17th October

Updated on 31/11/2019 to add some photos:

Katie from Legacy called in today to collect some quilts, they would like some more before we finish this year if possible.

Bev delivered a couple of fiddle quilts to Jacquie at Concord Palliative Care Unit.  They would be happy to get a few more as well as a few more quilts if possible.

Evelyn delivered a quilt to Peggy for Concord Hospital Volunteers Xmas Raffle, and a quilt to Concord Preschool for their Xmas raffle.
 
There are a lot of children’s quilts in cupboard at the moment so they and any brought in over the next couple of meetings will be delivered to Domestic Violence. All lap quilts will be divided between Palliative Care and Legacy.

Here are the quilts brought in this week:

First up are a few flannel wraps.

 

And lots of children's beanies and booties as well as some beanies for adults.

 

 

This quilt was made from dozens of tiny nine patch units which were donated to the group some weeks back.

 

 

This is the quilt we donated to Concord Preschool for their Christmas raffle.  Isn't it fantastic!

 

 

 

 

3rd October

Dale Larsen and 2 committee members of the Drummoyne Rotary Club, Lorraine Plant (Treasurer) and Nora Duane (President Elect) came to visit today.  Stitching Hearts has been supported by the Rotary Club for many years, going back to the early years of our little group.  Dale mentioned the Art Show Rotary Club organised in 2008 at which Stitching Hearts was invited to participate.  If you are interested, you can read about that Show here.

Robyn took some quilts to domestic violence, who were very happy with our donation.  Quilts are much appreciated as they bring life and colour to the rooms for the residents of the refuges.  We have been asked for flannel wraps 30 x 30 for Christmas, and for booties, crotched bonnets for babies.

Jeans for genes day thank you letter received for the quilt made by Jan.

Jill took 3 quilts for the Senior Citizens Christmas lunch lucky door prize gifts.

We have had a very generous donation from Susan and Shelly from Pittworth in Queensland, who saw the article published about us in the magazine a year or so back.  These two lovely ladies have made and posted 8 quilts to the group together with lovely letter.  All the quilts need quilting, so you will see them as we complete them.

The Parish of St Paul's, Kincumber have donated some beanies, crocheted lap rugs and a large bag of wool as well. 

Here are the completed quilts

 

The pretty soft colours don't show up too well in the photo, so here is a close up.

 

 

These lap rugs and beanies were donated to us by the knitters of the Parish of Kincumber.

 

The rest are flannel wraps.

 

These two above, and the last two were made with the cutest fabric!  Love the gingham kitties and the butterflies.
