Shopping And Donations.


 Yesterday I went to our cloth doll club (ACDA) and one of the fabulous ladies there  (Eva) gave me this lovely bag of cotton batting. I have put a pen on the top for scale. Thank you so much Eva, Many many quilts for Aussie Heroes will come from this.
Spotlight shopping. Making the most of the $40 Spotlight voucher. The patterned fabric was $2 a metre, I am thinking of quilt backings and laundry bag linings for this, and female pillowcases. The plain cotton fabric was also on special and for the footy/rugby quilts I bought 2 metres of each. Amount saved was $95.

Pillow Case

Today I have made a pillow case for the first time. French seams so no raw edges, using this tutorial.

I have a game I play, every time I do something or go somewhere for the first time even travel down a street for the first time I make a wish. It is not only a fun idea, but it makes for a great memory keeper. Pinch Punch first day of the month is another game I play.
I will be adding pillowcases with all the quilts from now on.
