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.

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.)
