Lots of discussion this meeting - mostly about wadding (the nice warm middle part of the quilt). We are always looking at how to source the best wadding at the best price and our current supplier is having supply issues. We go through so much of that, and a large proportion of our sponsorship money goes on purchasing it.
A delivery was made to We Care Connect. They are always so appreciative of our support.
One of our members has made some place mats for Life Skills Plus in Mudgee, a country town about 3 hours drive west of Sydney, which provides services to people with disabilities in Mudgee and surrounding villages. These have been delivered. We will approach them to see if they would like some quilts too.
The other topic was our annual Christmas donation to charity. We normally give a cash donation collected throughout the year in our "piggy" bank to a charity locally. We have decided to keep this year's donation back until we find a suitable charity. Instead we will be collecting clothes and other goodies for the Wayside Chapel - an inner city charity which cares for homeless.
We have a lovely bunch of quilts to show you this week:
Can you see the cute animals stitched onto the little beanies??
Those last beanies are so cute! Well done, ladies. ;^)
