Second August Meeting

Most of the group were present for this meeting, except me!  Evelyn and Lesley did a great job of photography for me so I could write this post.  Thank you ladies. 

We donated a quilt for the Massey Park Golf Club (Ladies Committee) for a silent auction on their fundraising day on Wednesday 29/8/18 to benefit Leichhardt Women’s Health Centre
Evelyn asked if we could give a couple of quilts to the Crookwell C.W.A. to be used as raffles to raise funds for the Drought Relief. She has taken 2 quilts - I have shown you them before, but these are the two:

 
We always make a donation to charity in lieu of Christmas gifts amongst our members, so this year we have decided to make the donation now and make our chosen charity the Drought Relief program.  Evelyn to co-ordinate that.
Since last meeting, Graham, a volunteer from Dandelion Support Network picked up 18 children’s quilts, 13 baby wraps and 15 beanies on 7/8/18. No thank you letter received as yet. The Dandelion Support Network accepts, sorts and safety checks children’s clothes and nursery items for families in need, through hospitals and support agencies.  They operate from Caringbah a suburb of Sydney.  To find out more about their work, click here.

Sadly, one of our newer members, Anne H announced that she is moving back to Brisbane so will no longer be coming.  Wishing you well in the future Anne.
Here are the completed quilts which came in today:
The first one was a donation from Lynn H, from Shepparton in Victoria:

The centre panel for this one was made by Wendy Williams, teacher at Material Obsession in Sydney.  Evelyn completed the quilt.
