Second June Meeting

Helen has taken a quilt for EmpowerAbility, Windsor to raffle. This is an organisation that provides help to people with a disability.  You can see some of the amazing things they do by clicking on the link above.

Maria attended the St. Patrick’s Church Mortlake Dinner last week and took this lovely photo of the young lady who won the quilt we donated to the fund raiser. I think the grin say it all!

Lesley has taken 12 quilts to Legacy which they will hand out on their weekly visits to nursing homes.

Colleen has taken 3 scarves and 8 beanies for St. Patrick’s College Strathfield “Night Patrol” for the homeless people.

Quite a few lovely quilts came in this week.  Here they are in no particular order:

Helen has crocheted some lovely beanies.  That one with the flower is so cute!

 

She also made a raggedy cot quilt from flannel.

 

And some flannel baby wraps:

 

 

We had a donation of these knitted beanies from the ladies at St Paul's Church in Kincumber.

 

Jill completed a couple of projects started by Darleen.

 

She also made this sweet little cot quilt.

 

 

Evelyn quilted this quilt, made by Jill

 

And made this one too:

 

 

Maria quilted a couple of quilts.  This one was made by Jill

 

This one was a Disappearing 9 Patch.  The blocks were made absolutely ages ago at a sewing day at one of our meetings by several of our members.  Dasha put it together and Maria quilted it.

Maria also made the next 3 quilts.

 

Maria also brought in a lovely quilt made by her friend Mary.  Mary has donated quite a few quilts to us.  Thank you Mary for your generosity.

 

 

Jan has made the next 3 quilts.

 

Roslyn made 2 little flannel wraps.

 

And Anne made this little flannel wrap.

 

6th June

Edited 23/06/2019 to correctly attribute a quilt.

Alys from Cara Care came today to present us with a certificate of thanks for the quilt we gave them for their Ball in May. It was auctioned on the night and the gentleman who bought it paid $300. Alys said he was very pleased with it and had the biggest grin on his face all night.

A raffle quilt has been donated to the Palliative Care Concord Hospital and also one to the Cabarita Mortlake Preschool.   The one we donated to Concord West Rhodes Preschool will be put up as a wall hanging in their “chat corner”. The Director asked for a photo of our group, and asked if a few of the ladies would like to come for morning tea one day.

Evelyn reported that the quilt we gave to Concord Hospital for their Mother’s Day Raffle raised $1,680.

We had a very nice lunch at The Palace Hotel on Thursday 30^th May, there were 10 ladies attended. We decided to put in $10 each to be given to the Drought Relief at Crookwell C.W.A.

Kathleen York House, Legacy and Rivendell to be contact to see if they would like a quilt to raffle.
