Aussie Hero Laundry Bag.

This laundry bag goes with the quilt I just made.

Captain Cook Doll Continued.

 Today I met the original Captain Cook (known to the kids as Cookie) and his chair all the way from NSW.  Mal Nicolson gave me some details on how important the doll is to the school.

 He is very happy with how my interpretation of the doll is progressing. Always a good sign. My Captain Cook sitting in the chair, a good fit.

The kids will be given a link to see how the doll is made and the references I have used in making him. I have been given $50 for postage and if it costs more they will happily make it up in the form of a Spotlight voucher but I am pretty sure it will be fine.

Aussie Hero Quilt Finished.

This is an Aussie Hero quilt. The request was for cricket.

Remember the animal blocks I made and sent off a few weeks ago? Well here is the finished animal quilt, the recipient loves it!

Captain Cook Doll Continued.

 Still far from finished, but it is getting there.I worked on making the tricorn hat more needs to be done on that and the shoes have been started and decorating the coat. Made the cuffs but not attached and need decorating but it is getting there.

 Close up of the tricorn hat so far. Black wool

View from the back of the coat so far. Each of the panels have a decoration of gold at the top of the points these need to be added next. but the next thing that needs to be done is a quilt for Aussie Heroes so I will be putting him aside for now.

Captain Cook Continued.

 Working on the coat at the moment.

Getting there, I will be working on this doll for the weekend then making a quilt for Aussie Heroes then getting back to the doll.

Gifts, Doll, Shopping And Meggie.

 Today I went out op shopping for Aussie Hero stuff and stuff to finish the doll. This lovely bag of fabric was waiting for me at the front door. Thank you Libby, the fabric is wonderful.

 Meggie enjoyed the bag that the fabric came in! Don't worry, she was only in it for a moment while the fabric was being photographed!

 This is what I bought in Greensborough today, Blank photo paper to make my Aussie Hero postcards with, 2 pairs of shoes for the buckles, this gold braid to make the shoulder tassels with, (I cannot think of the proper name for it at the moment). a bag of gold buttons. and ribbon to go as the trim on the outside of the dress coat.

Working on the vest at the moment, but you can see the buttons are the right size for the doll.
