Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

A New Start For The New Year.

I do still have a few UFOs to finish, but it is always  great to start something new at the beginning of the year. In keeping with my love of bright colours I have chosen these fabrics. And I planning to use them in this pattern. This is Kitchen Window from Elizabeth Hartman’s book, The […]




Good Progress.

I am delighted to say that I am making good progress with my projects as well as good progress with myself. Thank you for the well wishes – they have definitely worked. This week I am feeling like my old self and and am ready to get back to doing all that I enjoy. I […]




A Not So Nice Surprise.

After a wonderful month of family activities I had planned to return to my sewing and catch up on a lot of quilting. As you can see there are a lot of flimsies waiting in line to be sandwiched and quilted. Unfortunately these plans went astray due to the unpleasant surprise I mentioned. I ended […]




Little Leftovers.

I had a few little bits of fabric left from the Holiday Frost quilt.  Not enough for even a small quilt but too lovely to just toss in with the scraps. After a bit of playing I made a small wall hanging.  It is now waiting to be sandwiched and quilted.     The centre […]




Red Again.

It seems that once the red theme hits I have to work it out of my system. I recently received a fat quarter bundle of these lovely fabrics.     They are Holiday Frost from Henry Glass. Gorgeous reds and greys in this bundle.     I had a lovely experience with this purchase when […]




Pink And Blue.

I have spent a week concentrating on free motion quilting for my Dresden quilt. I am surprised at how long it has taken to do all the stitching.  But thankfully the end is near as I only have the binding to do and a few loose threads to trim. I decided after all that work […]




Feeling Colourful.

I am making somewhat of an effort to work on a few UFOs. Just the bright and colourful ones. This first one is the 3D bow tie quilt. I had the blocks made a while back and have only now put them together.   I have also started to quilt the Dresden that has been […]




A Little Mystery.

This little quilt top was completed recently in a mystery quilt workshop. It is a lap quilt or throw size. We received instructions to select 3 fabrics – light, dark and medium.  We then had to do all the cutting before class. This made sure the top was easily completed in a day. Definitely a […]




Goodbye, January.

January has flown by quickly which probably means it has been a very busy month. Hard to believe tomorrow is a new month. I have continued to enjoy my Fernhill BOM from Lynette Anderson. Block 3 is done and I am working on number 4. It is an enjoyable stitchery and I have set no […]




Stripes and Stars.

Here are the stripes! This little zebra has recently found a new home with our grandson. He is made using a pattern called Savannah Chaps, by Barbara Prime,  which also includes and elephant and a rhino.  It was purchased through Ravellry. Very easy to make and good directions. I think there may have to be […]
