Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Happy January 2022.

Posted on | January 18, 2022 | 11 Comments

January is such a great time to be outdoors, but it does mean I forget to blog. Our weather has been mild so far with only a few really hot days, so the garden often calls. But, I have been caught up at times watching the cricket, and now the Australia Open, so some stitching has been happening.

Not a lot of work was needed so I was able to finish this one – a little Wendy Williams Travel Threads.

These are such sweet designs. I always enjoy making them.

I have also been crocheting some mandalas with 8 ply cotton. They are designed to be single items but I want to see if I can work out a simple way to join them.

They end up about the size of a bread and butter plate and I am planning to make 25 to get a good size. I have done 16 so far so am getting a good idea of how it will look. They are named Winter Mandala.

I have also been working on my trees for The Avenue. I am almost ready to add the trunks. Then I can look at how they will go together.

I hope you have had a good start to 2022.

Cheers, Karen

    Your sheep are so cute Karen. Your madelas and blocks look great.

  • The little sheep duo is so cute. I love your crochet. It is going to be beautiful! Your Avenue of trees looks very interesting too. We are showery and muggy here still!

    You are such a talented lady Karen- embroidery, crocheting, and patchwork! The felt sheep are very cute, the mandalas a beautiful shape, a little different from the usual crochet shapes one sees. And The Avenue quilt has long been on my ‘to-do’ list! I think its time I committed to it!

    Love the bright colours in the avenue blocks, you have quite a collection of batiks! And yes, very sweet sheep!

    looks like you have still managed some lovely crafting. gorgeous trees and those mandalas are amazing. Love the grey shades for the outer rows, really makes the colours pop. Can’t wait to see them together.

  • Love those sheep in the wildflowers!!! Well, the crochet project and the Avenue are really fun, too! A lot of great color going on!!!
