A Lovely Surprise Gift.

 Earlier this week I received in the post a surprise, a really lovely gift of orphan squares and half made left over blocks from the lovely Jodie. She is a brilliant toy designer who has recently branched out into fabric design too. Check out her blog.

 The orphan blocks I think go nicely as two distinct groups. Adding my own stash to the projects I am thinking of group 1 as a baby quilt and group 2 as an adult lap quilt.

These half made blocks will be for a baby quilt. As soon as they are made I will show them and let you know what charity they will be going to. Thanks again Jodie,

Sydney Roosters is the next red white and blue Aussie Hero quilt I am making. All fussy cut out and vliesofix and ironed onto white fabric ready to stitch. The small details will be done using fabric markers.

Cats, Quilt And Shopping.

 Tilli and Meggie sleeping in the sewing room this morning.

 I took a lot of things to Savers. Clothing my nephew did not want any longer, I bought this set of wire baskets for $4. Before I had a pile of fabric that went in it's place. Now I can get to what I want without having to take the whole thing out. Very happy indeed.

Aussie Hero Western Bulldog quilt finished.

Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

Quilt blocks on both quilts have been cut, quilted and tomorrow I will be adding the appliques to the white squares. They will be then cut to size and joined together.
