Firstly the Senior Citizens Club where we meet has had a meeting with the Council last week with the view to reopening the Centre to normal activities. That means that it is looking like we will be able to have a "normal" meeting soon. Whoop whoop!! More on that as news filters through.
We have a new sponsor, which is exciting news. The Rotary Club of Concord has been kind enough to make a donation to our group. Very timely too, as we are almost out of wadding. Dasha (that's me) spoke to the Rotary meeting last night on Zoom about what we do, and we have had a really positive response to that. Isn't Zoom a terrific piece of technology? Do you use it?
Up to the end of last week we had delivered 160 quilts, with 10 crocheted scarves and 54 beanies since the beginning of the lockdown in early March. Absolutely astounding work ladies. We could not have done this without the generous donations of a number of ladies who are friends of our members - Maria's friends Mary and Robyn, Robin's friend Maralyn, and the Shepparton Quilters. All of these ladies have made a significant contribution to the total number of quilts we have donated.
We had a bundle of kids quilts waiting to be distributed, so Bev organised a delivery to Ronald MacDonald House last week. Among these were 12 quilts donated by Maria's friend Mary. I am not posting all these photos as 10 of them were exactly the same.....
There were 2 cute jungle prints.
5 little blue Pooh Bears....
And 5 pink ones......
Awesome effort Mary.
Bev also added two quilts like this,
And 12 little beanies.
Eight of these quilts were donated to us by Maria's friend Robyn.
Thank you Robyn.
Awesome work and donation!!
