The last few days have seen me sewing up a batch of zipper purses using recycled denim and other fabrics. It's so satisfying to recycle fabrics that otherwise would probably end up in land fill.

Two children's quilts pieced and ready for the long arm quilter. The quilting group I'm in, Bay Quilters Wynnum, has a long arm quilter which is in the process of being repaired.

Recently I acquired some old denim jeans to repurpose. I enjoy working on some smaller projects and decided this time to make a tote combining machine embroidered stitch outs of barns. It's a roomy strong tote with an inside pocket.

Just finished the binding on my machine embroidered candlewick quilt. Being cream on cream quite hard to photo - suffice to say I love it. For the backing I used a 50 year old beautiful hand embroidered table cloth. It had seen many dinner parties but for the past few years sat unused in my linen cupboard. Now it has a new lease and hopefully can be admired for the next 50 years.

Recently I've been having some problems with my page, so I apologise if you've been affected by this! Moving on I'm posting a photo of a gorgeous quilt which takes a walk down memory lane featuring old fashioned pictures of children at play. The quilt is accompanied by a roomy tote bag.

Am now recovering from surgery and following up on many visits to QEII hospital I decided to donate to a Red Cross shop the hospital has on the ground floor. Posting a picture of one of the quilts donated together with some smaller items of baby bibs and children's pillowcases.
