Puddling Along and More Donations.

I've been working on my Poppies quilt blocks and have finished another and made progress with 3 more so the appliqued blocks are nearly finished now. I'm still busily knitting layette outfits of jacket, beanie and socks/booties for newborns for St Kilda Mums and have a few more beanies and socks to knit which will match jackets.


I think that more knitting has been happening in the evenings as we've been watching television programs which require more attention but I hope to get the stitched blocks finished soon so I can get  the pieced sections done and other quilt finished.

Maggie Gilbert from NSW has very generously donated 2 flannel layer cakes which will make a lovely warm quilt to donate.
Lynne Kempnich from Tasmania has very generously donated 2 lovely crocheted blankets as well as 2 unfinished tops.

We're still in lockdown and it was sad to hear that Jake was inconsolable during the week as he wanted to see us and play at our home. We face timed them and took photos of his sand pit and construction toys which made him happier as he knew that they were waiting for him. We're hoping to be able to care for them again in 3 weeks time which is something to look forward to.
Hugs, Jan Mac

Oh, your knitted baby items are so sweet! I'm sure the new Mums will love them. And it is very generous of you to donate them. It must take quite a bit of time to make them, with the lovely little details :)
