First Meeting, March 2019

Lots of action happening this meeting, with most of our members present and a couple of visitors too.

Firstly Tania Chahoud the Family Educator from St Ambrose Primary School Concord West, came to talk to us about the outreach in which the School is involved.  This includes feeding the homeless, work with refugees and support for the Yaralla Women's Refuge.  We gave her several quilts for fund raising and agreed to supply the women at Yaralla with a quilt.

Then Dale Larsen from Rotary Club of Drummoyne spoke about Rotary's fundraising this year, and about the Christmas in July function to be held at Drummoyne Oval in conjunction with to Parkes Rotary Club to raise funds for drought relief.  Dale took a three quilts with her too.

Apart from these we selected a number of raffle quilts to be donated to various organisations including one each for Concord West Public School, Marie Bashir School, Strathfield, St. Patrick’s Church, Mortlake, Concord Hospital Volunteers, and 2 quilts for the C.W.A. Crookwell. 

There were heaps of completed quilts brought in today. 

First one made by Ann, quilted by Evelyn:

Ann also made a couple of flannel baby wraps.

Cheryl made the next three quilts

 

 

This one is a real group effort.  The blocks were a donation, put together by Evelyn and quilted by Robin.  Evelyn took it home to put binding on and once that is done, it will be one of those given to the ladies at the Crookwell CWA.

Evelyn made these next two quilts.

She also quilted this one, which was a donation from the ladies at the Trinity Grammar School craft group.

Helen made 8 flannel wraps for babies.

 

And a bundle of beanies and scarves.

 

Jill made the next two quilts (and no, I haven't doubled up on the photos!  Just similar fabrics and styles.)

 

 

 

She also made the next two, both quilted by Evelyn

 

 

 

And this one quilted by Cheryl

 

And that's all folks.  Awesome effort by everyone.

Playing Catch Up

I wasn't at our first February meeting, so a big thank you to Evelyn for taking the photos for me.  It was quite a small meeting, as a few others were away too. 

Here are the lovely quilts brought in that day.

First up are two lovely snuggly flannel cot quilts made by Helen.

Helen also made 17 beanies and a couple of knitted scarves.

Next two are by Robin. 

Jill made the next two.

 

This next one has been in the cupboard for a couple of years.  It was a donation only partly made, worked on by Pam and possibly Ann as well, completed by Dasha and quilted by Evelyn.  A real group effort.

This one was a top made by Kay H from Shepparton and quilted by Evelyn.

And lastly, a pretty one from Evelyn.

Well done ladies.

21st February

While the lovely ladies were hard at work at the last meeting, I was gadding about in Queensland, so Lesley very ably took the photos for that day.  Thank you Lesley.

We were contacted a few weeks ago by Roslyn R who wanted to donate some quilts.  She was able to come along to this meeting and enjoyed our little group so it seems she may come to some more of our meetings.

Maria brought in 2 beautiful finished quilts from her friends, Robyn and Mary. These ladies have donated a number of quilts as well as fabrics in the past.

A huge thank you to Roslyn, Robyn and Mary for their support of our group.  We will definitely be able to make use of these lovely donations.

First quilt today was made by Robin

This one was made by Sheryl from Shepparton.  Evelyn quilted it.

 

Ann made the next two quilts, quilted by Evelyn.

Helen made a handful of scarves and beanies

 

And also this little flannel baby wrap.

 

Roslyn donated these three gorgeous quilts made by her mother and completed by the Wattlegrove Quilters.

 

Lesley has appliqued the CaraCare logo onto some pillowcases.  We now have 13 of these ready to go to CaraCare

The next two lovely quilts were donated to our group by Maria's friends Robyn and Mary.
