This Week's Wrap.

Today Deborah picked up 25 quilts and crocheted blankets for the Alfred Hospital's Palliative Care Units and it was lovely to hear how much they are appreciated by their clients.  Deborah also handed over $70 which was donated by 2 anonymous donors and it will be used to buy more batting. 

This week I only finished 3 of these donated quilt tops as well as knitting a toddler's jumper.

 I'm hoping to be more productive in the coming week.

A Slower Week.

I was tidying up and found another set of string pieced blocks so decided to put them together and get another quilt finished. 

I also finished another quilt top donated by Mary-anne Goss from SA.

I've had a slower week as I caught another respiratory infection so not as much happened but I did manage to knit custom made jumpers for these cute teddies.  The cough is finally easing now so I plan on getting more tops finished ASAP.
