Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

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 […]




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 […]
