| Charlie and her friend Louise in 50's clothes |
Last week an aunt gave me a box of her old fabric remnants and a Quilting Patterns book that looks like it will be very useful. I have had such fun looking through the fabrics and am using some for a secret project. It has a bit of a vintage vibe I think.
In June this year Charlie is going on a mission trip to Vanuatu with her school. The team will be installing two large concrete water tanks as well as doing other things. Charlie is excited to be going but the fund raising has had a huge impact on our time, hence the lack of making and blogging so far this year! The latest fundraiser was a vintage fashion show which was a lot of work but a very successful evening. The girls all looked gorgeous in clothes and accessories from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Perhaps after June normal transmission may resume? Wendy xx
Your Bluebird is gorgeous Wendy. I'm sure Charlie will have a wonderful time. Austin was going to Vanuatu on a mission trip this year but pulled out due to him now doing his mechanics. Everyone who has gone in the past at school has said what a wonderful experience it is.
ReplyDeletePretty bird Wendy, you will have fun with all that fabric!
ReplyDeleteHello Wendy and Charlie,

ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, your little bluebird is just gorgeous & will look lovely on your white tree. Those fabrics were a great gifted treasure - some lovely small prints in there plus looks like a gorgeous vintage sheet. The girls look so wonderful all dressed up - best of luck for their fundraising. Charlie is growing into such a beautiful young lady :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy... such a cute Bluebird, beautifully stitched... and how wonderful to come into the items from your relative, some good inspiration in there for you, it seems! x

Such gorgeous models Wendy. Love your little bluebird
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for Charlie to be participating in such a great project, love your stitching as always.
ReplyDeleteOur community has teams of people going over to countries in need and they all come back saying the same thing....it was so worth the visit on many levels. I have always been one of the knitting team when any of our town folk go over seas. The amount of beanies and children's jumpers I have made....phew!! lol Charlie will remember this trip. I hope all the fundraising goes well for you.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Anita.
