BLANKETS OF LOVE

I really like what Cheryll from Blankets of Love does

Fantastic quilters donate these beautiful little quilts to local hospitals.

Here are the ones I have done.

Cheryll, they are on their way.

I made 8 out of 2 mini Jelly rolls.

I did the rocking horse for the boys

The girls I made these cute fairies.. 

How sweet are these hands. Yes one for the boys and another for the girls.

They feet are so cute and I made one in the blue and one in pink.

MAY OPAM & binding blitz

Here are all my finishes for MAY in one post

Here are my 1XiAM but there are 5

2 very quick Table Runners & 3 Bon Bons to put in those lovely chockies... Yummy.

My 3 COTTAGE GARDEN thread holders. I made one for my Gail Pan swap with my friends at a day out at the Geelong Quilt In, the other two are in the gift box or for the trade table during the year.

 My 4 scrappy pink thread catchers, my green scrappy zippered pouch, purse and journal cover, Xaviers Library Bag & a stitched note book cover

Then for the last of my items this month are my BLANKETS OF LOVE for Cheryll to take to the hospitals

4 Day Retreat with friends part 1

I was lucky enough to go away with my local quilt group, Kilmore Quilters last weekend. Our 4 day retreat was to the Alpine Ash retreat at Toolangi. We had a great time with lots of laughter and fun, of course, some sewing too.

This is what I got up to.....

 

5 BLANKETS OF LOVE  for CHERYLL

Another jigsaw puzzle quilt for the boys. This one is a little different. I ran out of some larger fabric and was left with smaller pieces. So I decided to cut some 6" squares and fit them into a 12" to give a different look.

 And of course we visited The Patchwork Teahouse in Warburton for lunch and shopping.

We also had Anna's Patchwork Quilt shop from Taggerty visit us

Flannel Blankets of Love

I found some pieces of Flannelette so I thought I would use it up and make some "blankets of love" for Cheryll to pass on to the hospital.

These are 11" blankets with flannelette on either one side or both sides. 

I have also made "MEMORY PATCHES" to go with them.

Have a look HERE for more info

Blue Blankets of Love

I sat down and made some beautiful Blue Blankets of Love.

To be posted off to Cheryll.

Look here to find out more.   BLANKETS OF LOVE

They are flannel backed and measure between 5"-11".

They are so cute and it is hard to believe that a baby can be so small. Hope these can be put to some use where a family will love them as much as their child.

Quilts of love

I have made some little " Quilts of Love " to send to Cheryll.

She has been coordinating these donations for a while.

Have a look at Cheryll's site "BLANKETS OF LOVE" to find out how to join in and why she does it.

I love the little ducks on the flannelette backing 

Then we have cute little teddies. 

They are cotton one side, flannelette the other. They are tiny.

They range between 5" - 12"

Cute baby quilts

I made some little girls quilts for charity. I'm sure they will go to good use.
They measure less than 24"
