V.I.P. Visitors.

 Remember this quilt I made? Lauren the recipient loved it and I have been conversing with her mother Maureen on Facebook quite regularly. I had a wonderful visit from Lauren, her mother and her grandmother today, We were so engaged in talking about Aussie Heroes and laundry bags and other charities that I forgot to take a picture with them.

 They came bearing gifts. This fabric was bought from someone they know, (I will just give you her initials) L.R.R. when she was downsizing.

 She gave them to them at a very good price when they told her where they will be going to and how they were going to be used.

I was supposed to pay for half of it, but in the excitement of the afternoon I forgot to give them the money and they have donated it all to me for Aussie Hero stuff. The money they should have gotten from me will be used for Aussie Hero stuff on their behalf. Thank you for coming to see me, It was an absolute honor to meet you all, Thanks for the lovely hugs too.

Back Of Quilt.

This is how the back of the quilt will look. The fabric in the centre will be the sashings. I will quilt all the blocks first. Add the appliques and then cut to size and sew together. The binding will be in red as that is on both sides of the quilt.

Next Aussie Hero Quilt

This next Aussie Hero request quilt is Loves coffee, has no hobbies but loves working on the planes. With little to go on, not knowing the type of planes, I found this small amount of plane fabric. I then went in search of coffee related pictures on the internet and came up with these. These will be turned into appliques using the plane fabric and sashings.

Kitties And Cards.

This morning I have been making cards for Aussie Heroes. I have photo shopped out my address. The font I have used is one that I made myself using my own handwriting. A Great idea, this is the link, Money well spent.
