Aussie Hero Quilts

I have discovered this great blog.

Aussie Hero Quilts are making quilts for Australian Soldiers in Afghanistan.

These ladies are doing a wonderful job and hopefully some Aussie soldiers will be much warmer this year.

Now I just need to get onto that sewing.

Please pop over to Aussie Hero Quilts and see how you can help.

Christmas Treats

This Christmas past (2011) I was spoilt with 'crafty' presents. 

I felt really spoilt, so I thought I should share the pressies with you.

My wonderful husband bought this vintage style lace holder made from lovely silky oak timber. (My parents think it looks like a silk worm silk spinner). 

 I will have to remember to photograph the winder with lace on it.

 5 patchwork books from my sister that I had been 'online' stalking.

 and Mum found this piece of Quilty fabric in her Local Quilt Shop.

 a bundle of Christmas fat quarters from Karyn - her plan is that I will sew something from it (hopefully for her)

 And this gorgeous jely roll and layer cake from my in-laws. 

It is all red, white and blue with 'stitched' designs on them. 

 Yummy

 This cute book is full of 'quilty quotes' and biblical quotes about families and quilting.

Thanks Bindi.

I am a very lucky quilter.  Thanks to my family and friends I have lots of new things to do.

THANK YOU

To everyone who contacted us during the floods thank you.  For everyone who has prayed for us and our town. Thank You.  Please continue to pray for the grieving people of Roma. The family of Jane as they deal with laying her to rest, the residents who have nothing left, please pray for them.  As a community who are trying to rebuild please pray for them.

We now wait to find out how residents in our neighbouring towns have fared.  Mitchell - beginning clean up today & St George, waiting for the full force of the flood to hit.

Pray and help however you think you can.

We are okay

An update from yesterday.  We are okay and our house is okay.  We waded in to our house today to find that it had just missed the floorboards (hallelujah).  We still have heaps of mess to clean up but we are safe and happy.

Our concern now is for a mum from town who has washed away.  Please keep her and the rescuers in your prayers. 

Prayers please

My home is in Roma Qld.

We are currently in flood and my family have been evacuated.  Thankfully we have friends on high ground and our family (dogs included) are safe.

Many of our neighbours and friends will lose most of thier posessions and this will cause long term stresses.

Please keep praying for all of us and our friends in Roma, Mitchell and beyond.
