Charity Makes.

 This is the Aussie Hero quilt so far. I have been using up all my scraps for this one, Request is for blue and nautical. So far I have made 4 long strips that will be trimmed and then a border added all around and anchors appliqued onto the quilt.

This is the hat and scarf I made on Christmas day. The destination is the Guardian Pharmacy later on next year.

Charity Makes.

 At Crafty Hijinks I picked up 5 stocking fronts that had all the pieces fused on ready to sew.

 Tilli and Meggie today in the sewing room.

 I have finished doing all the appliques on the stocking front, added a back and lined them. The lining I made longer to look like the tops have been turned over. They will be filled with goodies and placed under the K.Mart Wishing Tree this year.

I have also been making knitted scarves. One ball of 8 ply yarn using 6mm knitting needles with this simple stitch. Cast on 25 stitches, slip 1, k2, p2 to end. All  rows are the same. This creates a stretchy broken rib that is thick, warm and looks the same on both sides. These will be for the Guardian Pharmacy makes.

Special Projects.

 This week when Renee too me out to Resource Rescue Craft Supplies we also went to Spotlight for some wool and fabric. Renee chose some feathers yarn for a hot water bottle cover, this is what I made. No pattern just used the hot water bottle as my guide.

 We also bought some cotton fabrics for the laundry. the curtains are in pretty floral pink and greens with a splash of orange.

 Some Chinese fabrics to cover the bookcase.

 The top has Velcro attached.

Finally some cushion covers in hot pink and orange square centers, for a bit of pop.
I enjoyed making these things and Renee was very happy too! It was a fantastic day that we both enjoyed very much.
