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. […]
Christmas Plans For November.
The horses are off and racing but I am happy to watch the big race on TV – Melbourne Cup. It is overcast and cool so I hope all the race goers stay warm and dry. I have decided it is time to catch up with a few Christmas plans and make some decorations. When […]
Tricky Colours.
Sometimes the camera and the colours just do not want to work together. So the colours in these pictures look very washed out. Time to use your imagination. This quilt is from a pattern by Lisa Cantley of Fig’N’Berry Creations and is called The Snowmen are Gathering. I have shown the individual stitcheries in previous […]
Spring, Whales And WIP.
We seem to have jumped rapidly from Winter to Summer here with temps in the 30s. But there are quite a few signs to let us know it really is still Spring. Our ornamental pears are in full blossom and the bees are loving it. Even when driving around the countryside there is colour everywhere […]
A Good Weekend.
We have a long weekend courtesy of the Queen, so Monday is a holiday. I have spent my long weekend rediscovering more projects that had been put aside. Nearly two years ago I had started the Fernhill BOM from Lynette Anderson. I made good progress with the stitcheries, but then stumbled when the mini quilt […]
Christmas Red Work.
I have been steadily working my way through the little set of ornaments designed by Lynette Anderson, called Sweet Christmas. I have half of them done and wanted to see how they looked with their buttons. (The buttons are not stitched on yet. I will do that when I sew the fabrics to the embroideries.) […]
Marvellous March.
I can’t believe how quickly the leaves are starting to change colour now that March is well under way. Even when we are still having warm days – tomorrow is forecast to be over 30c. And that Easter Bunny is just around the corner, too. I had started this Easter stitchery last year, but, as […]
Little Steps.
It still seems to be very busy here, but progress on some projects is being made in little steps I have finished the little stitcheries from a FigNBerry pattern. They will have to wait for a little while to be made into a quilt, but I have enjoyed having a portable project to work on. […]
Christmas Letters.
Steady progress is being made on the blocks for a Christmas quilt. It is from a pattern by Viv Robinson. These are my blocks so far – not all the hand stitching is complete on them. All the applique is raw edge machine stitching. And a lot of the decorative lines are also machine stitched. […]
