Donation made :o)

I'm so happy to let you all know that I've made the donation to Red Cross!!!! Huge big thanks go to Kim from Honeysuckle Cottage as it was her very generous high bid that won the Diamonds and Braids kit.

Here's the receipt from Red Cross :o)Don't forget to keep supporting Handmade Help - there are still loads of items up for sale with donations going to various charities who are helping the people and animals involved in the Victorian Bushfires.

Thank you :o)

Bidding has ended now for my Handmade Help/eBay auction to aid the Vic Bushfire Appeal. I'd like to thank all the people who bid on the kit when it was on eBay (before and after it was removed). I started the auction at $80 and I'm pleased to bits that it reached $135.00. Such a fabulous result. Thank you :o). Every cent will go to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
HUGE big thanks go to Kim who put in the highest bid - I'll be in touch for your snail mail address Kim :o).

A bit of stitching :o)

I got together with my friends Valerie and Lyn (no blogs) today and we did some stitching. They both wanted to make my toiletries bag so I thought I'd make another one too .... that's 5 I've made now LOL, but this one I'm going to keep, cos it's PINK!!!!! And I LOVE pink!!!!! I should have piccies of theirs to show you next week - they hadn't quite finished them when it was time to go home so I left them with their homework he he he.

I haven't forgotten that my giveaway finishes on Saturday!!!!! How exciting!!! You still have time to leave a comment here to win - I'll draw 3 winners and they'll each receive the pattern to make this cute Panda quilt (that's still looking for a name ;o)!!!!) ..........

I've had some fabulous suggestions for names for the quilt and I'll let you know what I've decided on when I announce the winners :o).

Also there's still plenty of time to get your bids in on my Ebay Auction to aid the Victorian bushfires appeal. The auction is for a kit to make my JoyPatch Diamonds and Braids quilt ..... almost the same as the one pictured above, only the charms squares are slightly different. Included in the kit is a Moda "Laurel" jellyroll, 1 yard Moda "Oak Leaves and Reel"; 1 yard Moda "Simplicity"; 40 x 5" Moda "Laurel" charm squares and a "Diamonds and Braids" pattern by JoyPatch. You will have to provide batting and backing fabric for yourself.

You can find the listing here :o). Every cent made on my auction will go to Red Cross for the bushfire victims.

That's all for now ... talk soon
