I’m on a mission to make a dent in my WIP list before the end of the year. I’ve dug out a few long term WIPs and I’ve put them to the top of pile. As a reward to myself, I’ve also made a start on something new… An Anna Maria Horner feather quilt has been on […]
I’ve made a lot of envelopes this year! This is most of them, but not all of them! It’s been a lot of fun taking part in the Sealed With A Kiss (S.W.A.K.) swap but I have to say I’m really thrilled to have finished the last envelope! Mel organised us all back in January and we’ve been sewing up […]
I have so many WIPs on the go at the moment, I’m determined to finish a few of them. My Pillow Fight Swap pillow has been sitting nearly finished for the last couple of weeks. Last night I knuckled down and finished the quilting, I think I’d been procrastinating because I wasn’t sure about how […]
There’re now only hours left to enter Amy’s Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Yes, I’ve left my second entry to the closing hours! It’s been a busy week in my household, with Ballet rehearsals followed by two Productions and today is my daughter’s 8th birthday. Luckily I’m out of bed before everyone else so I have a little time to write this post! My […]
I’m really excited to be entering Amy’s Blogger’s Quilt Festival for the first time! If you’re visiting for the first time, welcome to my blog! I’ve been around on Flickr and IG for a while and two months ago I started blogging. My name is Rachel, I live in New Zealand and I’m mad about quilting. My Quilter’s Palette […]
Pillows are, almost definitely, my most favourite thing to make. Last year I took part in my first holiday pillow swap, and I loved it. But I really needed more than one Christmas pillow, so it was an easy decision to sign up for the holiday/winter pillow swap on Flickr again this year. I pulled these fabrics for my partner with a […]
My Swedish Bloom quilt has been on hold for the last few weeks. Partly because it’s the school holidays but mainly because I had to do some unpicking and I get quilter’s block when it comes to unpicking. I did my usual lazy technique for sewing the rows together, but this time it didn’t work out! […]
It’s school holidays here so there’s not a lot of sewing going on but I did make a drawstring bag just for me today. The Joel Dewberry fabric is one I purchased on a whim while on holiday earlier this year, I love the colours and the large design makes it perfect for a bag. I used […]
I finished this quilt a few months back and I’ve been waiting for a chance to photograph it. Today I packed it in my car, along with my camera and went on my first ever quilt photoshoot, outside of my own backyard!. My friend lives in a beautiful villa just outside of the city, with a […]
My topup fabric order arrived in record time, less than 6 days from the US to NZ. I have no idea how it got here so fast! The timing was perfect as I was down to my last scrap of the Wee Wander print. I added a few extra prints to my order, Far Far Away for backing, […]
