New photos!

A few days ago I received photos of the latest quilts we sent being given out. Its such a joy to be able to bless these children!

Quilts arrived in Zimbabwe

We actually heard several weeks ago that our latest quilts had arrived :)) . So it was worth sending airmail this time - they arrived when it was still really cold. I was hoping to receive some photos of the kids with their new quilts, so held off letting you all know, but that hasnt happened. I know the director is even more busy thatn usual, with organizational changes that are happening.
So thank you very much, those who contributed to postage or fabric!!

and here are the quilts we finished on thursday

A boy one from me, and a girl one using up lots of nine patches from Jackie

Photos of the donated fabric

I did something wrong there - no photos. Trying again . . .

Two great parcels in the post

Lately we have received two great parcels of fabric donated by friends. The first was from Helen, an online friend who is downsizing her house and her stash - she sent a heap of bright pretty things to be used for our girly quilts. So many, I am just itching to get into them!

Then very unexpectedly a big red parcel bag came from Joan. This one also contained some bright pretty fabrics, lots of them suitable for quilts for little boys. So both our target groups have some lovely new fabrics, and soon quilts on the way. Thank you so much to Helen and Joan, you will make some Zimbabwean children very happy!

Speeding Along!

This quilt was just finished today - I've been part of a block swap with an online group. Over the last 6 months, we send 2 centre squares out to two swappers, who use their own fabric choices to make the blocks. This one is called the Pennsylvania block. So I got 12 from this swapping process, and made three more myslelf. And today its finished !

Pink, White and Green

More donated blocks have had their quilt finished today - pink and white and green ones given to me by Jo. Thanks so much, Jo!

I love making things like this that are girly and pretty, its not my usual style, so its fun to do once in a while
