Cot quilts

 I have been busy for the last couple of days cutting out 6 inch squares and 2 inch strips for the K.Mart Wishing Tree baby quilts. I had been given some fabric last Saturday, some large pieces and some off cuts and made the most of all the bits.
 I then assemble them into blocks like this.
Final quilt top.
I plan on making quite a few of these.

Isolette Covers

How lovely is this lot! Isolette covers for Mercy Hospital in Heidelberg, made by a friend Gwen. These will be very well received.

Aussie Hero Quilt Fabric

 This is a washing line I like, Fabric!
 The ladies came through for me on Saturday with some fabric from their stash, With a promise of more to come next month, How lovely!
 They range in sizes from fat 1/4s to several metres.
This is the fabric washed, Ironed, trimmed as well as a whole heap of calico for the laundry bags.

Fancy Dress

How great do they look! They are two very lovely young ladies, I love them both to bits.

K.Mart Wishing Tree Gifts

 This is the start of many crib quilts I am making to go under the K Mart Wishing Tree this year. This quilt top was made using scraps I had been given that was not suitable for the Aussie Hero quilts. as well as fabric from my stash. I like to make in groups so I am making all the quilt tops first then finishing them off.
This is the start of baby sets both knitted and crochet. Like last year they will be a layette set, a toy and this year instead of a blanket it will be a quilt.  The wrapped bundle is 20 sets of dolls clothing cut out ready to sew. I plan on making dolls and bears too this year.
