Second meeting for October 2018

With people away on holidays, and off sick, we were a small group on the 18th when we met.  But what a lovely day we had!

Firstly, Jill brought in a massive donation of gorgeous fabrics from Julie A, a long time friend of the group and supporter, although sadly, she never managed to come to our meetings.  It was difficult to get everything into the photo, so there are two, and even then it's not all she gave us.

What a generous donation!  We had a happy time sorting through all that and stashing it away.  Thank you Julie.

Only a few completed quilts came in today.  Helen has been away overseas for several meetings, but still managed to bring in two flannel wraps, and some beanies and scarves.

 

Bev made this one, quilted by Cheryl.

 

The gorgeous applique in the centre block was a donation some time back.  Jan completed it, added borders and Cheryl did a lovely job of quilting it.

 

Evelyn made this sweet little panel.

 

Colleen and I went through some of the fabrics donated today, where we found part of a layer cake; added a couple of more fabrics; and created this layout for Colleen to sew up.  Watch this space for an update!

 

We also selected 9 cot quilts to be given to Barnardos at Wyong.  Their focus is crisis care for 0 - 5 year olds.  Sadly there is a large turnover. 

Eagle eyes might have spotted a couple of the quilts that were brought in today, and also several from the lovely ladies in Shepparton.

That's it for today.  Our next meeting is this coming Thursday.
