Fourth of July

The 4th July in the United States commemorates the Declaration of Independence of the United States in 1776.  In Australia it is not a holiday, and we had a busy day at Stitching Hearts. 

It was a long meeting starting with a visit by Katie Matthews from Legacy to speak  about their program.  She took 12 lap quilts and we will give her more as needed. We have been invited to attend a morning tea at Rhodes on 26th July. Lesley and Bev will represent the group.  Cheryl and Bev will be attending Grants Night at the Council Chambers, Drummoyne on Thursday 25th July.
Dasha took 11 baby wraps, 18 children’s quilts and 24 beanies for Barnardo’s at Wyong.  They will be delivered on Monday, 15th July.
 
Louise popped in to donate a bundle of wool and some half finished projects.  This was passed on to Helen. 
 
Maria brought in 3 quilts made by her friend Robyn.  Robyn is very generous and has made a lot of quilts for us.  It would be lovely to meet her one day to thank her in person!

 
 
 
Helen made 5 beanies, and 5 flannel baby wraps.
 
 
 
 
 
Evelyn brought in 2 quilts she had made. 
 
 
 
Evelyn also quilted 2 quilts.  The first was made by Jill. The second one we think was a donation.
