Big Day Today

We had a big day at our last meeting with lots of gorgeous quilts coming in.  

First part of the day was as always, lunch and the business bit. 

Quilts selected at the last meeting for delivery to Meals on Wheels, the Women's Refuge at North Strathfield, We Care Connect and Dandelion, have all been delivered and have been gratefully received.

We have received invitations to the presentation night at Canada Bay Council and the Rotary fund raising event.  We will send a representative from our group to both.

The first two quilts are donations from Shepparton Quilters and completed by our members.

This one was made by Jan D

And this one by Lynn H

This one was one of two made from a kit donated to us by Susan U from Queensland

And this one was from our friend Sue E. from Friday Quilters.

All of the rest of the quilts were made by our members.

Did you happen to think that was a print on the border fabric in the photo above?  Well if you did, you were wrong!  It is hand embroidery in a style called Sashiko.  Here is a close up of the embroidered border.

And as always there were a couple of crocheted shawls and the sweetest little pink baby jacket.

Bye for now, and thanks for visiting.
