Magical Lands for a magical gift

Saffron Craig - Friday, February 11, 2011
It has taken me a while to blog about the funds raised for the Queensland floods, for which the crafting community standing under the "pink umbrella" raised a whopping $99,089. How cool is that.

Elizabeth generously donated $500.00 for the Owl Nesting Quilt I auctioned for the cause, thanks Elizabeth! This is a picture of her store where it will soon live. I have been waiting for her to email me with her address and just learned she, being the lovely person that she is, had to help her daughter out and only arrived back at her shop a day or so ago. It's underway now!

We also raised $220.00 through our face book page with selling scrap packs on the shop now tab. So in total I managed to steer $720 towards the Flood Relief. Big thanks to everyone who contributed.



Ah yes, the magical gift.
Toni Coward from Make it Perfect and her sister Carli did a fab job getting this happening and asking people to join in to raise money for the flood auctions. All that book work, spread sheets and the 500 plus emails - jeez louise.

Amelia thought they deserved a special gift so she emailed me asking for Toni's favorite fabrics and in the too-ing and fro-ing my Magical Lands arrived. Yay, perfect. We both thought Toni might like them so I posted her the very first pieces for her and her sister Kate Conklin to play with; and play they did. 

So as a thank-you gift for Toni and Carli they made these two absolutely wonderful cushions from the new Magical Lands fabric. How nice is that?
