I'm back

Well this sounds daft, but I forgot my password and couldn't log in! Have now rediscovered my password - yipee!.
Found this fantastic site the other day with a great idea for converting adults t shirts into trousers or shorts for children - what a great idea for recycling, or for clothing kids on a budget.

QAYG - gone

Finally got all the QAYG blocks that I made last year sent to Jan Mac in Australia for the bushfire victims. Too late probably for last years, just have to be an early start on this years victims. Sadly the bushfires seem to happen every year. I have just made 8 small quilts 18" square to send to the NICU at Dunedin hospital. Used up lots of bits of flannel, so now I am going to make some more to give to Starship.

QAYG blocks for Oz

I have been making quilt as you go (QAYG) blocks to send to Jan MacFadyen in Victoria to be made into quilts (http://ozcomfortquilts.blogspot.com). I thought I had made about 30, so I started counting and realised I had made over 50!

I have also made some binding for her to use for finishing the blocks into quilts.

I am tired f making these blocks, so I have decide to make some purple & cream 4 patch blocks from 6" squares to be made into a top as well.
