Last Shopping At Savers Mill Park.

 It is very sad that Savers in Mill Park is closing, I went there today after posting my latest quilt as per usual only to find it half empty. Everything left is half price so if you want to go there you have until the 27th to do so. I did find this doona cover that I will turn into bias binding for a lot of quilts next year. I will be cutting it so that the red white and blue will be in stripes. This quilting book that is all about applique and 12 inch paper pieced blocks, just the perfect size for my quilts. and lastly the photo paper to turn into post cards for part of the Aussie Hero care packages.

This arrived in the post today, It was advertised on Facebook and I signed up for them. 5 free cards with envelopes that I will use for Aussie Heroes care packages. (I have used one card and envelope already today).

Laundry Bag.

This is the laundry bag to go with the quilt. She wanted something fun and Queensland, I think banana and pineapples say it for me, and also the fabric is blue her favourite colour. Posting it this afternoon.
My next quilt is going to be a new one for me, trying out paper piecing. The theme dragons! after that in January I will be making a whole load of laundry bags.

Aussie Hero Quilt Finished.

This is the front of the quilt. I will be making a laundry bag tomorrow and posting it in the afternoon.

Quilt Continued.

This is the quilt so far. The logos have been appliqued on and the name written with fabric markers. They will be trimmed and sewn together with no strips in between and the seams opened up and pressed flat. There are 5 rows of 3 blocks. The back will then be pinned on and quilted again and the binding put on. The binding will be in red.

ACDA Christmas Party And Quilting.

 This is the layout for the Aussie Hero quilt I am working on. The two empty spaces will have white fabric blocks with the Waratahs logo on them in a mirror fashion. The request is for mainly blue, Aussie Army fabric, flag and the Waratahs.

 At the cloth doll club yesterday I spent $20 on raffle tickets for the charity we are supporting this year, I won a prize! A $20 Spotlight voucher this is what I bought today. Two meters of each of these fabrics from Roxburgh Park, the new store that opened, I also used this voucher from the back of the magazine and a 20% off scratch card. So thank you ladies very much! All will be used for Aussie Hero quilts.

 The quilt I am working on is using scraps of all my blues made into large blocks sewn and quilted onto the batting. The backing will be in one piece and added after and then quilted again and this time the lines will be going diagonally on the quilt, in a X on each block.

 This is my preliminary reference diagram of the emblem for the white blocks.  The actual logo will be larger. I need to take the time to draw it out properly.

 At the Christmas party on Saturday we had a decoration swap and a pincushion swap. This was what I got, Simply divine!

 Such a clever idea.

This is the pin cushion I received, Just the best kind of cup cake.  Wishing all of the wonderful people at A.C.D.A. a safe and Merry Christmas, See you all in February.
