Update on quilt progress.

The photo shows a quilt on a bed in an orphanage in East Timor from the first shipment I sent.
I'm trying to get as many quilts finished as possible before the end of year as I've just been asked to supply quilts to people in remote areas of Pakistan affected by the earthquakes in Oct 2005. They will also take the crocheted woollen blankets, knitted hats, shawls and scarves I have on hand. I'm now busy getting some more warm things made so they will receive them before their weather becomes too cold, but I beleive that they are already having snowfalls.
I was very excited to hear that I have a way of getting quilts to them as it will save me a huge amount on postage costs. I'm very fortunate to have so many generous quilting friends who have also offered donations of wool so I can make more blankets. Usually when my supplies of wool are getting low, I buy used jumpers in good condition, pull them out and re-use the wool in crocheted blankets.
At the moment I'm quilting and binding two quilts a day thanks to my new quilting machine. I piec tops and blocks during the day and quilt and bind at night. The quilts I'm making are mainly larger ones of at least single bed size so they take longer to make but are a more useful size. Back to the machine at Quilt Central Kialla
