Aussie Hero Stuff.

This morning has been all about the little details for the Aussie Hero stuff. I realised I was down to my last card so I have been busy cutting and folding the cards re writing labels and things and filling up my Aussie Hero folder. I have cut and pasted all the crossword and word search puzzles to the front of the cards (with answers on the back). put in my details and a little blurb about myself and my thanks to the recipient inside each card. Made my own Aussie Hero quilt labels. So they are now all ready for each recipient.

Fabric Help.

I am posting this on my blog in the hope that someone knows where to find this fabric.
This is on behalf of a good friend Melody for a friend of hers at NOYQ
 Here's what she says

What I am hoping to find is a retailer who has a cream background fabric with Cherry blossom randomly on it but not covering the fabric entirely. 

She included two images to explain what she wants
