14 Projects in 2014 - in memory of Soulie

mrs-moneypenny

lovely little bags greentiger, where did you get the labels and what charity or cause are you sending the bags to once they are complete please. just thinking i have some nice fabric in my stash that may be suitable for those

Mrs- moneypenny, the charity is "Be Child Cancer Aware"
http://www.bechildcanceraware.org/

My bags will go to Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow - can't remember how I came by contact details for it.

There's a Beads of Courage tab with instructions and a list of hospitals and an address for sending them off. I notice they don't mention the labels at all.

More info on the US site http://www.beadsofcourage.org/

Link for labels - they came from Tucson, no postage charge, ordered online!

morning all
again those cards look lovely florenceem

bought a little kit at the carboot on sunday called a little watbo scissor keeper, started it yesterday and its lovely to stitch, i think it will look similar to a biscornu, you stitch 3 identical squares in a row then fold them and sew them up to make a 3 sided shape, its done on linen in a variety of stitches. it only cost 50p

Is this what you are stitching? Lovely and a great bargain

Thanks for the link for stitched cards, Florenceem. I've been for a gander and I've downloaded all the freebie patterns! And the font is installed on the computer now too!

Love the patriotic bunting, Kinski.

I finally got started on the bags for Beads of Courage and I have made 7- 4 red and 3 ted. I have still to put in the drawstrings. Since they sent 25 labels, I have another 18 to go.
