Shopping.

How cool is this doona cover I bought from Savers? Perfect for my Aussie Heroes. This single cover will be the backings for 2 quilts.

Aussie Hero Quilt Finished.

 This is a very scrappy quilt for a female with no preferences. Made up of random blocks and left over strips from previous projects.
This is the back with one of the block strips turned around to give it more colour. The blue and white fabric are the handkerchiefs.

My New Baby!

 Do you have a secret wish list? I do! Well I did, There was only one item on that list. this was it, a treadle was my dream and it has come true! Look at this wonderful machine, I have always coveted one of these.
My best friend has made this not so secret dream come true, I am looking forward to restoring it to use. How lucky am I!
What a beautiful thing she is.

Savers Shopping.

I cannot help myself, I have gone to Savers again, and for $3 look what I found! All these delightful cloth badges, from places in Australia.
I am thinking of putting them into signature blocks on a quilt. A good idea do you think?

Quilt Blocks.

 I bought this book from Savers, complete with templates using 4 shapes makes 27 blocks all are 12 inches finished size. They will be going into my quilt as you go blocks.
 Tilli this morning, they are already hot cats.
Meggie is asleep on my sewing chair, too cute to move so I was sewing standing up for this block, but I will be sitting down on the spare chair for the next one!
