Some Progress.

This fabulous Australian themed quilt top was donated with backing and binding and Norma Aitken very kindly quilted it for me so I only had to finish the binding. It's a lovely quilt for our Bushfire Quilt Drive. 

This was a donated top which I quilted. 

I also finished 2 single bed blankets from donated squares and knitted a premmie baby's jacket. 

 Apart from that I'm still busy sorting and packing donations but hope to get back to more quilt and blanket finishes soon. Many thanks everyone for your generous support.

Many Thanks To Judith Mitchell From NSW.

These 24 magnificent quilts were all made and donated by Judith Mitchell from NSW and she drove down from Sydney and delivered them to me. They will all be great quilts for our Quilt Drive for the bushfire affected areas as there are so many large ones which are always in demand. 

This quilt has been heavily machine embroidered and it looks fabulous in person.
