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 […]
Playing Catch-Up.
It is great to see another quilt from the pile finished. I am embarrassed to admit that this one has been sandwiched and pinned for at least two years. I know that having the pins in that long is not good for the quilt. At least I don’t feel guilty anymore now that it is […]
Just Keep Going.
We are in lock down still. Apparently we hit 200 days of cumulative lock down since the start of the pandemic last year. So it really is a case of just keep going. So I did. I finished putting together a quilt top that I had started last year. I had done two of the […]
Moving Along To August.
It has been cold, wet and miserable here – but it is Winter! But out of the blue we have had two lovely, sunny days. Not warm, but appreciated. And I think it turns back to Winter normal tomorrow. So obviously lots of inside time. Sewing has been done but with the Olympics in the […]
A Finish For Round The Garden Path.
Finally after many months, maybe years, I have finished the embroideries and quilting for Round The Garden Path, a design by Fig,N,Berry. Once the embroideries were complete and the blocks put together, I had a good play with the quilting. Each of the eight outer blocks were quilted in a similar way. I was able […]
Happy Squares.
Very happy to see another finish. This is not a very big quilt but it is enough to have on your lap for a bit of extra warmth. The size was dictated by the amount of fabric I had – the Japanese indigo prints. I kept going until I had very few scraps left over. […]
Colourful Pinwheels.
Another top has turned into a a completed quilt. The last stitch has gone into the binding and it is ready. The quilt is made of pinwheel blocks, each block using two fabrics. The fabrics came as a charm pack with the addition of a single piece to use in the border. There was even […]
