It's My Birthday!

 It is my birthday today and I have been thoroughly spoilt! My neice made me a really lovely quilt and purple cake and some purple wash cloths, Perfect!  Rotary cutter blades from my husband.

 Also from my husband a huge roll of batting.

 A lovely basket of fruit and veggies from my best friend and a bottle of Jim Beam from my husband.

The only Aussie Hero stuff I have done today is the start of the map request for my Aussie Hero request. drawn, stitched and painted, It is wet and hanging up to dry. This will be heat set and then sandwiched and the stitch lines on the countries re stitched to give definition and then labelled. A big hug to all of you on facebook for the lovely birthday wishes, I love you all.

Next Aussie Hero Quilt Started.

This is the start of my next Aussie Hero request quilt.
The top fabric bar codes, is quilted to be used as filler blocks for the main quilt pieces. It will be cut to size after the main pieces are made. The request is for Middle East, UAE Flag, Aussie Flag, camels, map and communications.

Cat Quilt And Raffle Prize.

 This is what I am doing in between Aussie Hero stuff. Putting together a very scrappy cat quilts using polar fleece on one side and all the left over strings on the other. When I have enough I will assemble them and donate them to our local animal rescue centre.

This is the other part of the raffle prize for our Christmas In July meeting. I have tested it and it is a perfect size to hold a 1 kilo bag of stuffing. My question is, should I put a bag of stuffing in it as well? or will it be too much? along with the sewing machine mat, sewing machine non slip foot pedal mat and the sewing machine cover and matching needle book.
