The Halfway Mark For 2021.
Surprising to think that we are already half way through 2021. Maybe I have been busier than I thought. Although not sure my stitching shows that. We are having some lovely sunny Winter days. Still very cold but great to see the sun shining. After having little opportunity to sew for a month or more, […]
Welcome To Winter.
Brrrr…. . Winter has arrived here. Cold, wet and windy. Good time to stay inside where it is warm and dry. I have been working on my blocks for the Wendy Williams quilt, Over the Hill. Two more blocks have been added. These two blocks are part of the centre row. There are lots of […]
April Catch Up.
Time seems to be flying by with lots to do. Is it because we are all still catching up on things since our long lock downs? I know I am still putting in time with my sewing but progress is slow. I do have a few quilts sandwiched ready for quilting but they are a […]
Autumn Has Arrived.
Our tree out the front has been keeping a calendar and decided that on the first day of March it would start changing colours. It is still a very young Crimson or Scarlet Oak. This is what it looked like a week ago. It has become a much deeper red and this is the colour […]
A Flimsy In A Flash.
Sewing here at the moment is still mostly taken up with finishing off different bits and pieces. But I did get distracted enough to make a quilt top. I found a little bundle which contained some yardage and two charm packs. It was a line of fabric from many years ago – maybe 10 or […]
Lights And Tunnels.
After working on many projects last year with hardly any finishes, I seem to be finding that they are all now coming to an end within weeks of each other. Hence the light at the end of the tunnel. Or a mad rush. I completed the last block for Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. Last […]
Nearly There.
Two more blocks finished for the Dancing Chickens. Flying Pigs top. Only one more to go so I am nearly there. They are such fun blocks. I will be sorry to get to the end but I do have the Christmas one waiting for me from Hatched and Patched, so won’t be concerned for too […]
Sunny New Year.
A New year. Time to start a fresh year of blogging. Lots of sunny days already. And these beauties opened to start the New Year as well. Some stitching has been happening. This is the second panel of Over The Hill (Wendy Williams). I have really enjoyed selecting fabrics for this quilt – the deck […]
An October Post.
I realised October was getting away from me and if I didn’t post now I would miss it completely. I have been working away on lots of bits and pieces, but only one was a finish. I am steadily getting the blocks done for the Sue Spargo quilt, Homegrown. Lots more to go but a […]
Wool And More Wool.
Working with wool is a delight in Winter. It always feels cosy and warm. First up is another knitted finish. This is a cardigan for our granddaughter. This is made with a wool from Bendigo. I sent a photo through to her when it was finished and had a selection of buttons grouped by colour […]
