it's hot, hot, hot!!!

Hi everyone

we are in the middle of a really HOT spell here in Adelaide - 38C on Friday, 42C on Saturday and 42C today :)

but I managed to get some sewing done for CHERISH do. Good Stitches

  








Can't wait to see this one completed - there are 10 of us, each making a row in a different colour of the rainbow. :)

Stay cool my fellow South Aussies!

Doing Good Stitches

I am currently the host of the CHERISH circle of do. Good Stitches {a Charity Bee} - we are an Australian group of stitchers/quilters that forms part of the wider circle of do. Good Stitches.  We make quilts to benefit our local communities with various charities being chosen by the individual quilter.  


We are quilters who enjoy working in a modern style and wish to use our resources to make something beautiful and practical for people in need. To find out more about do. Good Stitches and how you can join in, please visit our bee's community page do. Good Stitches on Flickr.

Aussie quilters/stitchers are needed :)  If you would like to be part of a great group of people Doing Good, please visit our Parent Group on Flickr and/or FILL IN THE FORM to express your interest :)
