Aussie Hero Quilt Finished.

This is the front and back of the quilt I finished yesterday. The blocks were made and sent to me to make into a quilt, the orange and blue binding and backing from my stash. The backing was from Savers, enough fabric for 2 quilts.

Cats And Quilts.

 Tilli.

 First the fabric, donated and sent to me for Aussie Heroes.

 So cute!

 I think you get the theme.

 Now it has been made into a quilt top using fabric from my stash.

Ready to be turned into a quilt today.

Table Top Finished.

 Table top is finished and in the sewing room.

It has enough room to go round 3 sides, Just right! It has a dark blue pleather (plastic fake leather) topping. Easy to clean.  To put the top on it I pulled and held it taught using bulldog clips and then on the underside used carpet tacks.

This is the table top before the covering.

Cake And Table Top.

 This is the beautiful birthday cake my niece made for me, Yummy, delightful and she even coloured the cream on the inside filling purple! (my favourite colour).

The table top works! Now this morning I will be covering the board with something and seal the edges. Looking forward to using it for real.

It is My Birthday! Quilting And Making.

 This is what I have been doing for the past 2 days. Quilt tops made so far.

 These are blocks sent to me to be put into a quilt top along with my orange and blue fabrics added.

 This is my table in the middle of my sewing room. I am making today a removeable top piece the size needed for a quilt for Aussie Heroes. The blue tape is the table centered.

Yesterday at Bunnings I had 4 pieces of 12 mm plywood cut to size. they were on special at $5 per  piece instead of $20 each. For them to cut the wood to size cost only $1. The surface top will be covered with lino. and the edges will be covered with tape. The whole thing will be 80cms by 48cms. It will be much more comforable to do the quilts on.
