Embroidery And Hexagons.
It feels wonderful being able to get back into a stitching routine. I don’t think I realised how much I missed it, but then I was very busy so it makes sense. I am catching up on many projects started earlier in the year. I have enjoyed getting back to them. These are blocks from […]
Lots Of Animals.
The Aussie animal blocks have come together to make a quilt top. There are still no eyes but that will happen when the quilting is done. This is the Land Down Under pattern from the Red Boots Quilt Company. I was also able to stitch the banner together that was in my last post. All […]
Apple Harvest.
Most of my posts of late are embroideries and stitcheries. I am working on several quilts but none are near completion as yet. So this is a mixed post in that it is embroidery but is part of a quilt. This is the first block for a design from Fig N Berry named Round The […]
Stitching Along In April.
Stitching along slowly. Not a lot of big finishes, but several small ones. This is the second block for Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. I have also completed the February blocks for the Gail Pan BOM. I have nearly completed the March blocks so I am not too far behind. School holidays have started here […]
March Fires.
It has been a hot and hair raising start to March in our area. Lightning strikes started several fires in the state park only a few kilometers from where we live. This was the view from the car when I first spotted the smoke. By the time I had arrived home the view had changed […]
Summer Sewing.
When you live in or near Melbourne you do get used to the changeable weather. We have already had temps in the 40s this month and our aircon has worked overtime. This week we have returned to cooler days in the low 20s (70s). But today decided to play tricks with us and warmed up […]
An Animal Day.
All the photos of projects in this post have animals. Not planned that way and I didn’t realise until I was preparing the photos. First up are the Little Penguins from a McKenna Ryan block. I am back to working on these blocks. I think there are 3 more to go. I am being very […]
November Hearts.
This is the second last month for the year of Bunny Hill Snow Hearts. I have kept this one simple and have removed the words as Australia does not celebrate Thanksgiving. They still look lovely. I often find that I am working on several projects at one time and often have nothing in particular to […]
Hearts And Yarns For October.
It seems to take a little longer here, but Spring has arrived. This year it has been gradual with the days steadily warming up but a few cold ones still being thrown in. My trees like to announce the arrival of Spring and the warmer days. It is time for The October Bunny Hill Hearts […]
Making Progress.
Bits and pieces are coming together so it is good to see progress being made. The first bit of progress is with the blog itself. Several times I have tried to add a subscribe button on the side but because my site is a mix of blog and web page it just didn’t want to […]
