November 4

Our first meeting at the end of October was huge, so I was astounded at how many quilts came in this week.  You had better have a cup of tea with you to read this post!

Firstly, Dale Larsen, from Drummoyne Rotary came to chat to us about the club's new initiative - a shop called Spinning Tales in Norton Street, Leichhardt, which is operated by volunteers, the profits from which goes to charities supported by Rotary.

24 quilts were to Concord Palliative Care Unit.  The quilts have been well received over the months, and we have received several lovely emails from relatives of recipients.

Domestic Violence are unable to accept quilts from us at present, so we will need to find another outlet.  It was suggested we look at the San Miguel Family Centre at North Richmond.

We have received a thank you note from Canberra CWA for quilts we have donated to them.  They have asked for a quilt to use at a fund raising auction.  This is the quilt which has been selected for that purpose:

We have made a decision that our next meeting will be the last working meeting for the year.  We will break after our Christmas party until mid January.

So without further ado, here are the completed quilts brought in today:

This first one was made from fabrics donated by Robin O from Berrima:

All the rest of the quilts were brought in by Maria, and were made during lockdown by Maria and her two friends Robin and Mary.  Thank you Robin and Mary!  Both of these ladies have been extremely generous with their donations to our group even though they are not officially members of the group.  

No.  I haven't made a mistake, this is a second quilt in this design.  (I did a double take too 😂)

See you next time.
