Ready, cut, sew

When joining in with FNwF an early start was made as my mission was to cut out the required fabrics and wadding for 20 bowl cosies  -  5 were for an order that came in last week and the remainder will be for my stall next month.


Mission accomplished now to sew them up.  

I joined my parents for a birthday morning tea during the week.   Their birthdays are one day apart. 


Over the course of many of my previous blog posts some of the items that I have sewn for our local hospital auxiliary stall have been shown so I thought that some of you might be interested to see a photo of myself with a few of the other volunteers - we do the set up and morning shift up to midday - taken at our stall last Saturday.  I am the tallest of the group.


On Tuesday at the first Auxiliary meeting of this year we were presented with a Certificate of Merit for raising in excess of $50,000 this financial year.


Time to head off to start the day with shopping and then attending my quilting group after lunch.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
