I will be joining all the blocks except the centre row, ready for when the block arrives.

Next Aussie Hero Quilt Started.

Hand painted and hand dyed fabrics.

Dyeing Fabrics.

The top netting is the original colour and the other two fabrics are dyed. I am very happy indeed as I will be using them in my daughters wall hanging.

Op Shopping. Christmas In July.

 As per usual, when I am out and about I look in op shops for bargains. This is what I found today, Epping Salvos. netting and a lightweight tape. Total spend, $14.00.

 This is what it is for, making produce bags to use instead of plastic when you shop. I will be making 3 of these to go into the prize pack of bags for the Christmas in July fundraiser.

 This is the large lined shopping bag the last of the prize pack. 7 bags in total. 3 mesh bags, 3 fold up bags and this large tote.

 I am making gift bags for the people at the fundraiser, (You have to have gifts at a Christmas party, and I don't do food!) Handles for the large tote and all the bits to make a mesh produce bag. Bag instructions written in the card.

Packages in this paper gift bag. I am making 30 of them. If I have time I will make some mesh bags for sale and all proceeds to go to the charity.

Laundry Bags.

Similar, different linings and different cords. 2 laundry bags for the 4th July visit to the Simpsons Army Barracks.

Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

One of the fun things about quilt as you go is that you can change the arrangement before you put it together. This is what I am going with. I am going to add yellow sashings.
