Still love reading blogs, writing blogs and sometimes the bonus of  meeting bloggers.........

zoom $$$$ results.........

Sorry to the girls who were on zoom at the time and I think Sue tried to join later.......my sudden rush off to work....lets just say it was a big week and leave it at that.........onto the good stuff..........

I was working on cutting some more blocks for Chapel Street.......

Slowly they are adding up...........still have not located the first couple of blocks I made in Qld last year.......they will turn up.........

Zoom had a constant group popping in and out all day............I think we had about 18 people join in and a few more donated that could not join..............

For those over seas I just converted to AUD to get an amount 

the great news is we raise $406.38 

for Breast Cancer Network Australia and some international breast cancer charities............

that is a wonderful effort........thankyou to those who donated........

It was a pretty sunrise............

Jude's fundraising is mostly done...........

All up with Jude's 21st birthday celebrations she had raised about $3200 and add our collection for the cause that's about $3600.......amazing effort............

the good thing is Jude is a still donating a % of sales of the goods on her blog link here, here and here...........you might be able to find some lovely fabrics to join your stash...........she also has numerous kits cuts too...........you can grab something this weekend.....sale ends 28th Feb

once I had the blues cut I started cutting into these brights.......

didn't get a photo of where I got up to..............

Anyway have a great weekend.........

Got some domestic goddess things to do here.........tame the yard........then need to organise and move heaps of things in the Chookshed for some more work to happen out there.........

Catch you later..........

Celebrating a 21st on zoom as a fundraiser..............

Well I bet you're wondering what I am talking about here...............

News From Jude is celebrating 21 years of her quilting business.............she's having all kinds of celebrations from retreats to sales, to afternoon teas to zoom............check out the link here  and the sale page here.......some stuff is already gone............

Yep we get to join in too............

I am co hosting with Jude this Sat 18th Feb

Soooooooo what I plan is that you will make a small donation to join in with the zoom session..........As Jude has done for many years we will be raising funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia

Here is the donation page. You can make it as big or small as you like. I am thinking minimum $10...........There page has suggested amounts but you can choose how much you donate. Friends of Jude if you have been to one of her events already I am sure you have contributed to her fundraising there......so no need to double up and Jude will know who those people are ...

For those overseas please find a breast cancer charity in your country and make a donation to them. 

THEN....................

Once you have made your donation send me on EMAIL a copy of your receipt of payment so we can keep a tally for Jude. If you are Judes friend happy for you to EMAIL it to her. 

(leave a comment on this post if the email link does not work ot contact me on my right sidebar)

SO hoping to START super early as usual my NSW Australia time 6am and hoping its a good length of time for the day.....maybe a sewing marathon day.........

Will definitely be testing out the air con this weekend........we have a run of 40's coming up...........

If your a stitcher and you make a donation this zoom will be open to all not just bloggers..............

Ok so who wants to join the day sewing together.............

Don't be afraid if you have not sewn on zoom............Just imagine your friends sitting around the dining table with you and thats what its like except better cause you don't have to clean up or prepare food for them to come visit.............

Ok gotta run to work.........
Catch you later..........
