Wow! What a line up today - there were 36 completed quilts brought in today plus a few other things too.  I don't know what our highest score is for a meeting, but this week there were almost as many quilts on the floor as we get after our summer break.

Last post, I reported that we had given a quilt to Concord Rotary for raffling to raise money for the Concord Hospital Parkinson's Disease Centre.  We have had news that the fashion parade raised $7,000 which is awesome.

We took in a bundle of quilts to the Palliative Care Unit at Concord Hospital, together with a lovely quilt for their silent auction.

The quilt we donated to the Drummoyne pre-school has raised $2,700 in their raffle.

We also heard back from Keith's Closet - a charity supporting those with mental health issues (click here to read a bit more about them).  They would be delighted to receive a few quilts, and in particular are in need of men's and women's clothing in large sizes.

We had quite a few quilts donated to us today.  Firstly, there were 9 quilts from the Trinity Grammar Quilters.  A special thank you to these ladies - they have given us 35 quilts this year.

Fabulous Effort ladies.  Thank you.

Another pair of ladies who have done an enormous amount for us this year are Robyn and Mary, who are part of the Hobbysew Group.  They have given us the following quilts today for our cause.

The last two quilts donated to us this week are from Gillian and Sue, from Friday Quilters.

Here are a pile of flannel wraps, and goodie bags.

And beanies and scarves.

The rest of these quilts were made by our members:

Our Next meeting will be our Christmas party, so unless there are some completed quilts to show you after that, the next post will be mid January.  So have a wonderful Christmas everyone, and see you next year.

Here we are almost at the end of the year.  People are putting up Halloween decorations everywhere.  Do you celebrate Halloween?

At our meeting last week many were away, but there was still a huge crop of lovely quilts.  26 of them to be precise and a bundle of crocheted items too.  But before I show them to you I wanted to share with you the lovely Thank You we received from the Meals on Wheels ladies.  We took a bundle of quilts to them to distribute amongst their clients, and they put the following up on their Facebook page:

We also donated a quilt to the Rotary Club of Concord to be used as a raffle quilt to raise funds for the Parkinson's Disease Centre at Concord Hospital.  The event is actually a Fashion Parade to be held in just a few days time.

Another quilt was given as a raffle quilt to a local kindergarten for their fund raiser too.

And now to the main event - the quilts!  Several donations were received this week.  Firstly 3 quilts from Heather D:

And a couple from the ladies in the Hobbysew Group:

And here are the rest....

Thanks for visiting.
