It's Nearly Christmas.

It's almost Christmas time and time for family gatherings while things are winding down for the organisations we support. I've been doing some sewing for the grandchildren and knitting for babies as one of my DD's close friends is pregnant with triplets. Knitting premmie garments is fairly quick but doing them for 3 will take a lot longer. Lol. I have also heard that a niece is having a baby soon so another quilt will be needed. We've enjoyed watching some televised cricket matches and it's a good opportunity to put my feet up and knit. We also had tickets to see the latest Avatar movie yesterday but I would have preferred to spend time on my sewing as it was very long at 3.5 hours, has a weak storyline and consisted of CGI non-stop. We enjoyed the first one but wouldn't go to the next one  and it looks like it has been set up for another movie.

More fabulous donations continue to arrive with a large parcel from Maria Wilson from WA containing 2 beautiful quilts and 4 lovely Santa Sacks.

Kaye Hardman has donated 3 cute teddies with vests she made for them and her lovely mother,  Billie,  has knitted another teddy bear and newborn's beanie for Life's Little Treasures. 

Eleanor Vardanega from NSW has sent a large parcel containing 2 beautiful quilts,  12 drawstring bags and 9 bassinet sheets. 

Lynn Barker from NSW has very generously sent another 2 large parcels containing lots of fabric, a beautifully crocheted blanket,  3 cloth bags, some lovely kits and some UFOs to finish off for more donations. Lynn has beautiful taste in fabric and it will be fun to finish off the UFOs to donate. 

 The quilt below is the second quilt made by Maria Wilson from WA. 

Many thanks for your generous support everyone. 

Hugs, Jan Mac xx
