Lockdown Stitching No. 2

 Hot on the heels of my last post where I showed you 29 quilts made by the members of Stitching Hearts, I have been advised by our "Chief Central Co-Ordinator" that more quilts have been delivered to our Hub for distribution. 

Good news is that Burwood RSL has notified us that they will be making a donation to our group.  Our deepest thanks go to that club for their support. 

Since my last update, there have been 24 quilts delivered to Concord Palliative Care Unit.  There is now a batch of 15 children's quilts which have been prepared for delivery to the CWA in Canberra for distribution down there.  We are currently investigating how to deliver them to Canberra.

These last two deliveries bring our total quilts distributed this year to:
·  227 quilts (including 7 large raffle quilts)
·  223 knitted and crocheted items and
·  16 eye masks
A really awesome effort for some challenging times.

And now for some Show and Tell



Here is a fun Puff Quilt.  I had great intentions of making one of those many years ago, but never got around to it.




Here are several tied quilts




And a batch of beanies, scarves and a shawl






The next two are made from blocks that all of the members made earlier this year.  I think these are the last two from that.
