September

We agreed that our last meeting for 2022 would be on the 17th November.  We also decided on a date and venue  for the end of year lunch, which will be on Thursday 24th November 2022.

Quilts have been dropped off to Mission Australia who were very appreciative.

A number of children's quilts, tee-shirts and knitted items were delivered to We Care Connect.  The photo below is at their Wyong warehouse.


Our lovely supporters have been generous again!  This first one is from Sue at Friday Quilters


This one was donated by Lou.  Just in case you hadn't noticed, these are fabric strips sewn together in rows.  Some are just a 1/4" wide.  Awesome effort Lou!


You might remember me mentioning a large donation from Shepparton Quilters earlier this year.  This is one from that batch, made by Sue D.

The rest were brought in by our members.




The next two were made up from some blocks which came in with a donation some time ago.  This one has the cutest embroidery on each block.



This one was a bunch of blocks which had been appliqued to the background.  Each block has tiny enhancements - bees on the bee hive; apples in the tree, lady bugs in the shrubs and loads of ribbon flowers.  It is stunning!









These two are simple throws made with commercially quilted fabric.  


 Thanks for visiting, and see you next month.

First Day of Spring

We selected 2 quilts to be given to the Concord Rotary club for their end of year fund raiser.  

The money donated by our members during the year has been passed on to the appeal for the Lismore flood victims.

A lovely selection of quilts were brought in today.

The first cab off the rank was made by Raelene from Friday Quilters:


The next four were made by the ladies of the Trinity Grammar craft group.  I just love to see the same quilt made by different people.  It's fun to see the different colour choices and the effect that creates.






This is a lovely warm crocheted rug.


And here are the rest of the completed quilts which were brought in.
