As I mentioned in my previous post, the whole of Greater Sydney is in lockdown due to Covid-19 and has been for over 8 weeks now. However, for most of us, sewing is what is keeping us sane. We have arranged for a drop off "hub" where quilts can be dropped off for distribution. Those that are able to, have made use of this and as a result, Bev will be delivering a bundle of quilts to the Palliative Care Unit at Concord Hospital, possibly today.
The other bit of exciting news is that we were successful in our application for a grant from the City of Canada Bay Council, and also one from the Canterbury-Bankstown Council. Both of these councils are within our local distribution area, where most of our quilts go. Such good news as we will be able to replenish our supply of wadding.
Here are some of the delivered to the hub recently.
Wow, Dasha, what a lovely quilt show! Good to see you are finding an outlet for your creativity in lockdown. Great job to your and your friends.
ReplyDeleteLook how productive these quilters have been! And in such a time of trial and deprivation. I'm thankful there are people who are still being creative and caring for others, even in what feels like a time of worldwide war, if you know what I mean. Thank you for this cheery post!
