre block […]
Yay! I Have A Finish!
I feel like I have been spending a lot of time preparing projects and I know this is worthwhile, but it is always good to get a finish as well. This was an easy finish in the end. I did leave it a little while after the quilt was sandwiched, but once I started, it […]
A Spring Quilt.
Spring is a busy time, especially in the garden. This quilt has a definite garden theme to it. The breeze make it a little tricky taking the photo but I managed in the end. The fabric is a design by Leanne Beasley called Spring Mischief. It is a simple design using square in square blocks […]
