Second July Meeting

Our meeting last week provided a lovely bundle of quilts.  You actually don't see many quilts made with orange fabric, and even fewer with yellow fabrics. In this bunch of quilts there are several orange ones and two yellow.

We made a delivery to Meals on Wheels since our last meeting.  We "top them up" quite regularly so that they can provide a quilt to any of their new customers.  They are really appreciated, since many of the customers don't receive a lot of gifts, let alone a gift from a complete stranger.

A raffle quilt was also delivered to Our Lady of Assumption church for a fund raiser.  We will find out in due course the amount raised.

With no further ado, here are the quilts brought in this week:

The first three quilts were made by Robyn D.  Thank you Robyn.  She is very generous with her time.

The next two quilts were made by ladies from Friday Quilters.  The first is from Sue:

And this one is by Lyn:

Some lovely scarves and beanies:

The rest of the quilts were made by our members.  I always find the variety of designs and colours very inspiring:

See you next time.

1st July

I am very late with posting about our last meeting, and the next one is later this week!

This is the haul from our meeting.  First up are the lovely woollies - scarves, a shawl and beanies:

And here are the quilts:

19th June

Very few of our members were able to come to this meeting, and consequently not many completed quilts were brought in.

·       Last meeting we decided to donate the money currently in our piggy bank to Backtrack, who are working in Taree with the recent Flood recovery.  As a result we sent that organisation $70.  We had also decided to give Greg, the owner of CBon Printing, a quilt for his family who have been affected by the flooding in Taree.  CBon have been doing a fantastic job of printing our labels for some years now.  

·       We made a delivery to Canterbury Hospital, who sent us a lovely email in appreciation. 

·       We also received news that Archies Army is winding down but will accept donations until the end of the year.          

      Here is the booty from today's meeting:

Bye for now....

Winter is Here!

Winter began officially here in Australia on the 1st June.  And interestingly enough in that week we went from lovely sunny Autumn days of 20C+ to cold wet weather.  How is it where you are?

The cold bleak weather didn't deter our members from turning up last week armed with a whole lot of lovely quilts. 

You might remember we donated a quilt for fund raising to the UCA Congregation recently.  They have advised us that the event raised $8000 and $2000 of that was sent to Taree to help with the flood relief.

We also decided to use the money raised so far this year in our piggy bank for the Taree flood victims too.

We had 22 completed quilts come in this meeting:

The first two were donated by Cheryl from Friday Quilters.

And these two were made by Sue from Friday Quilters.

There were some really interesting designs came in.  This one I found intriguing:

With the wintery weather we are having this table load of lovely woolies will be gratefully received, I am sure:

Til next time......
