Charity Update.

 This is the fabric I have posted off to Aussie Hero Quilts. 8 Kilos of fabric from Savers and Spotlight. I wanted to make some quilt blocks but I have not been well, and not enough time but I know that it will be used. A great organisation and very worthwhile charity. All the info on the right hand side of my blog.

 I just wrapped them in heavy plastic bags and duct tape and it was perfectly fine to post that way, saves me from looking for a box the right size since it has nothing that can get damaged.

On Tuesday I had a phone call request for this so I have this week sewn and stuffed 50 Trauma dolls ready to be handed over this Saturday.

 School couch appliques, I did not realise that the library had 2 couches, so I am making appliques for the other couch. Black and white is the theme for this one and images simplifies and inspired by the book Cat and Fish by Joan Grant and Illustrated by Neil Curtis. They are large, this one is 60cms by 40cms.

 Both of the couches have the same furry fabric seats as the Story Telling Chair, I forgot to take a picture of them covered. this is 50cms by30cms

They will be sewn and vliesofix onto the chair in the same way as the mr men and little miss. The difference with this is that they will have a black border on them will look like picture frames and two more added so that there will be 3 pictures on the back and one on each side of the couch. and this is the 48cm by 35cms.

Kids Craft Group

My kids craft group has a new name, It is called Crafternoons. One of Renees kids in the classroom told her she does crafts with her Nanna and this is what they call it and it has been voted by the girls and adopted. I will get them to design a brooch and we will make them.

Tuesday's Treasures.

This is my Tuesday's Treasures. Play along with Melody Daly on her blog. http://thehouseonthesideofthehill.blogspot.com.au/ it is so much fun.

Christmas In July.

This is the kit I have made for our Christmas In July meeting at A.C.D.A minus the stuffing. A pin cushion to put around your sewing machine. This has velcro that you can adjust before you sew the white strap. I will leave the velcro off for them to sew because not all machines have the same measurements. I chose red fabric for the Christmas theme. I have today made 40 kits. All they have to do is stuff the cushion and stitch that on and sew on the velcro to the strap.

This is the finished item on my machine. cute?

It is well accepted that although it is Bring A Plate, I do not cook so I decorate. Look at this Great Fabric Find! Greensborough Savers, with my discount voucher it only cost me $6. Enough fabric to cover all the tables, that is half of my decorating done. I have 6 green and red baskets that I will buy some mini bread rolls and place them on the tables too. I am a very happy girl.

Mr Men and Little Miss Appliques

The large appliques are finished, ready to be Ironed onto the school couch in the library. On the sides will be the yellows, then on the back will be the orange, then the blue then the red. All that will be left to do is re cover the seating cushions using the same fur fabric I used on the Library Story telling chair and it will all be tied in together.
