Blankets of Love.

My Wednesday patchwork/craft group have started making "Blankets of Love" for our local hospital.

The first 16 quilts were hand deliver to the hospital last week on the 1oth September and yesterday we hand deliver 21 more quilts.

Here are two I have made.

We hope to make some of these quilts each month for the hospital.

Roses Quilt.

This quilt is made with yummy flannelet FQ's that I purchase at Darling Harbour Show and later purchase fabric to finish the quilt from Penrith Patchwork.

The front is made of 6" squares cut from the 10 FQ. The Finished size is 69" X 65".

As always my little helper Darcy has got into the photo. The hands belong to my two DS's as they are tall enough to hold it up.

The back of the quilt has lovely fossil fern flannelet as well as bits of fabric from the front.

The quilt was machine quilted by Rosemary at Hobbysew.

More Fun with cards.

This is my first post in a long time. Have been busy with life and doing my favourite thing which is making fabric cards and my patchwork. This week on am working on a bead hanger that was in P & S mag that will be our new project for the end of the month at craft.

Anyway back to my cards I have been busy making 'The Beach' postcards for an OS FPC swap.The first two cards in this photo are my first ideas but I am happy with the third as you can see I made seven in all.

Card for Annemarie.

This little card is for Annemarie made with some of the FQ fabric she sent me.

I had fun doing this card with my embroidery machine.

Cards for Lyn.

I am having fun making these little cards. I made these cards for Lyn for return RAK that she sent me. Her card is in a early post and is just lovely.

Embroidery class.

This is Jenny Haskins pattern that we did on Tuesday and will be turned into a cushion for my lounge room.
First we added black fabric as the applique then stitched the design.
The background fabric is some cream damask.
I will be using a pink fabric to finish the cushion.
When I get some of the green threads I will make another cushion.

January White Sale.

These lovely Atc's are from a swap called January White Sale 2008.
The cards had to be white on white as the only rule.
Card 1 is from Shelley and what a clever idea. There is a button with a M and one with a heart.
Card 2 is from Elaine and the lovely lace with the beads are very dainty.
Card 3 is from Dot and her card has some angelina fibres and three little beads with lovely swirly fabric.
Card 4 is from Sharon and has a handmade butterfly which is needle tatted and some lovely petite beads and trims.
Last of all is my card and I have used my embroidery machine and did a little rose pattern on satin and added lace and trims.
