<br />
Summer is well and truly here - and so are the bushfires. At the moment fires are raging in <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-06/thousands-stranded-as-crews-continue-to-battle-fires/4454600?WT.svl=news0" target="_blank">Tasmania</a>, with 100 properties destroyed so far. Watching the devastation brings back the awful memories of why Snuggle Quilts <a href="http://snugglequilts.blogspot.com.au/2009/03/initial-request.html" target="_blank">first began</a>.<br />
<br />
We've been quiet since 2011 (life became overfull) - but it's time to reband and get sewing.<br />
<br />
What can be done <i>RIGHT NOW</i>?<span style="background-color: white;"><b> </b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Labels</b></span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I have a number of quilts that only need to have labels attached and they will be ready to go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Quilting</b></span></span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">This is the GREATEST area of need. It seems that we all love to piece, but not quilt - hence, there are MANY quilts that are ready for quilting.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">SQ has backing and batting - I just need quilters!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I so wish we had someone with access to a professional longarm setup and someone who could use it!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Ah ... to dream! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Blocks-to-Tops</b></span></span></span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">There is a pile of blocks to be made into quilt tops.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">SQ has some fabric for sashing, borders etc - but not a huge range.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Blocks</b></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">In its simplest form, a Snuggle Quilt is made up of 9 x 12<span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>" blocks. We've found this size to be manageable, quick to make and a nice size for <i>snuggling</i>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">Can you help?</span></b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">At the moment I can't host a sewing day as a large part of my house is 'packed up' and in a mess - we're in the middle of having our family room/kitchen/laundry floors resealed! Ugh!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>But </b>I DO have access to all the Snuggle Quilts supplies.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>If you are able to help, please contact me (email link via <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Angela</span> next to the About Me photo) and let me know what you are able to do.</b></span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqA51bXm5E62eBekuac5QuXYJFzD3ZkukTD0_5n3P6tagv2MQ99vTOeN3D-ve0E2tICHyBkv0bESQCMI0nBA9xQJ94Ei5Cb3xI3NqgE8MeZxXX9hfo2V6bNWW2XHOK7x89scvz-P_mzy03/s1600/43+060211.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="17" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqA51bXm5E62eBekuac5QuXYJFzD3ZkukTD0_5n3P6tagv2MQ99vTOeN3D-ve0E2tICHyBkv0bESQCMI0nBA9xQJ94Ei5Cb3xI3NqgE8MeZxXX9hfo2V6bNWW2XHOK7x89scvz-P_mzy03/s320/43+060211.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We started to work our way through the MANY sets of donated quilt blocks, matching them with sashing and backing fabric. Each <i>pack </i>can now be assembled, ready for quilting. Caroline took several completed quilt top/batting/backing sets to be quilted by a wonderful quilter who has a long-arm quilting maching. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div>To say I am thankful for this quilter's offer would be an <b>understatement</b>! There are many of us who are willing and eager to complete quilt tops, but finding <b><i>quilters </i></b>is my greatest challenge. <br />
<br />
There are still many blocks to be assembled, and I plan to have another get-together to continue making up quilt top packs. I think the <i>packs </i>are a great idea - all they need is to be sewn together - (hopefully) enabling the completion of many tops within a short period of time. At the moment I'm thinking of the 1st or 2nd weekend of the School Holidays (April 9th or 16th). I will keep you posted!<br />
<br />
Until then ...<br />

<br />
The number is overwhelming! <br />
<br />
I live in suburban Melbourne - NOT an area one would consider a flood zone - but our cellar is currently flooded. We live close to The Yarra River - it has a flood warning - as do so many of Victoria's waterways.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">With so many completted blocks and bits and pieces that can be made into quilts, we've decided to get together to package up blocks and sashing fabric to be sewn into quilt tops. These can then be picked up by and taken home whenever Snugglequilters are ready.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">We are also running very low on batting, and need to work out how we can acquire some more. </div><br />
<div style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><b>HERE is what we plan to do ...</b> </div><ol><li>Snuggle Quilts will meet to package up the materials needed for the quilt tops and quilting.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b style="color: magenta;">THIS COMING SUNDAY</b></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b style="color: #6aa84f;"> </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b style="color: #6aa84f;">February 6th</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b style="color: #3d85c6;">My house</b> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #e69138;">2pm</span></b></span></div><br />
I know this is very short notice - but we want to be able to hand out the packs so they can get started.</li>
<li>If you know anyone/group who might be willing to donate $ or batting ... ASK them if they could help out and let me know.</li>
<li>SEW<br />
<ul><li>If you need fabric ... Snuggle Quilts has a great stash ... come and get some.</li>
<li>Grab a pack and start putting a quilt top together.</li>

<br />
Queensland quilters helped us out after the Black Saturday fires - now it's our turn to help them. <br />
<br />
Snuggle Quilts have been quiet for some time ... it's time for us to get going again.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here's where we're at ...</b></span></div><ol><li>There are MANY finished quilt tops that need quilting.</li>
<li>We have enough completed blocks to make up (perhaps) 8 or 9 quilts - they just need sashing and borders.</li>
<li>Fabric donations have seen our stash grow to a bookcase-full - plenty for us to work with.</li>
<li>There are currently 2 ENORMOUS (and I'm not kidding here) rolls of (eiderdown) thick batting in my lounge room. It's too thick to use in our 'normal' quilts, but would be great in quilts with large blocks that had minimal quilting. </li>
</ol><b style="color: #8e7cc3;"><span style="font-size: large;">So ... I'm thinking ...</span></b><br />
<ul><li> I will organise a sewing/organising day at my place after school gets back.</li>
<li>If anyone is able to help out with 1 or 2 above <b>NOW</b>, let me know and we will get together what you need.</li>
<li>If anyone knows of someone who has a <b>professional</b> quilting setup and is willing to quilt for us - that would be sensational. Please let me know so I can contact them.</li>
</ul>I will post more information soon. <br />

<br />
But we ARE meeting on Saturday August 28th.<br />
<br />
If you are not on the email list, but you would like to join us on the 28th let me know and I'll give you the details.<br />

<br />
<div style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here's my current idea:</b></span></div><ul><li> Meet for the day at my place.<br />
Snuggle Quilts now possesses SO much fabric that I can no longer cart it around. At my place we have easy access to everything we need.</li>
<li>Come for as long as you are able, when you are able.<br />
If we meet between 10-4 then those who want to make a day of it can, and others can come and go. No pressure - just do what you can. You can even stay beyond 4 ... I'm not going anywhere!!!</li>
<li>Share morning/arvo tea and lunch.<br />
Chatting, eating and cuppas are VITAL to happy quilting.</li>
</ul><br />
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">What do I want to do on the day???</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
As I mentioned in the last post, Janet gave us a huge amount of fabric and quilt tops. All the finished quilts found homes in the Kinglake area in time for Christmas. My friend who distributed them said they brought much joy to their new families. <br />
<ul><li>#1 Priority<br />
What I still have are quilt tops sitting here waiting to be quilted. It would be wonderful if they could make their way to their new homes too. I have plenty of backing fabric so, on the day, we could baste to our heart's content.</li>
<li>#2 Priority<br />
Don't worry if you're like me, and not good at the 'quilting' part. There are an enormous number of blocks to be made into quilt tops. When we last me we sorted them into possible quilts - there are a lot of them! So, there is plenty of opportunity to sew.</li>
</ul><br />
<div style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Bring along:</span></b></div><ul><li> Any SQ quilts you are already working on or have finished.</li>
<li>Your quilting tools.</li>
<li>Basting pins - if you're going to take one to quilt (if we use our own pins on the quilts we're going to do, then we don't have to worry about returning them). No pins? No worries - we'll tack!</li>
<li>Food - for morning/arvo tea and lunch (whichever you're staying for).</li>
<li>Your sense of humour and willing to have a chat. ;-) </li>
</ul><br />
I so hope lots can make it. I loved the times we spent together last year - so let's keep it going ... there are lots of people who are still in need of a Snuggle!<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #cc0000;">Please </b>let me know if you're coming - so I can be prepared.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to grab something earlier, contact me and I'll get whatever you need to you.<br />

There was SO much, in fact, that I'm now having to completely rethink how I have all the Snuggle Quilt goodies stored at home - I have NO space left ... LOL!<br />

Due to end of year craziness, we ended up having to meet before the Snuggle Quilts meeting, at a Spotlight carpark halfway-ish between our houses. I must admit we must have been quite a sight having our 'clandestine' meeting in the corner, unloading bags and boxes of quilts and fabric!<br />
<br />
I've taken photos of everything Janet gave us, but ... it's Christmas ... and my focus tonight is on getting quilts ready to go to their new homes. What I wanted to do is show you the wonderful finished quilts that will go home, and the tops we aim to have quilted asap.<br />
<br />
THANK YOU Janet and your band of quilters - these are just amazing.<br />

To say their answer was 'yes' would be an understatement - they took the challenge by the horns!.<br /><br />Using blocks and fabric I had been given, and adding their own touches, they produced fabulous quilts. These photos were taken at a Quilt Hanging to support the Cancer Council's Biggest Morning Tea (http://www.biggestmorningtea.com.au/</span>).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2hA6lj1gTWj8fUfbdShL65T_ZP01lbANCTQjPHwAADkzf64D9BX0LMHJQnfH9adujYMDeVrDFlyWTFFdyyGq-CPYzq8EElI6pXLHRs7O7Tr_2DIOydJzPnsV0gpkcv6W0lvtPNkMlHf5/s1600-h/38+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

When I tell people I'm 'basting the quilt sandwich' I've had some rather odd reactions.<br /><br />Yes, basting is what you do to a chook as it roasts ... preparing it to be devoured by a hungry mob ... but that's where the similarity ends! Quilt basting is where you join the quilt 'sandwich' together.<br /><br />'The sandwich!' I hear you saying, ' ... is that to keep up the energy levels as you quilt?' Well ... yes, quilters are known for their preoccupation with yummy snacks as they work ... but the Quilt Sandwich is the 3 layers that make up the quilt - backing, batting and quilt top. They are carefully laid out, held in place (so they don't move around) and then joined together with either safety pins or cotton tacking (the large stitches kind, not the metal ones put into wood).<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhI4gUJEmYWih78n2IqRzvOPGqMR7QDH3gJbGHQntLfFcOuZpWoeb0O0iiSU7QCaA3181ezKCdU6bIRSg4UMqTiaf7pMB5CsbWvEEz7YhH_ZtaZ4lvidGAsD-b0adr0q5n2rhUtqqsBlM8/s1600-h/35+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 328px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhI4gUJEmYWih78n2IqRzvOPGqMR7QDH3gJbGHQntLfFcOuZpWoeb0O0iiSU7QCaA3181ezKCdU6bIRSg4UMqTiaf7pMB5CsbWvEEz7YhH_ZtaZ4lvidGAsD-b0adr0q5n2rhUtqqsBlM8/s400/35+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365272905585976530" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">The quilt sandwich - held in place by masking tape and large clips - ready to be pinned.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTejCXPYiYgZm3ootcXJ8fTdVYpEkyHB4dv-NiBNK3qpuSUM7ggfX9ljekxn6tKORobDZrTYQKMosfiQakoE63Zxg-fxvVV5JQSW0co0IDMWlS3HDAyeBKh5bOarOAwDqLHDOswu8fo4_a/s1600-h/35+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 289px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTejCXPYiYgZm3ootcXJ8fTdVYpEkyHB4dv-NiBNK3qpuSUM7ggfX9ljekxn6tKORobDZrTYQKMosfiQakoE63Zxg-fxvVV5JQSW0co0IDMWlS3HDAyeBKh5bOarOAwDqLHDOswu8fo4_a/s400/35+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365273042291732962" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">William supervising - to make sure I do it properly!<br /><br /></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;">Phew!

Sorry about that.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Snugglequilters have been VERY busy trying to get as many quilts finished as possible. Next Saturday we are meeting at the College for afternoon tea. The plan is to meet fellow Snugglequilters, have a chat, check out the quilts completed so far and get an idea of how to organise the ongoing 'life' of Snuggle Quilts.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">If we manage to finish 'all' the quilts currently being worked on, next weekend I'll be able to display 72 quilts ... that's right ... 72!!! That is just amazing. I set out on this journey to make 17 quilts ... and now we have 72 ... in 14 weeks ... just incredible! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I also have MORE blocks and fabric to be made into quilts ... perhaps another 30.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I'm not waiting for them 'all' to be finished, because I want to get as many out into the community as I can, as soon as possible. Winter hit us suddenly down here ... our Autumn was brief. As cold as it is down here in the city (where I live), it's MUCH colder up the mountain. Even at Easter the cold was 'falling' in Kinglake by 4 in the afternoon - now it's freezing at night. Without the 'warm' buffer of the tree canopy, I'm betting on more snow this year ... and there are people living in caravans on their property. I can only imagine how cold that must be. SO ... the more quilts we can get to people to snuggle under asap, the better.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I'm really hoping Snuggle Quilts will continue on, beyond our current quest.

I'm sitting here waiting to meet my daughter and her fiance at an engagement party. We have friends and their 4 month old baby staying with us, and have just returned from a great time of fellowship at our Church. Yes, there's a HEAP of work to be done (as always) ... but ... what a joy today is for us.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />It's easy for me to be joyful ... but it's also a day for thinking of others - especially those in our wider community affected by the fires. How would I be feeling if I'd lost my home? ... my job? ... my family? How would I be feeling if I'd been terrified by that ferociously powerful 'thing' that struck on Black Saturday? I have NO idea!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Last Friday Wayne and I met friends at the burnt-out remains of their home in Bald Spur Rd, Kinglake. I'd seen photos. I'd heard the stories. But I wasn't prepared for what was there. I didn't know where I was. I know the road - but the landmarks that guided me were gone. I thought I knew the 'lie of the land' ... but I'd never seen its 'real' shape before. I didn't know it. Their home had always seemed such a long way down the road - but we were 'there' in no time. We saw their car almost immediately we entered the road </span><span style="font-family:arial;">- there was no dense forest around us to slow our path.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />The thing that struck me the most was how 'naked' it all seemed. There was nothing ... NOTHING ... beneath the trees ... for as far as the eye could see. Just black towering sticks above the vacant earth. The home was twisted, crippled rubble. </span><span style="font-family:arial;"> The silence was deafening. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Glass from the windows lay on the bricks where it had melted into blobs. Only the fireplace was still intact - where I had sat drinking red wine, shamelessly teasing and laughing with our friends. We'll still do that again ... but not at that hearth.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As the late afternoon 'Kinglake fog' descended, blanketing everything with its eerie presence, we walked the street where so many had perished, stopping to pay our respect at a home where cups of tea had been shared on the brick patio, beneath the vines, surrounded by a garden filled with vegetables and flowers. The paradise had gone - but not the memories - they were as clear as if it were yesterday.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />We were startled by bird calls - but there wasn't a tree with a leaf on its branches in sight. We spied the crimson rosellas nearby - their vivid colour an amazing sight on the blackened branches, surrounded by the fog. A feeding station had been set up ... they were 'back'. As we looked down we saw other life returning. Bulbs were poking their way through the burnt earth. Trees were sprouting - the grey-green of new gum growth looking like 'fluff' on the blackened trunks. Fungus was growing in the earth around the burnt, old, fallen logs. The ivy, oxalis and </span><span style="font-family:arial;">agapanthus were sprouting (no wonder we can't get rid of them!), as was the pineapple sage, pelargoniums and aquilegia. From the depths of death and despair there emerged new life.<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />I was staring at the Easter story.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">At times like this we're so blessed to know the love of God and His promise for our future. There will be pain, and suffering, and despair - but new life is close by.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj28wC7b60w58D1SmdOIgf-rk5k745dbaeJ1vheJM_RsUBFfwxaj33KYTEyT4LoS9wJm52-itA6boWmns9WDK1aHnJdo52zPS-mEsNUEVlqS2kkQGF9zkAo1nN4KywTeoYKiFGsMIhfuzr9/s1600-h/27+3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj28wC7b60w58D1SmdOIgf-rk5k745dbaeJ1vheJM_RsUBFfwxaj33KYTEyT4LoS9wJm52-itA6boWmns9WDK1aHnJdo52zPS-mEsNUEVlqS2kkQGF9zkAo1nN4KywTeoYKiFGsMIhfuzr9/s400/27+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324171062265903138" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">A xo<br /></span>Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13750153022226294683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271245089796988668.post-89020767432150942742009-04-11T00:07:00.006+10:002009-05-24T19:12:32.696+10:00My fabric mountain<span style="font-family:arial;">Just thought I'd let you know what ALL that gorgeous fabric looks like when it's waiting to be washed ...<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;">... a fabric MOUNTAIN!<br />...
