I am busy at the moment making another quilt for Aussie Heroes Quilts and Laundry bags. I have also made a wedding present for a lovely young couple, (they grow up so quick!) I will post that one after the wedding as I know they read my blog via facebook.
My mum is not well at the moment, this has slowed me down for a bit too. Get well soon mum, Love you heaps. xxx.

Tilli and Quilt in Progress.

 Tilli has found a new perch, One happy kitty!
 Today I made a laundry bag to go with the quilt I just made, ready now to post on Monday.
Today I started on the next Aussie Hero Quilt. The request for this one is, The colour of the Philippine flag and/or the flag if possible.
I have appliqued the sun and stars and I will hand stitch then on so that they will stay on. The flag will have a binding all around so that it stands out. A border of colour 2 inches on each side and 3 inches top and bottom will be added next all around the main quilt to make it the right size.

Sewing Room Makeover, Quilt and Meggie.

 Last night I started on giving my sewing room a make over. Moving the drawers from the window and putting the table in the middle of the room so that I can use all 4 sides.
 I wanted more light to come in the room. Yarn has been moved to where the drawers used to be along with the filing cabinet and the boxes that used to be under the table. I can now open the blinds if I want to.
 View from the door.
 My first real quilt from start to finish. This is the front.
 This is the back, Finnish flag incorporated as a request. .
 Close up of quilting.
Meggie sleeping on her part of the pram. Too cute!
