16th November

Our last meeting was also our last working meeting for 2023.  Hard to believe the year is gone!  Things are ramping up for Christmas, but we are all making time to gather for a Christmas lunch later this week.  No quilts to show then!  

We had a bumper crop of quilts turn up this meeting, so get ready for a feast of colour.

One of our supporters is the Trinity Grammar Quilters.  This is a group of mums, and mums of alumni from the school Trinity Grammar, and one of our members has been part of that group since it began in 2005.  Click here or on the name above to read more about the group. 

Trinity Grammar Quilters donated a bundle of 14 quilts this month!  Awesome effort ladies, thank you.














If you have been following our posts, you may remember me babbling on about using up some of the fabrics we have stored in the group cupboards.  Some of that fabric has been cut and made up into kits, and the first of these are complete.  You will be seeing a few more over the next months.


One of our members made up a kit; she liked the pattern so much she put this quilt together with her own fabrics, and a bit of a variation to the design.  I love it!


And the next two were kits made up from our children's novelty fabrics.  You would have seen lots of these as they have been coming in a few at a time throughout the year.









And here is a bundle of bags, children's t-shirts and beanies.




'Til next time.....

First November Meeting

Our meeting last week was the second last working meeting for this year.  Hard to believe that it will be time to plan Christmas soon.

Lots of wonderful quilts came in as well as other goodies for us to distribute to those doing it tough.  

Quilts included donated ones from two Lyns.  This first one is from Lyn H of Shepparton Quilters, who has made heaps of quilts for us. Thank you Lyn H.


And this one was made by Lyn L from Friday Quilters.

















Just take a look at this loaded table of goodies!


Beanies, booties, and bags...


Flannel wraps and more bags...


T-shirts, more flannel wraps and other children's clothing.


Hope you have enjoyed this little lot.

Bye for now,
