Baby Quilt Started.

 Meggie being Meggie. This is the start of a baby quilt present for my niece who is expecting a girl.

Lighting in my room today is poor, but it is in tones of pink and neutrals. It will have white sashings, a pink and white border with ric rac. on the tops of the flags.

Lovely Fabric Donation Received.

Look at what arrived in the post this morning. Some lovely fabric from Linda in Victoria. This is for Aussie Hero stuff. Thank you Linda, Keep an eye out for your lovely fabrics in a quilt soon.

Aussie Hero Quilt Progress.

This is the next Aussie Hero quilt I have started today. The request was for Holden and Ford cars and blue. This is the donated cars fabric I have been given and last night I struggled with how to divide it evenly into block sizes to make the most of the fabric. This morning I realised all I had to do was fold it into 4ths one way and then the other way to get 16 same sized blocks. 15 will be in the quilt and 1 on the laundry bag. All the blocks are the same. All the blocks have been sewn. I will now put them onto the batting and backing and quilt them together then cut out to size. Sashings have been cut ready to go.

Laundry Bag.

Laundry bag to go with the quilt just made. The fabric matches the back of the quilt.

Cards And Cups.

 Today I went out Savers shopping in Greensborough. I am always looking for Aussie Hero stuff and so I bought these cards, 2 packets of 40 blank cards for $4 each and these photo paper packs for $3. The Thank you and heart cards are fine as they are and the babe cards will be altered.

 Crosswords with answers and word search and cards are ready to use.

I did not have a single cup and saucer in my house as we all drink from mugs. This is what I actually was on the hunt for. Cup and saucer and tea plate set. Bonus is that it is 1962, my birth year. $6 the set. This is for our 21st birthday high tea celebration at A.C.D.A. cloth doll club next week. I found this cutlery too. Silver plate. All are 1960s. $2 each piece. It is official, I can classify myself as being vintage!
