Here it is nearly the end of the month....this year had flown by!!
Today at Bellarine Quilters we gave 53 bags with toiletries to the Vincent De Paul group who support women leaving a domestic violence situation.
Last two bags I made with odd bits of denim and left over felt and fabric.
I hope to get more photos soon.
The FB photo came in just as I was doing this post, here are all the donated bags ready to go. (Mine are on hold until next time as all the toiletries were used up this time)
I delivered several quilts to the group to go to the Oncology ward at Geelong Hospital, made by Judy and Christine. Good feeling when the finished quilts go to where they need to go.
we had a sunny afternoon one day last week so I sandwiched and pinned the Thomas quilt
and the strip quilt
Both quilts are now quilted and the strip quilt has a little more binding to sew down and both will be finished.
The Peas in a Pod blocks are coming along, I think I will get another 12 blocks from the black and gray fabric, then the joining together starts. They should have been finished but a friend visiting in the week said, next time I see you I want to see the Thomas quilt done! So of course as I am seeing her tomorrow off I went quilting and the Peas were left on the desk. Hope to get back to them soon, although we have a busy week coming up, lots of appointments and up to Ballarat on Friday to see the neuro for David.
I had better go and get veges in for dinner, I lashed out and bought a cooked roast of pork at the supermarket today - that is what happens when I don't have lunch before going to the supermarket and I am hungry!! Still makes for an easier dinner and will do two meals.
Happy stitching.
What a fantastic group project you all did. Well done on getting the quilts done. There’s nothing like accountability to get us motivated. Dinner sounds yum.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are great. That’s a lot of bags made. Well done. All your appointments take time and drain you. Sewing will happen when you’re up to it.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, the bags are a neat idea, do you buy the toiletries to go in them too?
ReplyDeleteNice work Sue and those bags all look great. xx
ReplyDeleteTwo nice bags you made from scraps to add the others all te ladies made for a great cause.
ReplyDeletewell done getting the quilts done.
All the best with all the appoinments.
Some lovely quilts there Sue. And Thomas is done so you can make more peas in the pod blocks now. LOL The gift bags are a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a wonderful idea regarding the toilet bags Sue. I need to suggest this to our craft group. You have been busy with the quilt tops again. I hope Davids appointments go well. A cooked roast of pork sounds just perfect Sue - we hardly ever have pork & I do enjoy it. xx
ReplyDeleteI love how the denim bags turned out. What a special project!
ReplyDeletewell done all of you with the bags... great cause and so are the quilts... you are certainly getting things done at home.... the roast pork sounds good. nothing wrong with the easy meals!

The bags are a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilty finishes xx
What beautiful toiletries kits! I’m sure they are appreciated. The peas in a pod blocks look interesting. I want to try it.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on a few of your last posts. You have certainly been busy in and out of the sewing room. Trying to get anything electronic sorted is a nightmare.....so much conflicting information give out. The lift will be a bonus for David and worth the hassle once installed. You are right...where has this year gone?????
ReplyDeleteThe toiletry bags are a fantastic idea. Well done. You have achieved so much with those quilts as well. Hope David's appointment went well.
