Cats And Quilts.

Cat approved! Thanks Tilli! Now to cut the binding.

Putting It Altogether.

I have cut some of the blocks in half to give it more contrast. Now I am putting it together in rows.

Sewing, Friends And Shopping.

 Yesterday I had a lovely catch up with my friend and then in the afternoon we went to Savers in Greensborough. My friend bought me this lovely large leather purple bag and I bought the cotton drill fabric and the blank cards for my Aussie Hero stuff.

 Highlights have been added to the silhouette and stitched down with clear thread.

This is how I am quilting the blocks. The key fabric is the back and the fronts will be different blocks of blue.

When the blocks are put together they will be turned 1/4 to join like this. It gives a simple movement to the quilt.

Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

 Cat Quality Control. (Meggie).

First part of the applique is done. Next will be the highlighted details added on top.

Next Aussie Hero Quilt Request.

This is the next Aussie Hero request quilt and laundry bag I am making. The request is for fly fishing and blue. I hope you can see the outline I am using. This will be part applique and part fabric pens

Makes And Donations.

 Laundry bag to go with the quilt just made.

This is the lovely Poppy prints given to me by my daughter for Aussie Hero quilts. 1metre of each fabric, Fabulous! Thanks Steph!

Travels And Shopping.

 I have just come back from a visit to my daughter and the re opening of the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery BRAG featuring my Son In Laws mother, Rosemary Valadon. A wonderful experience indeed. A Great turn out.
If you would like to know more about her and her works this is a great read.

I had a wonderful couple of days catching up, and a little retail therapy too!

Purple boots! It just goes to show, the perfect thing turns up when you least expect it! We had an hour to kill whilst waiting for my daughter to pick us up from the train station in Lithgow NSW. I found these, the store is called Rockstar, 121 Main Street Lithgow 2790 (02) 6351 4001

These boots had only just come into the store the day before. Leather made in Portugal. It felt lovely to wear something new to go with my outfit for such an important occasion. They have a fleecy linng so they are so comfortable and warm.

I also I bought these tea towels from Dimmeys for Aussie Heroes laundry bags and quilts. Aussie Heroes is never far from my mind.
