Mitered binding - no rulers!

Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

This time instead of joining them together in blocks of 3 and then joining the rows 4 times I am making them in blocks of 5 and then joining the 3 rows together. The outside rows are done, the middle row is left to do. The fabric used to join them all is a paisley print, a very hippy vibe. Meggie is helping.

Aussie Hero Quilt Started.

 This is the start of my next Aussie Hero quilt. The request is for Hippy, Dreamcatcher.

I made the templates using the middle of a cake stand and a free hand template.
I am going to have fun with this one, I am thinking peace sign and kombi van.

Aussie Hero Treats.

 These are the Tim Tams I usually buy to put in the Aussie Hero packages. Normally in Woolworths they are $4 something, and $4 on special. Today I bought them in The Reject Shop for $2.

This is $40 worth, The lovely lady gave me her staff discount when I told her who they were for and this gave me 3 extra packets. Thank you for your support.

Playing Card Pouches.

All the playing card pouches so far. Pretty cute!

Playing Cards.

 See the little hand made purse in the lower corner? Originally I had made them for Thank you gifts for the ladies at Spotlight, but at the last minute I thought of taking them to club and selling them to get some things for the gift packs for Aussie Heroes, Well I sold them all. The cards in the picture I have bought this morning will be split up and put into their gift packages, So thanks guys. You are all heroes in my book.

This is what I will be doing this afternoon, making fabric pouches to hold the cards in. I will be starting again with the purses for my Christmas gifts for the lovely ladies in Spotlight.

Trip To Savers Greesnsborough.

 Yesterday I had a lovely phone call from a friend, She was going to Savers in Greensborough, would I like to come? A day out was a very welcome break and I had not seen her in ages so Yes! I was very lucky indeed and found these bargains. This lovely rocking horse, it has a sound in it too. It neighs and a lovely clip clop sound too by touching the ears. It's mouth and tail moves as well. Perfect for a birthday on Saturday.

 This lovely huge roll of cotton fabric with gold accents.

 A pair of cotton horsey curtains, perfect for when a horse quilt request comes up.

 Lovely details.

Total spend on the day, $30. Great value. Thank you for a lovely day out.
