Aussie Hero Quilt Finished.

More Fabric.

 Yesterday we went out for a drive to a friends house, She thought of me for my charity work, De stashing her fabrics. This top picture is what is going to go into the quilt I am making.

 This is the fabric donation. Some lovely things here. It was a lovely time. Thanks friend!

 On the way home I dropped into the Rotary Op shop in Hurstbridge.and bought these fabrics

 This kit. Perfect for applique, all lovely plain colours and the patterned is all fruit and vegetables.

This is the next quilt I have started, Travel, planes and beach. Still working on the other quilt at the same time. The beautiful embroidery patches have arrived so I can now put it together and finish it.

Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

Quilt layout decided. The star plain blocks chosen because of the quote they both want on their quilts.
Let the mind fill your sails. Let the stars be your guide. And return home on the incoming tide. The middle block will have the embroidered block with the star fabric surrounding it.

Aussie Hero Quilt blocks so far. All lines have been stitched along then painted. More colours are to be added to the pile of books and the stained glass part of the cat block on the right. I am waiting on the embroidered panel for the centre block to arrive by post, the rest will be plain blocks, the colours have not been decided yet. Quilt as you go front with a whole back.

Next Aussie Hero Quilt Started.

The next two quilts I will be doing will have a link to each other as they are for a couple of friends. This quilt first is cats and books.
