Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Stitching Along In April.

Stitching along slowly. Not a lot of big finishes, but several small ones. This is the second block for Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. I have also completed the February blocks for the Gail Pan BOM. I have nearly completed the March blocks so I am not too far behind. School holidays have started here […]




Making Progress.

Bits and pieces are coming together so it is good to see progress being made. The first bit of progress is with the blog itself. Several times I have tried to add a subscribe button on the side but because my site is a mix of blog and web page it just didn’t want to […]




Stitching Progress.

I am making a lot of stitching progress on a variety of projects this week. The next wool project I have taken on is another Wendy Williams design called Flocks By Night. I have started on the centre panel and am using wool. I will make the surrounding stars later. I have attached all the […]




Off The Radar

Summer has started here with a bang – as in storms and rain. Our state had severe weather warnings out and there was a lot of rain in some areas as well as flooding. No flooding here but a lot of rain and the garden is happy. I know the weeds are growing fast. I […]




Little Red Cushions.

I think I have been working away on these little stitcheries over quite a few years. They are the ones I tended to pick up and take with me when I needed a portable project. These are the Christmas tree design. I have completed the set of 12 stitcheries from a pattern by Lynette Anderson […]




Stitching The Time Away.

Not a lot of big projects on the go but I have been catching up on a few stitcheries. These are part of a set of 12. I think I am up to the half way mark. I suppose it is appropriate to have snowmen at the moment as we are only a few days […]




Three Trees.

Another bundle of tiny cushions has been completed and this time they come in threes. The design itself, from Marg Low, has three trees. And then I made three cushions and played with each of the designs. The first one was done with hand embroidery. The second was with fabric stitched on by machine. And […]




Too Early For Easter?

It is probably not too early to be planning for Easter, although, like many, I am always surprised at seeing hot cross buns in the supermarkets the day after Christmas. I have finished a little Easter mini from Anni Downs. The stitching was done last year but I had not added the borders and done […]




Animals Everywhere.

I am still not sure about what is working with my blog and what is not, but here I go regardless. Today’s theme appears to be animals – purely by accident. First up, Michelle’s lovely patterns have been turned into a cushion. It was going to be a banner but I liked this better. I […]




Busy Chrissy The 2nd.

Apologies to those who have received this post already. I am re-posting it to see if I can sort out some glitches from Tuesday. Cheers, Karen. I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. […]
