65 Roses charity Quilt - WhipUp.net

Hello :0)

Annette here, thought i would share what i made last night. I was having a bit of a blog hop yesterday and i came across WhipUp.net .

 This lady has close family members who are affected by Cystic Fibrosis  and to help raise awareness of this disease she is organising a quilt block drive, and so The 65 Roses Quilt was the way to do it.  65 Roses Day is named after a folklore story - and raises awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.

 The Quilt - ocmprised of 65 blocks will be auctioned at the CF Australia annual gala auction event in Canberra in September 2010.

I think its a great cause so i have made mine and will pop it in the mail tomorrow :0)

If you want the details, click on all the links above.

Okay so here is my contribution, like i told you a couple of days ago i am hooked on my

Mini fingertip rotary cutter at the moment, so cutting was done in a matter of minutes!!

The fabric was some bits i had from Tarisota .

 
  On each block the top lefthand square is to have a rose appliqued or embroidered on it, there are templates provided or you can design your own.

This took me back to my primary school days where we learnt how to embroider (thanks goodness i listened!! ;0), so i did it in chain stitch and satin stitch in the middle.

And the end result

i was happy with the end result, it was done with what i had on hand, but i'm thinking i might just have a little trip to Spotlight next week and make another ;0)

Hope your weekend is relaxing.

Thanks for stopping by
