Time for Knitting.

Marg Coulthard (Vic) is a generous supporter of Oz Comfort Quilts and she has been busy knitting these 6 lovely pairs of baby booties.
These cute soft toys are wearing lovely vests also made by Marg Coulthard and they're now ready for donation to kids in foster care.
I finished knitting a jumper for a 4 year old child which will also be donated. 

We had some school uniforms donated recently and I couldn't remove the school logo from a pair of white shorts so I cut the bottom off the shorts and made it into a skirt by adding a gathered frill attached around the new lower edge. It only took about 30 minutes and it's a great way to repurpose clothing. The shorts were new and unusable as the school had changed its uniform, but now it's wearable and looks better in person.

 

I hope to soon have a contact to deliver quilts to families whose homes were severely damaged in the recent storms which affected the Dandenong Ranges so there's plenty of need for more quilts. 

Hugs, Jan Mac
