Pelican Progress.
Okay. I am getting my head around Stage 4 lock down here in Greater Melbourne. There is a lot to keep track of but for us I suppose it is still stay home, don’t visit anyone and wear a mask if you have to go out. This time round we have a big stoppage of […]
A Winter Finish.
The first day of June saw temperatures drop here so we really knew that Winter had arrived. Coats, hats, gloves and scarves all came out. So, on that basis it was timely that I had finished my crochet blanket. This is a pattern from Attic 24 called Sweet Pea. It is a very simple design […]
Small Steps.
Work is continuing on UFOs but in small steps. The kangaroos are stitched down and ready for their day at the beach. There are lots of embellishments to go on this block, but not until after quilting. Should have ironed it, too. I was also able to complete another block and add the hexies for […]
Fox And Bee.
Time to get back to old projects that were set aside at the start of this lock down. I had finished the embroidery on these two blocks but had not put together the hexie circles for them. I finally caught up with that task and have completed two more blocks. Bees. Foxes. These are a […]
Moving Along.
I am keeping busy with all sorts of projects. And am also keeping to the plan of alternating something old and something new. The old first. I am working on the last block of my McKenna Ryan quilt. The beach boxes are down with most of the stitching done. But I also needed to prepare […]
Seeing Spots.
When I had completed my clam shell wall hanging, I had quite a few left over circles. I decided to applique them to a variety of black and white background fabrics and turn them into a mini quilt. A little bit of quilting was done and then a spotted binding was added. It measures about […]
A March Mixture.
There are a lot of bits and pieces that still need finishing, so I will try to keep on top of those UFOs in March. Knowing that Easter is around the corner, I managed to find a frame for this little rabbit. I think it is a Bonnie Sullivan design (All Through The Night) I […]
Happy 2020.
Time to get back into sewing and blogging for 2020. Decorations are packed away for another year. And I have scared the daylights out of myself by collecting together all the projects needing a finish. I have returned to working on Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. I looked back at my posts and realised I […]
Little Bits.
It is always good to see progress on projects. This quilt is from Jen Kingwell of Amitie and is named Meadow. This is the centre panel. I now have to make the border which consists of 24 applique blocks. Lots of tracing and cutting before any stitching begins. A friend was working with some small […]
Getting Close!
My McKenna Ryan quilt top is getting close to a finish. The first 7 blocks are sewn together. Not all the applique can be completed until the borders are on but is is good to see it the blocks together. There are two more blocks to add. This is the eighth one. So I am […]
