I've had a lovely week with my birthday celebrations on Friday and lovely time with family but I didn't get as many quilts finished as I counted and packed 1,500 drawstring bags. However I did finish this hexagon quilt which I made from donated hexagons. I've been piecing hexagon flowers during my travels and then hand appliquing them to background fabric.
I have more donated hexagons in various sizes and they are easy to take on my travels so I will most likely take them on future trips too.
I've also started knitting myself a cardigan which I'm really enjoying. I've been knitting since I was 7 and my lovely Mum was an expert knitter so I always had lots of beautiful handknits. However when the Kosovo refugees came to Australia in 1997 I befriended about 30 of them and donated all of my knitwear to them as they were returning to Kosovo in winter and were unsure of what they were returning to. I've decided that I need to knit some more for me, as well as handknits to donate.
Hugs, Jan Mac xx
