A Colourful Finish.
My finishes have been few and far between lately. Same with posts. And now they will all probably arrive in a rush. That’s the way it often works. I have completed my colourful, woolly flower quilt. Blocks together and binding done. It has been a pleasure to work with the wool for this quilt. It […]
April Catch Up.
Time seems to be flying by with lots to do. Is it because we are all still catching up on things since our long lock downs? I know I am still putting in time with my sewing but progress is slow. I do have a few quilts sandwiched ready for quilting but they are a […]
Autumn Has Arrived.
Our tree out the front has been keeping a calendar and decided that on the first day of March it would start changing colours. It is still a very young Crimson or Scarlet Oak. This is what it looked like a week ago. It has become a much deeper red and this is the colour […]
Chickens And Pigs Finished.
Yippee! My Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs quilt has made it to the finish line. It has been a lovely quilt to work on and I am now looking forward to catching up with Anni Downs next design. Quilting done and binding finished. Lots of fun, quirky blocks in this quilt. They are all entertaining […]
A Lot Of Years In This One!
It seems like this quilt has been a long time in the making. I think I bought the pattern and quilt kit over 10 years ago. I didn’t get around to starting it until 7 years later. A long wait. Then when I started making it I was only pulling it out once a month […]
A Flimsy In A Flash.
Sewing here at the moment is still mostly taken up with finishing off different bits and pieces. But I did get distracted enough to make a quilt top. I found a little bundle which contained some yardage and two charm packs. It was a line of fabric from many years ago – maybe 10 or […]
Lights And Tunnels.
After working on many projects last year with hardly any finishes, I seem to be finding that they are all now coming to an end within weeks of each other. Hence the light at the end of the tunnel. Or a mad rush. I completed the last block for Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. Last […]
Nearly Missed November.
With everything that has been happening I nearly missed November. Talk about getting in by the skin of your teeth! It has been busy here for two reasons. Firstly, the lovely weather has arrived and a lot of time has been spent outside, mostly in the garden. Sun and rain means everything is growing fast. […]
Wool And More Wool.
Working with wool is a delight in Winter. It always feels cosy and warm. First up is another knitted finish. This is a cardigan for our granddaughter. This is made with a wool from Bendigo. I sent a photo through to her when it was finished and had a selection of buttons grouped by colour […]
Colourful Gum Nuts.
Although I am making several quilts in lock down, this probably represents the situation best of all. It shows how I had to make do with what was here. I started off with a collection of fat quarters of each of the fabrics. I found the gum nut fabric at a local craft show then […]
