March Meeting No. 2

I have been dying to call a post "The Ides of March" for years 😀 but frustratingly I have never quite managed it.  This year is no exception as we met on the 16th.

We had a visitor today - Helen P from the Monday Quilter's Group.  This group is always generous with their donations to us, and Helen brought two quilts from them with her today.  Thank you ladies.

The embroidered panels are from nursery rhymes, and are too cute!  Here is Miss Muffett.

Our friends Mary and Robyn donated 3 pretty quilts to our cause too.  

Sue E from Friday Quilters is another generous donor.  This is one of her quilts - thanks Sue!

That's it for today.  Thank you for visiting.

Autumn Already

First of March is nominated as the beginning of Autumn here in the Southern Hemisphere, but you certainly wouldn't know it.  Today, as I write this, the forecast is for +38C!  

Our last meeting was great fun.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it and there was lots of chat and laughter.  And some work of course.

We have been approached by the Rotary Club of Sydney with a request for a raffle quilt.  We haven't supported them before, but we do support a couple of local Rotary clubs, so we agreed to give them 2 quilts.

Great feedback received from two children's organisations we support - Archie's Army and We Care Connect.  Getting quilts to Archie's Army is difficult as they are based in Harden, 4 hours by road from Sydney, but we will continue to provide a few quilts now and then when we can get them to Harden.

Our first quilt is from Effie, who has donated to us before and now sews with the Monday Quilters

I generally show the knitteds first, but just in case you don't think they are an important part of our work, here they are at the top of the post!

Thanks for visiting.
