Lovely Kits.
At the last craft show in March I purchased several Marg Low kits. This Winter weather has given me the perfect excuse to make a start on them. This one that I have completed is Festive Trinkets. Before. And after. I haven’t added the hanging cord yet as I am debating maybe sewing a small […]
Trying Something New.
I have not yet made a kaleidoscope quilt, so decided it was time to have a try at this technique. I have decided to start with a very simple introduction and then move on to the more involved version. This particular technique simply uses 4 identical squares. The squares are arranged so that each has […]
Making Progress.
We have the most beautiful day here, today. Clear skies, sunshine, mid 20s and a gentle breeze. Perfect. As a result it is hard to stay inside to sew, but I have been catching up on a few projects. The embroidered blanket is nearly there – hooray! Just a few more leaves needed and then […]
More Bits.
We are enjoying a lovely long Labour Day weekend here and the weather is treating us very kindly. Beautiful sunshine and warm days. I have managed a little sewing and have finished the Southern Jewels quilt top. It’s a very simple pattern but is designed well to showcase Leesa Chandler‘s gorgeous fabrics. I made the […]
Steady Progress.
March seems to have arrived in a hurry making it hard to think that two months of the year have snuck by already. I have been working on several quilt tops over the last week – some new, some old. This first one is an older one. I had started the work on all the […]
Cutting And Stitching.
I have once again been very fortunate to attend some workshops with Deborah Louie as the tutor. The first day saw us working with raw edge applique and different machining techniques. We also made drunkard’s path blocks and explored techniques for making circles. This is my sample from the morning for the raw edge applique. […]
Tangling.
Summer is lovely with all the warm days and the many outdoor activities. The only downside is that not a lot of sewing is being done. I suppose there is always Winter to catch up. I was able to attend a one day class today for quilting with Zentangles. We spent the morning drawing on […]
Four Seasons.
Anyone who lives in or near Melbourne knows exactly what I am talking about! We have the ability to have all four seasons easily within a day. And today is it! I look out the windows on one side of the house and it is beautiful blue sky and sunshine. Try the other side of […]
Planning Ahead Or Catching Up?
Once Christmas had come and gone I realised that most of the Christmas sewing I had done was for gifts. And all the Christmas projects I had wanted to make for our home were put aside. So, instead of leaving them until the end of this year, and probably putting them aside again, I thought […]
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 […]
