Owls, Again.
Lots of owls in the garden, today. Daytime ones. I have a group of friends who get together just before Christmas and we all bring little gifts to swap. These hot pads are the start of my little collection of gifts to give. They come from a pattern named Hot Who and it’s from Susie […]
In The Middle.
I seem to be in the middle of so many projects at the moment. That’s fine as long as it all leads to finishes. I am about to have a basting weekend. I have several small quilts that need to be sandwiched ready for quilting, so my trestle table is out and ready for work. […]
Tags And Hour Glasses.
The hour glass blocks have been completed and put together. Simple borders have been added and the result is a completed quilt top. I had to battle with the grape vine for position on the fence. As well as using fabrics from the Sleepytime range, I added some solids in matching pastels. It needs […]
Starting a BOM.
I had seen several posts from people who were stitching Lynette Anderson’s mystery BOM, Fernhill. The first couple of blocks looked lovely so I decided to track it down and join in. Although 7 of the 9 blocks have already arrived, I am just finishing the first block which is the centre-piece. As usual, I […]
Paper And Pins.
I have hardly had a chance to play with paper these last few months, so it has been great to get a few cards made. I really do need to get some scrap-booking done as the photos for this year are piling up. And I also need to think about getting some ideas for Christmas […]
Favourite Colours – Red And White!
I have gone back to playing with my favourite combination of red and white. I received some gorgeous blocks stitched by the amazing Pauline – Quilt-n-Queen. Pauline does the most beautiful stitching. I wanted to use the blocks in a quilt and make sure they were the focal point and not have the piecing take […]
A Top Completed.
After many months of cutting and juggling blocks, it is lovely to see this quilt top completed with all borders attached. I have really struggled with photos over the last few days with the overcast and windy weather. Thankfully the frame stayed upright long enough to snap this pic. I still am fascinated with the […]
Block Work.
I really enjoy the way some blocks can be made in such a simple way to give quite a striking result. I wanted to make these ????? blocks and saw that they were made quite simply using jelly roll strips. They are normally cut using a 90 degree triangle template, but I didn’t have one […]
Keeping The Cold Away.
Yes, it’s Winter and I just have to get used to it. A lot of the trees around here have signs of Spring with their pretty blossom, but the wind, rain and low temps are keeping us well rugged up. This quilt top is definitely aimed at Summer. It is made with a selection of […]
Steaming Along.
I have been able to piece together all the blocks for my kaleidoscope quilt with all the sashing complete. (Unfortunately the colours in the photo vary due to weather conditions and the wind blowing the quilt.) I wanted to run a small border of green around the whole quilt in the same fabric I had […]
