Finishes in March

Our local Days for Girls group https://www.daysforgirls.org/ sews menstrual health kits for the organisation, and have a focus on a particular region in the Philippines.  We spent a couple of days this month making a few baby quilts for the local indigenous women in that area, as an added extra.  These women, if they go to the local hospital to give birth, are given one of the heavy flow menstruation kits when they return to their villages.  A quilt for their babies would be a nice extra.  So we've had a couple of good days of sewing to get a few in hand.

Here are my two this month.  Scraps from making the menstrual health kits as well as our own scraps in a simple column layout, bagged and quilted.  

Finished size: 30"x 34"

               

I have been busy with other sewing and will reveal all soon!  Here's a taste.  

March 2024 fabric tally

Finishes this month:    baby quilts x 2  = 2.5 m 

Purchases this month:  I bought a 0.3 m piece of Japanese lawn at a market stall - so pretty, but was quite strong otherwise, and resisted temptation.  I will be in the USA in April, and plan to fill a suitcase with fabric at their great prices.  

Fabric used:  - 2.5 m         Fabric acquired:  + 0.3 m

Running tally:  - 9.0m
