Arrivals and Finishes.

Lots more donations have arrived this week and I  have been verybusy documenting, photographing, counting and packing items for distribution.  Dymphne Anderson donated a large bag of 12 soft toys.
Lesley Lowe and the Kyabram quilters sent a large amount of donations including bags and boxes of hand knits, baby clothes and wraps etc and I haven't had a chance to completely unpack everything. 
Sue Ross and Andrea Hipworth (Vic) have donated 24 drawstring bags and 4 beautifully knitted baby beanies.
Lesley Lowe has very kindly donated a box of prepared bias bindings in a variety of colours, and I  have already used some.
Joy Walton  (Vic) has donated 3 beautifully knitted baby blankets,  4 knitted beanies,  a new teddy bear and a very generous donation of $100.
Karen Barrett from Qld has sent another large parcel containing 2 lovely quilt tops with backings and bindings, 16 Santa Sacks,  70 soap pouches and a generous donation of $20.
Jennifer Ray donated 2 beautifully knitted baby jackets which just needed to be sewn up and buttons added. 
Lesley Lowe and the Kyabram quilters sent the next 3 lovely I Spy quilt tops which are finished and have been donated.

Kaye Hardman (Vic) made the  next quilt top by using 2 stitchery blocks which had been donated. She made a cute tumbler border and sashing for the blocks and machine appliqued hearts decorated the other 2 blocks.
I finished the quilting on another donated top.
I've also knitted 4 pair of booties in a newborn size.
Finished another SB crocheted blanket for flood affected Rochester.

Many thanks everyone for your support.
