Looking For Sunshine.
After the weather we have been having, the idea of finding sunshine would seem an impossible task. We are getting around that by flying over the pond to spend a month with family and sharing their Summer. I have no idea about whether it will be easy to post, or reply to comments or to […]

Stitching Away.
No finishes, but some steady progress on a couple of projects. The ribbon trees are coming along quite well. After trialling a few fabrics I went back to basics and used a natural coloured linen for the background. The perle embroidery thread shows up well on this. I have finished the first one and now […]
A Snowman Quilt Top.
At the very end of last year I was extremely lucky to win some beautifully embroidered blocks. They are a collection of snowmen, reindeer and Christmas trees. The beautiful stitching was done by Pauline of Quilt n Queen. Pauline does the most amazing stitching. She generously had a give away last year of eight of […]
Just Stitching Along.
Totally unrelated to sewing – but I have been enjoying the fun home page on Google today. I can’t help but push the buttons and play with the monsters. They are muppets to mark Jim Henson’s 75th birthday! Now back to my regular sewing. It seems to have been a busy week but I have […]
An Even Dozen
I have managed to finish a set of twelve stitcheries from the Tis The Season booklet. I trimmed them down a little to tidy them up. I will tuck them away for a little while until I have time to turn them into a quilt. It’s good to see the photo posting correctly today. I […]
What’s Happening?
Not a lot, it seems! I feel like I am busy doing lots of things but don’t have a lot to show for it. Very strange! A lot of time has been spent on fiddly things like preparing quilt tops for quilting and loads of cutting out. I have been adding the final borders to […]
Stitching Day.
Last week I had the opportunity to join in a day with a stitching group at The Patchwork Tea House. We were truly spoilt with morning and afternoon tea and lunch. While it was cold and windy outside we were as warm as toast inside. We were able to select the project we wanted to […]
Adding Up The Numbers.
Our chilly weather makes this a perfect time to stay inside to sew. The last few days have been busy adding to collections. I have made 40 of these disappearing 9 patch blocks for the final border of my quilt made from Califon. These drunkard’s path blocks now total 47 – about a quarter of […]
Slow And Steady.
Some sewing jobs just take time and can’t be rushed. I have been slowly working on the quilting of the Butterfly quilt. Just straight line, in the ditch quilting, but still time consuming. I am almost there, possibly one or two nights and then it should be ready for the binding. There is light at […]
