A Call for Cushions!

good morning to you!

if you read my last post

you would have noticed three cushions

on the black couch...

these have been packaged up and sent off

to my cousin in rockhampton

who has been coping with water in her backyard and

a newborn baby.

as you are probably aware

there will be many traumatised families

throughout queensland

and now victoria

is also affected by the floods.
{mr t and sharrie are in bendigo}

i want to make more cushions!

and probably aprons...

'cos they are what i like sewing at the moment...

if you like making these as well

and want to help...

join with me if you want to

and i will get these cushions and aprons

to people who will appreciate them

to whom it will make a difference.

my husband can take things north

and my brother is in brisbane

and our church is an arm of christian outreach centre

and has many contacts and knowledge of agencies in brisbane

and throughout queensland.

just a thought...

so leave a comment

or

better still an email..email address found on my profile page

to let me know you're interested

in making a cushion cover or two

(i will buy the insert to keep postage to a minimum)

i'm thinking up to 50cm or 20 in at the largest
would be good...40 or 45 cm is ideal
as far as getting inserts off the shelf is concerned at a reasonable price...
any type of closure is fine..
this is a chance for you to be as creative as you would like to be
with colour and closures and design!

or an apron...adults or kids

and i will give you my postal address

so you know where to send stuff!!

by the way...

if making quilts are your thing,

retromummy is collecting blocks or quilts

and there is a softees collection

going on at http://www.monkeemoomoo.blogspot.com/

if those are your fortes...

join in if you can!

thanking you all...

and linking up with 'quilt story' ....button on sidebar,

ps...just some examples of cushions i made last year...hopefully to inspire you!
