First Meeting for October

The first of our meetings in October was on the 5th.  We had a good roll up and lots of lovely quilts were brought in.

During the afternoon, Dale from Drummoyne Rotary Club dropped in for a visit  The club requires 3 quilts for up coming raffles, so we had a lovely time with Dale sorting through our nicest quilts for her. 

So without any further ado, here are the quilts:

The first two were made by Bev.  The first was a donated top, which Bev quilted.




This stunning panel was quilted by Evelyn.

 
Robin's effort:


 
Did you miss the cute novelties?  Here is a close up....



 
Robin also brought in a completed top donated by her friend Kaye G from Quilt NSW.  So generous of Kaye.
 
 
The next one is from Dasha.  It was a donation of the pieced centre, so it needed borders and to be quilted.
 
 
And here is another of Robin's quilts

 
Helen brought in a crocheted throw, several beanies and a scarf.


Next up was Cheryl with this cute baby panel....

 
And a quilt with the centre panel featuring horses.

 
Here is a close up of the centre.  Won't it be great for someone who loves riding?

 
That's all for today.

More September News

Our second meeting for the month of September was held on the 21st September. 

News this week is that Cheryl and Bev took 10 children's quilts, 18 laps, 10 single quilts and 4 scarves & 3 beanies to the Domestic Violence unit in Burwood.  What they can't use in that centre gets diverted to country centres and other places where required.

Jill took 10 children's quilts and 10 beanies to Ronald MacDonald House, and a raffle quilt to Concord Hospital which is raising money for their Aged Care unit.

Lots of lovely quilts came in today for me to share with you.

This first one is Bev's:
