We were child free today and I'm wrapping up distribution for the year as most organisations take a break now until mid January so it was lovely to take some time to put together a top from blocks I've been working on for 18 months or so. I received a lot of hexagons and have been piecing them together to make flowers and then appliqueing them onto backgrounds. I joined the blocks and added borders so it's now ready for quilting when I piece a back.
The Monday Quilters from Macedon came today to deliver 50 quilts and 177 drawstring bags. These wonderful ladies are helping me to finish the donated UFOs, orphan blocks and fabric into quilts and they're very creative in how they make odd numbers of blocks etc work. There will be lots of warm hugs and comfort for people in need because of their generosity in using their skills and time to help others. These are just 22 of their 50 quilts and I will share more photos soon.
Hugs, Jan Mac xx

Love what these ladies do. I am staying at Barbs tonight and miss sewing with this group. They are a supportive and helpful group of ladies. Anyone wanting a group to join near the Macedon ranges follow them up. They meet every week and it is a great day. They are wonderful.
