20th September

I have been very slow getting this post up, but better late than never, don't you think?

Since last meeting we donated 11 lap quilts, 1 shawl and 10 beanies to the Palliative Care Unit at Concord Hospital; and 12 children’s quilts and 7 beanies were taken to Ronald McDonald House.

We had a thank you letter from Massey Park Golf Club Women’s Committee advising us that the quilt we donated to their Charity Day was part of a raffle.  A total of $16,100 was raised on that day.  Great work!!

We also received two children’s quilt tops and 2 pieces of backing from Daphne from Wodonga.  Daphne was kind enough to donate a number of quilt tops earlier this year.  I'll show you this latest batch when they have been completed.

First up I want to show you some of the quilts that have been finished off, part of the donation from the lovely ladies at Shepparton (remember they donated 35 quilt tops in June??)

Look at the interesting design on this one made by Robin.  I thought at first she had used a wedge ruler, but I think she has just cut random wedges.

 

Cheryl has made the next two quilts.

 

Jan brought in two quilts.  One with cute animal shapes made with hexies....

 

 

.....and this rainbow quilt - all appliqued

 

And lastly, Jill made this one.
