A finish

The sewing bag/bucket is finished, I did the hand sewing on the binding while watching TV last night.
Yay, project completed.
Today I had to go into Geelong to pick up my car, so decided a quick diversion into the fabric shop was needed, I decided to make a few blocks for the appeal  put out by Angels in Gumboots for blocks to make quilts for the families of the people who lost their lives in Christchurch last Friday.

This afternoon I completed 5 blocks
It is wonderful to go to the Angels in Gumboots page and see all the wonderful responses! Restores your faith in human kind.


These are the instructions if you are in making a few blocks the address to send them to is on the fb page. (Different address to the pattern I now see)
another packet arrived in the mail today from Shiralee Stitches for the Old Time Kaleidoscope quilt. More challenging cutting to be done!
Time to sort some dinner, happy stitching.

  1. I looked at their fb page and they mentioned not to use red or fabric with animals on it. Well done with your bag and good luck with fussy cutting that block. It will be well worth your effort. Well done making those heart blocks.

  4. Your bag is just wonderful! I'm so glad you got it done before your other big trip. Those are terrific hearts, and what a good cause that is. Even over here, we heard about that horrible tragedy.

  5. Angels in Gumboots appears to be a marvelous organization, and how generous of you to participate with time and materials. There are so many tragedies around the world - it gets a bit overwhelming at times ...
