Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

A Very Woolly Post.

Lots of photos today and all are wool related. I have completed the central panel of my wool applique piece. I am now completing the pieced stars that make up the border. The photos show the whole piece and then in smaller sections. The pattern is by Wendy Williams and is called Flocks By Night. […]




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 […]




Knitting And 90.

I had to get my skates on as I wanted to finish this jumper and hat for our 3yo grand daughter to be able to wear during this Winter. I had started it well before our holiday, but had to get myself back into the knitting routine after our return. Thankfully it was done and […]




Trees, Bits And Bobs …..And Castle Views.

There was a hiccup or two here and I had a few days where I could not leave comments on your blogs. All fixed now so I am having a session of posting, commenting and replying all in one day. Another Christmas UFO. This is a string of Santa sitting in felt mittens and stockings. […]




Knitting For Winter.

Perfect Winter weather for knitting! I do enjoy making smaller knitted items as they come together so quickly. This is made with a yarn from New Zealand (Crucci) – 8 ply and pure wool. It is so soft and is machine washable. The pink and cream works well together. I am making steady progress on […]




Planning For Christmas.

I take a long time to get some embroideries completed. Especially when they are put aside when other projects take priority. So on that basis I am always pleased when I can achieve a finish. This is a Trish Burr design and was in Inspirations magazine, Issue 92. It is mostly stitched with DMC threads, […]




Easter Ears.

Easter has arrived bringing with it a long weekend and delightful Autumn weather. I have made only one little addition to my Easter items for decorating – a crochet rabbit.. He can catch up with a few of his chocolate friends in the next few days. I am hoping to have at least a couple […]




Off The Radar

Summer has started here with a bang – as in storms and rain. Our state had severe weather warnings out and there was a lot of rain in some areas as well as flooding. No flooding here but a lot of rain and the garden is happy. I know the weeds are growing fast. I […]




Little Finishes.

It is good to be getting back on track with  some quilting. I have had this panel sandwiched for a while and thought it would be good to do to get back into the swing of FMQ. I have only added an inner and outer border to make it slightly larger. It will be good […]
