Unfortunately I don't know how to add more links, I just had to over write a link I had previously. PNG quilts.
As for the latest sewing, Still practicing my quilting blocks at the moment, it is taking longer than I thought to get them right! Looking forward to actually turning them into projects. Have a lovely day.

Free Patterns.

I was just browsing the net when I came across these lovely quilt blocks for charity.

Parcel Arrived.

 Look at what arrived today, this Australian post box size 405mm x 300mm x255mm post box crammed with the most delicious polar fleece fabrics and 2 Christmas cotton panels.
It cost her a fortune to post as you can imagine.

All from a wonderful bloggy friend who is just as passionate as I am about charity. I can see some wonderful toys being made with this lot and the panels will be made into draw string bags for the Angels for the Forgotten charity.
Thank you so much Maria, You are an angel. Watch this space!

A Fantastic Cause.

Awesome Charity.

Cards Wanted.

Hi, Remember this bargain I bought back in April? These cards I bought at a market for 15c each and I have almost run out. Each of the laundry bags I make get a card each. I don't need envelopes. Anyone out there know where I can get blank /plain masculine cards in bulk?

Dresses.

 I have been busy the last few days since I last posted making more dresses. This last lot make the total to 28 dresses, I have another 3 cut out ready to sew.
Yesterday I spent the whole day making metres and metres of bias binding.

Once the dresses have been made they are all put into this wooden box that I picked up from the Reject shop for $10, (normally it would have been $50, but the hinges were broken. I had a couple at home, (one good thing about hording stuff!) and it is all fixed. The dresses will be picked up in the middle of the year to go to the Philippines.

Christmas Party Charity Donations.

I have finished 15 retractable tape measure/pin holders and 10 scissor keepers that I will donate towards the Christmas Party Charity this year. I will have one of the other ladies price them up for me. Not long until Saturday!

Isolette Covers.

Today I have been taking it easy, preparing the fabrics to sew for the Isolette covers tomorrow. On the hats side of it I am making one a day.
