Christmas Gathering

OK.  So I did say I wouldn't be doing a post until next year, but I really needed to share a couple of things with you all.

Last week we had a Christmas Gathering at the Sydney Rowing Club in Abbotsford.  What a gorgeous location!  Here are a couple of photos from that day.

This was the view....(that is Rhodes in the distance)

The ferry wharf is just down from the club, and this is the River Cat preparing to leave the wharf.

And with a whoosh it was gone...

We have received a Thank You from Murray Farm Public School.  Earlier this year we donated two quilts to the P&C for the raffle which was part of their major fund raiser.  The fund raiser  was hugely successful and raised $98,000 for the school.

The big bit of news though was the list of goods we had produced this year, which was distributed to us at our gathering.  We and our loyal band of helpers who donate quilts to us for distribution have done the following:
