No Scatterday this week

We are going away Friday for the weekend and will return home on Monday. I will publish my photos when I return home because I know my sister has a hobby which starts with M and I am sure she will have some weapons that start with M also.
See you all next week

Scatterday

Scatterday is here again. this week the letter was T and the categories were

Clothing...I chose a T shirt simple, in fact all my choices today are simple.

Purple... Tye Dyed Fabric, not 100% sure this is Tye Dyed but it looks like it could be.

Hot Things..... Of course had to be my morning pot of Tea could not start the morning without my cup of tea.

Looking forward to next week.

Quilt delivered and On it way

Late this afternon I met the Aunt of the little girl, Maddie, who will recieve one of our first finished quilts. Nicki, the Aunt is a lovely lady and was so grateful for all we could do. She loved the quilt and was amazed with how much work had gone into it. Nicki told us Maddie's grandmother will deliver the quilt to Maddie this weekend.

She told us about Maddie, she is just 3 years old. Just on a week ago she had an odd looking rash on her tummy that spread and her mum took her to the local Dr in Shepparton Victoria where they live. within 24 hours Maddie was in Melbourne in the Royal Children's Hopsital and had begun aggressive chemo and other treatment. They have been told she may lose the ability to walk for a while because of the treatment and it is looking like that will be the case as she is tottering over a lot. Maddie faces several weeks of this treatment then chemo once a week for two years, yes I did say two years. She has a98% survival chance so that news is good. Presently Maddie , her mum, dad and baby sister (4 months old) is staying in Ronald Mc Donald house.

MAddie has an older brother who is 10 years old. He is staying with his Grandparents in Shepparton. He is devastated with all that is happening and very confused. So I offered him a quilt also. His Aunt was astounded. I asked her what he would like and she said he likes Pokemon, it jsut so happens we have a pokemon quilt on the go, so a quick ring around tonight and we will finish it off for him tomorrow.

The Photo above is Maddie's Aunt recieving the quilt From me this afternoon.

We have been informed Ronald Mc Donald house in Melbourne would like to recieve quilts to pass on to sick children, so after we send the first batch of quilts to Westmead Hospital we will be sending quilts to Ronald Mc Donald house for a few months.

Quilts for Kids Update

While I haven't been writing of our progress with the Quilts For Kids, it doesn't mean we haven't been busy. I have a band of willing sewers and I have to work hard to keep in front of them.

We have finished five quilts, four cot quilts and one single bed quilt. We have three single bed quilts almost ready to quilt and we have7 other quilts in block stage some almost finished and some still a little way to go.

I have made a mosaic of the quilts we have finished. The bag is for the Southern Belle Lady quilt. Recently we heard of a local family who has a niece in the Royal Children's Hospital, she is three years old and just diagnosed with Leukemia. She faces years of frequent trips to hospital so we decided to present her Aunt with a quilt and ask her to pass it on to her niece. The only single bed one we had finished was this one so we hope she likes it. I made the bag and added the soft toy so that mum just has to grab the bag when she heads off to hospital.

Scatterday The letter H

Oh dear another week goes by and I have not posted to my blog. Life gets rather busy sometimes....

This week the letter was H and the Categories were

Human... And I thought Human Hair, and my beautiful granddaughter Amy has her ballet concert this weekend she is preforming 5 dances on two nights because the theatre was not big enough to hold everyone . Last night was the first performance and tonight we are going to watch her. It takes hours for my daughter to do her hair and she sits patiently while her mum does it and she is only 5 years old. Doesn't she look lovely.

Toys... Horatio and Hamish Two of my wonderful teddies given to me by my youngest son quite a number of years ago when I had to go to hospital for an operation. Also the letter H in the alphabet train hubby makes. The other H set in a mosaic.

Soft... My beautiful Healing Heart Quillow is so soft and cuddly.The hearts were sent to me from two online Quilting groups in May after my sister died. I had enough to make my quillow and four cushions one for each of my sisters and one for mum. They all love their cushions as much as I love my quillow which lives on my bed.

Scatterday

Another week has gone by, the time sure goes fast these days.

Today is Scatterday and the letter O was quite difficult. Just when I was about to give up some inspiration came to me yesterday afternoon

The categories are

Breakfast I chose Organic Cornflakes Unfortunately I had thrown the box out and was going to go to the supermarket and photograph another box but was not feeling well all week so you have to believe me. They are Norganic brand cornflakes and have organic on the box

Small Things Now I was really stumped with this one walking around the house and there staring at me were all my little Ornaments. So I photographed just some of my small ornamental bears and some of Hubby Peter's ornamental Buddhas there are plenty more

Shiny things Now this one was more difficult and I had to cheat. Opals, but I don't have any and was going to go to Jeweller's but again have not been out much this week so I took some photos off the Internet.

Oh almost forgot to mention that the wooden O is part of an alphabet train hubby makes.

Well now another week is gone I have met the challenge so onto next week.

I Did it !! Thanks Kate

Kate has been helping me through making a Mosaic and I have done it. thank you Kate!!!

This is a quilt I have just begun called Summer Pond. Pattern by Sindy Rodenmeyer of http://fatcatpatterns.com/ she is brilliant and her patterns are very cheap or free.... For the last couple of days I have been tracing ironing cutting and ironing and I have finally now have 20 blocks ready for appliqueing..

The pattern of course is a little rough as I couldn't rotate the corners so you have to imagine them facing the right way and I now notice I have the same photo twice twoo fish the same they should be different fish.

So now I will be as clever as the rest of the Scatterdaisies and be able to do Scatterday photos in mosaics easy when you know how........

Scatterday

Scatterday again! Where does the week go! I actually found this week hard thought it would be easy but thought about it for ages and if it hadn't been for my brilliant hubby and his tools I wouldn't have got a round thing....

Round Things....Angle grinder, hubby says the handle is round and the disc is round so I guess that passes

Vegetables.....Avocado, my favourite

Something you like the smell of.....Okay now this was hard too, so I came up with Aroma of freshly brewed coffee. I don't have coffee very often as it aggravates my panic attacks so every now and then I brew some decaffeinated coffee and enjoy it and what better excuse did I have. I love the aroma of the coffee....

Okay now what's on for next week seems it gets harder every week.
