Bushfire Donations

Ok, here's what I'm sending to Australia for the Bushfire Quilt Project:


Its not much, but every little bit helps. The directions to those blocks are over on Quiltville.com and they are called Maverick Stars. I'm also sending 4 separate rolls of quilt binding. I know the project needs other items as well, like fabric backing, thread and quilt batting. Maybe some friends in Korea will want to send non-sewn goods to the cause.... after all, you'll be mailing to an APO, not necessarily a Australian address.

Anyway, my items are hoppin in the mail today. I hope you have a lovely morning! ~jen~

Bushfire Quilts

With all that's going on in Australia, another military spouse has started an effort to collect quilt blocks for those affected in the fires. You probably know her, Tia at CampFollowerBags. In fact, her work is amazing and I'd guess her work has inspired many a Military Uniform Recycler- myself included. I know there are a few ladies in Australia in the 2009 Spring Quilt Block Swap and I do hope that you are all safe and well. I'm going to do my part to donate a block or two & hopefully some binding strips to the cause. Thanks for organizing the blog-quilt effort! Click on the image to find out more.

Edited to add: You can see my blocks and the many many many others over in the flickr group created for this project.
