Can you stitch a block for a cause?

Please pop over to Helens blog at Hugs' n Kisses who has a great offer to help towards the flood victims. She has asked for people to stitch a block from her new pattern The Great Aussie Spirit which will eventually end up as a complete quilt to auction to raise money. Head over for the details.

Can you believe it

Check the icon on the right.

Look how much the total tally raised.

Every little bit added up to this HUGE FIGURE.

As said over and over Toni and her crew - simple words with BIG meaning - Well done. You - we all contributed to that big dent being raised to help the flood victims recover.

Now it is time for recovery - it will be long but the Australian spirit will ride all through!

WAY TO GO!

$305 was raised just with the auction at If Only I Had Chocolate!!!

Don't pout if you missed out on an auction. There is still time to try with the raffles being held in blog land. Go to Make It Perfect for the Raffle Master List which closes at Midday tomorrow! I have my name in a few - crossing my fingers and toes!

QLD auction finishes tonight!

My tiny little bit to assist the floods

I am joining Toni Coward from Make It Perfect to run auctions here on my blog. I am offering seven designer kits - complete with instructions, fabric and DMC to make the goodies. Each kit represent to this moment seven people I know personally who are effected directly by the floods. I ask you to think generously. Not only are you donating to the cause but you are also receiving an awsome kit to stitch. It is a win win. Please share this with your blogging friends and BID!!!

I will post a kit a day for seven days starting tomorrow!

sewrumptious!

This arrived in my letter box this morning! I think I have a pattern for my fabric. Might have to go for a walk to The Quilted Crow (ye haw).

What do you think?

My mama visited with a bundle of fabrics which her husband is clearing away... This is fabric I offered to rescue. I will make a skirt (for me) - like I have been doing recently. I got 'that look'.

I thought it would be so cool with black to frame it. Can you see the vision? Or have I gone a bit funny?

I did it again...

This is how I spent my New Years Eve. Another skirt for me. Finished free motioning it this morning.



I hope you all have safely moved into 2011 and this year brings us all much fun and chocolate!
