Finally Some Finishes.

I haven't had time to finish more quilts as I have been busy sewing on labels to a large number of quilts. They're finally all done now and I'm now packing lots of quilts for delivery. 
I did have time to bind 4 lovely donated quilts which didn't take 2 long. The first 2 were donated by the Bunyip Patchworkers and the second 2 tops were donated by Ann Bacon and very kindly quilted by Norma Aitken. 

I also joined 8 smaller crocheted blankets together to make 2 larger ones. I have been busy crocheting more squares for blankets as they are needed now the nights are colder.
Hugs, Jan Mac xx
