February 6th

It's almost time for our next meeting and here I am reporting on the last one.  Better late than never I guess. I was away at the time of our last meeting, so that has seriously put me back.

After a bumper first meeting of the year in January, the first February meeting of the year is often quite small, but I have 23 quilts to show you plus a lot of knitted/crocheted items.  Well done ladies.

In the past few weeks we have made deliveries to Concord Palliative Care Unit, Dandelion Network, Keith's Closet, and Meals on Wheels.  All of these were accepted with much gratitude.

We also received a lovely thank you email.  Quoting part of it:

"You all do an amazing job and have put a smile on my parents face, so for that i say thank you kindly." 

As with most groups who donate quilts to charities, we don't often get an acknowledgement of our efforts, and when we do, it puts a smile on OUR faces!

Here is the quilt parade.

And all the woolens....

Thanks for popping in, see you next time.

Hello 2025

As usual our first meeting of the year was huge.  There were 35 completed quilts brought in. Also a large bundle of crocheted items and some adorable booties.

We donated the money we had collected in our Piggy Bank in the second half of last year to Parkinson's Australia.  We like to change up the charity we support each year, and this was suggested by a couple of our members.

Also during the summer holiday period we bought in quite a few rolls of wadding, so we will be set for that for a couple of months.

Here are the quilts that came this time.  Lots are scrappy quilts (my favourites LOL).

That's the end of the quilts.  And here are all the lovely knits and crocheted items.  Just look at that cute duck.
