The Postman Has Been Busy.

 More parcels arrived today and Yvonne Hamilton in the US sent these 2 lovely kid's tops with Paddington Bear fabrics. They will be sure to bring a smile to little faces and I will get them quilted ASAP.

 Heather Mahncke and her mother, from Vic , have again sent a big parcel with 3 more lovely quilt tops.

 They also included more lovely blocks and lots of them have beautiful machine embroidery so they will look lovely as a quilt.

 Margaret Bryant from Vic has also sent a large parcel with 35 fabulous QAYG  blocks made in blue with a touch of red. I will put these together with red sashing and hope to get them done soon.

 Margaret also sent a lovely I Spy top with backing, binding and batting so I will pin baste that one tomorrow and get it finished quickly.

Also in the parcel Margaret included $20 towards batting, as well as more sets of binding, some orphan blocks and a long strip of Chinese Coins which I can use to make wider backings.
     Thank you all so much for your help with our quilt drive for bushfire affected areas. As well as East Gippsland we will be distributing in the Corryong area before helping in southern NSW if we have enough quilts leftover from distribution in Vic..
It was a big family day today so I hope to get more quilting done tomorrow.

More Donations Arrive.

 MaryAnn and Kevin Kane are over in Melbourne on holidays from New Zealand and they brought donations for our quilt drive with them. It was lovely to meet them and MaryAnn has been very busy making 3 large tops and also donated backing fabric.

 She also managed to make 14 QAYG blocks before she left home.

 As well as crocheting 17 squares and a part square she was making on the flight across. I quilted 2 of these lovely tops today and had a big day, quilting 4 tops and pin basting 2 more. It was too late for photos by the time I was finished so I will share some tomorrow.

Helen Stewart from Vic sent this lovely top as well as 30 QAYG blocks and it's great to have so much support for this quilt drive. I must count and box up the finished quilts I have ready to donate as the pile is getting quite high now.

More Oz Comfort Quilts Finished.

 This first quilt was made from blocks sent by Heather Mahncke from Vic and I added some from those I had on hand to make a larger quilt.

 These 2 beautiful floral pastel quilts were donated tops from Lex Collins. Lex handed them over yesterday and it was great to get them finished quickly and ready to donate.

I'm also busy making backings and pin basting more tops so there will be more finishes very soon.
