Doing It For The Kids...
I hope to make child friendly quilts for either the local hospital OR the various community Charites, Refuges or Organisations that need a helping hand.
I've already started working on one this month...
& you'll see it below...

In my stitching cubbyhole...
I only grabbed small amounts of time - here & there -
BuT I did manage to get a few things ✅ on my list...
In December I volunteered to make a charity quilt from a donated kit.
It's called My Garden by Homestead Selection & it definitely has a country feel.

I made a start & block #1 was quickly finished...
On another day... block #2 was prepared & then blanket stitched...
During an afternoon visit... the appliqué on block #3 was fused in place...

I was excited last Tuesday when I won a prize in the Guild raffle... yippee...
Four gorgeous "dotty" fabric lengths... so I'm over the moon...😁

I also managed to put together another 3 rows of TriDazzle too...
I'm really happy with how it looks so far...

It's my first 2021 project for "Doing It For The Kids" & it's also my WOOFA project.

Nice blocks. I twice won the Fat Quarter Shop prize from Patty at One Monthly Goal. It cost $13 US to ship my free stuff to Canada. I don't think I have used any of the things I bought either time, yet. One of these days. I did my FNWF stitching last night which was our Thurs night.
Cute bears. You already do so much for charity I’m sure you will do a lot more.
Your QAYG are growing.
Lovely spots to win.... you wil make good use of them... I love your generosity to make the children quilts ... great mantra...
Tridazzle is looking great....and those kit blocks look fun... your blanket stitch is always so beautifully done...

A lovely win there. Looking forward to seeing how you use them. Oh those bears have the cutest faces.
Kid's quilts are fun to make, so I'm sure you will enjoy "doing it for the kids"! The bears are a very cute start.
What a wonderful aim for the year.
And you may have only had little bits of time sewing but I still think you have achieved a lot.
Your projects are looking great.
How lucky to win the sporty fabrics. They’ll be perfect in your kid’s quilts. All your current projects look great.
Sounds like another great organisation to sew for... I love to make kids quilts... Cute bears...
Good progress on all projects ...
You have accomplished a lot this week. I love the applique blocks and those spots are right up my street - lucky you! xx
