Sewing, Knitting And A Question.

 We are half way through January already! Aussie Hero quilt in progress.
My plan is to make a quilt a week and 5 laundry bags. One for the quilt and one general box of 4 laundry bags so they are ready to post when needed.

I am also knitting in the evenings. This is the project I am currently working on. A baby blanket for charity. I am not setting myself up for a set number of knitting projects, just getting as much done as I can. for the Guardian Pharmacy Angels program held in August. I plan on making hats, scarves gloves and blankets. I am also doing a couple of Block of the Month projects that will end up as quilts for the end of the year adapted to fit the Aussie Hero quilt specifications. and a project for my daughter that I will not be posting about, that will be blogged about at the end of the year.

I am also putting out a question. I am currently on the look out for some good quality cotton batting for the Aussie Hero quilts in bulk. I would love to hear from fellow bloggers/quilters for some tips. Usually I wait until I have the Spotlight vouchers and use them, but I am down to my last couple of quilt sizes left and need some in a hurry.

Special Laundry Bags.

 The fabric I was waiting for to finish the bags arrived yesterday and so today they are finished and posted.

 Bag 2.

 Both the backs are the same.

This is the lining. Note the special fabric given by a fellow Aussie Hero supporter. Just perfect.

Block Of The Month.

This is my first hand stitched block.4 tones of yellow, green with yellow background and my mirrored fabrics. I am looking forward to seeing the next block next month. At the end of the year I will give this finished quilt as an Aussie Hero quilt, Green and gold make it a gender neutral choice.

Aussie Hero Laundry Bags.

 Today I am working on 2 very special laundry bags. Breast Cancer bags. Both the fronts are similar but not the same.

 the backs of the bags are very similar. The patch is for their initials. This will be done later in pink.

I have on the way some very special fabric for the lining donated by a fellow Aussie Hero supporter. I am very excited.
