This is going to be a scrappy quilt. All will have the same square in it.

Pink Project. The Magrath Foundation.

This is what I have been doing today, Preparing fabrics and batting for the McGrath Foundation, The Pink Project. I have drawn the fronts and cut out the backs for 12, I plan on making two a month and then posting them off in batches. Taking a bit of a break right now, then back to do the next 12. All set for next years weekend projects. I have a box for them to be in marked PINK PROJECT. The down side of getting it all ready to go? The marker is pretty strong smelling.

Super Hero Cape.

 Today I made a cape for my son.

 New Superman costume.

He is happy with it so that is good.

Trio Of Memory Bears.

 This is what I have been making. I started them on Sunday and finished and delivered them today. Less than a week because I have not slept.

 Made for my client, her sister and mother with clothing of the beloved.
The pattern I used was https://www.funkyfriendsfactory.com/featured-soft-toy-sewing-patterns/memory-bear-keepsake-toy-sewing-pattern
I highly recommend it.

I hope that it will one day give them comfort.

Ready To Bind.

I have been away from my sewing machine for a few days, a couple of reasons, needed to let my finger get better after the miss-hap (lack of concentration and I sewed through it). and my daughter and Son in Law came to visit, they were down this way for a wedding. They are travelling back home now so back to the routine. Just need to add the binding this afternoon and then it will be ready to post tomorrow.
I have already picked my next quilt to do so more on that later.

Getting There.

Almost there, Just the corner blocks to do. I will be pulling in the yellows and oranges in the sashings and binding.

Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

Taking a half hour break, Lack of concentration lead to needle going through my finger,  Major ouchy! Lucky it was a straight up and down on flesh and not bone.

Change Of Mind.

This is the re start of my Aussie Hero quilt request. Although I love the idea and implementation of the painted quilt blocks, I realised that for a child I need to make it simpler. Armed with my $10 Spotlight voucher I bought some mermaid fabric and some Fish fabric. The keys and the blue/green fabric is the back, represents dad, and the mermaid and fish for the front for the daughter.
