The Missing Post

With all the things happening around here lately, the post from 16 July fell through the cracks.  No worries, here it is. Enjoy.

Lots of knits today too.

6th August

Our meeting last week was well attended, and judging by the number of quilts and woollen goodies brought in, our members were busy!

We have been advised that the Canterbury Leagues club have agreed to give us a grant.  Thank you!  It will be well used.

Drummoyne Public School fund raising auction went live online this week and the items to be auctioned include the 2 children’s quilts donated from us.  More on that as it unfolds.

Deliveries made to We Care Connect.  As usual, the quilts they received were eagerly accepted.

We also discussed the possibility of donating some of the woollen items we make to Youth Off the Streets.  We will need to arrange delivery of the items.

First in the quilt parade are the quilts donated by our followers. The first 3 quilts were made by Robyn:

And this one was donated by Sandra.

The rest were made by our members:

And loads of beanies and scarves, together with a bunch of bags.

That's it for now.  See you next time.

2nd July

Two of our members attended a function at Rotary Club of Concord earlier in the week and were presented with a donation from the club.  Thank you Rotary!  It will be used to purchase much needed wadding.  We go through an amazing amount of wadding and it is the most expensive component of our quilts.

A Lovely collection of quilts came in today.  The first two are to be donated to Drummoyne Public School to be raffled.  Top one is the "girls" quilt, the next one the "boys" quilt.

Next are two identical quilts made by Lyn from Friday Quilters:

And a full table of woolies

I was intrigued by the design of this quilt.  I have been staring at the photo for ages, and still can't make out the pattern.  It's very clever.
