Aussie Hero Quilt.

 I have made my own appliques with fabric markers and vliesofix

This is the layout. A quilt as you go project.

Captain Cook Buttons.

I am so happy, I have found the buttons I need on ebay for my Captain Cook doll.  Today I have made his seat stand. It is getting there,

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.

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.
