Stationary Boxes

After much consideration and a little planning I have decided to make these stationary boxes to give to those affected by the fires. They will consist of handmade cards, notepaper, pens, gift tags, stamps etc.

This may not be something they are looking for right now, with the clean up and bear essentials being the immediate priority. But I felt in the coming months people may wish to send thank you notes, or just write down some thoughts and therefore these stationary boxes may come in handy.

Over the next few weeks I will be holding workshops to make some stationary boxes. At the workshops you will be given instructions for the box and then we will make up as many as we can. Below is an example one I have made.

If you are unable to come to any workshops but would like to contribute that would also be wonderful.
Other ways to help could include making some cards, boxes or other stationary at home and sending them to me. If you have some supplies we could use to make up sets and you would like to donate those please contact me.

My sister is also having a quilting bee in Ashburton Victoria on Saturday 21st March 2009 if you would like more details please visit here.
