WIP Weekly Update | #4
Procrastination. It gets the best of us most of the time. As for me, it’s pretty much all of the time. Drawing your attention to the comic above, I can define my past week of quilting procrastination as the following – The Cleaner | Sewing room must be tidy before any quilting can get done!…

WIP Weekly Update | #3
Okay. Confession time. I haven’t done as much as I had hoped for this past week on the Rail Fence Quilt. I did do a few more lines of quilting here and there over the days but not to the point where it’s worthy for a WIP photo opportunity… In the moments after I finished…

WIP Weekly Update | #1
So I thought to keep me honest and on track with my WIP* New Year Resolutions, I would try my very hardest to post every Monday updating my progress on getting these quilts finished. Whether this is a good or bad thing I haven’t worked out yet! Believe it or not, I have made some…

2014 Quilting New Year Resolutions
I’m not normally one of those resolution-kind-of-setting people making plans at the beginning of each New Year and then failing two weeks later… So when I made up my mind to set out some quilting resolutions for 2014, I made sure I would choose goals that I knew I would happily follow through on. (I…

Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas Crafts
Day 10 is here!! Holy-Moly, can you believe it’s only 3 more days until Christmas?! Oh my! Surprising, I’m pretty much ready for the big day. I have a few cooking chores to do over the next few days but apart from that, I say ‘bring on the big day!’ If you’re still stuck on…

The Happy Quilt
The day has finally arrived for me to show off my finished quilt! Better known as the Double Wrench Mini Block Quilt (phew what a mouth full!), I re-named this little treasure The Happy Quilt. I came about this name while I was quilting it. The thought struck: everything about this quilt just simply makes…

Quilting My Guts Out!
Eww…totally gross post title there! I do humbly apologise, but that was the only way I could explain what’s really happening at the moment… You see, I’ve set myself a deadline… This quilt must be finished by this Friday! I’m so over seeing it lying hopelessly unfinished in my sewing room – it deserves to…

Christmas Crafts & Itchy Fingers
Last Thursday eve I helped host a Christmas Craft Evening at my local Spotlight store. Together with staff and customers we had a very festive evening full of Christmas crafts, sweet treats and some lovely lady chats. Here’s what we made! The Christmas felt bunting along with the embroidered/sequinned homespun ornaments were the biggest hits…

Two Years Later…
Two years ago, on this very day, I found the guts to start writing a blog. I was nervous, unsure and a little bit scared at the thought of writing and publishing my own quilty work on the internet. But I was looking for a challenge, an expressive medium and a chance to reach out…

Spring Embroidering
It’s been a slow week on the sewing front, but I did manage to finally finish my Double Wrench Mini Block Quilt top! Yay! The final measurements are approx.: 118cm x 133cm (46½” x 52½”). I’m currently productively procrastinating (a big juxtaposition if I’ve ever heard one!) from completing a pieced back for the quilt…
