What am I working on this week? Something a little bit special...
Lisa from Big Little has launched The Hottie Project - an initiative to create lots and lots of hot water bottle covers to keep Christchurch children warm (and hopefully feeling a little bit fuzzy) this winter. You can find all the details here.
I think this is a really great project and totally worthwhile supporting, and there are several different ways you can help. If you're interested in making a hot water bottle cover, Lisa has put together a pattern and template - details on how to get it here. I had a bit of time before I got the template by email, so I had a go at making a hottie cover myself.

I had just spent some time sorting out my scraps, and decided to use some of my green and yellow scraps to make the quilted exterior.
This version is fully lined with some nice cheery fabric in matching tones.
I'm working on a second hottie cover - this time with a bit of free-motion quilting. I'm also working on a template for my version of the hottie cover and a tutorial - it should be up over the weekend if you want to check back then.
You can expect to see a few more of these in different colours over the next few weeks - its a quick fun project and perfect for using up scraps and practising new free motion quilting designs.
Will you join me in making a hottie cover for The Hottie Project?
