More Finishes To Share.

 These tops were all made by members of my quilting group and I quilted them for our Gift Quilt Program. The first 2 were originally one large quilt which I divided into 2 as it was too large for our purpose.  Luckily I had enough navy paisley fabric to make new borders for the second top.

 We had stockpiled about 120 tops as well as making new ones so I, along with other members, have been focusing on quilting tops, especially those which have been sitting in the cupboard for a few years. Lol. It's surprising how much better the older tops look when they are quilted.
I have more tops pinned for quilting so I should have more to share soon.

More Support From WA.

 Huge thanks again to my wonderful blogging friends in Western Australia. Delys R. has been very busy again and sent this beautiful top with backing, binding and also more border fabric so I can divide the top into two smaller tops. It is a very large top and I will divide it to make two beautiful quilts for patients receiving treatment at the Peter Mac Cancer Centre.

 Delys also made another 8 QAYG blocks to match the other 24 she sent recently. Delys has been careful to make these blocks for males, so she has made sure to make them without pinks or floral fabrics. These blocks will also be used to makemors quilts for Peter Mac.

Delys also has sent 5 knitted beanies and another ball of yarn to make crocheted squares or beanies for New Guinea. Many thanks for your ongoing support Delys and my other blog readers. We are helping those in need by sharing our quilting, knitting and crochet skills and I am very grateful for your help with these quilt projects.

Incredibly Generous Support.

 The postman delivered another surprise parcel of these beautiful quilts made by Maria W. from WA. Maria is a prolific quilter and very generous supporter of my quilt projects. I love the simplicity of the design of the first quilt. Do you have the name of the pattern, Maria? It looks stunning and will bring comfort to a patient at Peter Mac Cancer Centre.

 Maria also made another Superhero quilt for kids at Peter Mac Cancer Centre  and it is lovely and cuddly.

 This lovely little quilt will bring warmth to a baby in New Guinea and the stitcheries are just lovely.

 This lovely cot quilt was made by Maria's daughter, Sandra, and will be much appreciated by Anglicare.

Maria also included a set of blocks to be made into a quilt so I plan to make a couple more to match them and another quilt will be born. Lol
Thank you so much Maria and Sandra for your generous and ongoing support.

So Far.

 In between finishing quilts I'm also crocheting squares and knitting beanies for Medivac in New Guinea. Luckily I gave some wonderful supporters who are also quilting,  crocheting and knitting which means the pile of items is growing much more quickly than with just the items I am making.
  This first blanket was made using crocheted squares made by Linda A. from UK/NZ.

 The second blanket was made from squares I crochet while traveling or watching the TV.

I've also been knitting beanies and so far have made 8 for babies. For those who are knitting, any size is very welcome and I don't have a pick up date yet so I will keep knitting and stitching until I hear from them.
  Many thanks for all of your support.

Baby Quilts Again.

 The babies have arrived so I have machine appliqued the baby's names and quilted the tops. I still have one last baby quilt to make, one more to name and quilt,  and another appliqued one for Jake. I'd better get busy with them and hope that no more babies arrive in the family for a little while. Lol

Hugs, Jan Mac 

Quilts For New Guinea.

 I've made a start on making quilts for New Guinea, using up some of the QAYG blocks I had on hand. These will be used for Medivac flight patients and I will be making them in varying sizes.

I'm still knitting beanies and crocheting Granny squares for blankets too and should have some of those to show soon. I'm trying to get as much done as possible before we start looking after Jake in April as my quilting time is going to be limited then but there will be the benefits of seeing our happy grandson every day.
More to share soon.

Very Blessed Again.

 What a week it has been for wonderful donations for my Quilt Projects. These 2 fabulous quilts were made and donated by Ann G. from NSW,  and they will be going to the Peter Mac Cancer Centre for some of their patients. Ann makes beautiful quilts and I feel very blessed that she honours me with her support.
   These quilts do make a real difference in bringing comfort to those in need and it warms my heart to be able to gift these quilts. Thank you so much Ann, and my other quilting friends, for sharing their talents.

Hugs, Jan Mac
