November 6th

We had a great meeting last week, with a huge number of quilts coming in completed.  I think we all wanted to clear the decks before the summer break.

We will be sending one of our members to represent Stitching Hearts at the Canada Bay Club grants presentation.

A delivery was made to We Care Connect.  As always the volunteers there, pounced on our quilts with glee.  This organisation will be co-ordinating a Back to School campaign in the New Year.

We have had some Thank You cards printed for distribution to all the lovely people who take the time to donate so generously to us.  These were handed out for delivery.

The ladies from the Trinity Grammar School sewing group sent in 17 quilts today.  Thank you ladies! Awesome effort, and your lovely quilts will surely make someone very happy.

These next two were made by Sue from Friday Quilters:

Love these cute bears. Don't you?

And here are the knits.  Lots of lovely bright colours in today's lot.

And an adorable Tommy Tippy giraffe.  All soft and squishy!  He is guarding a couple of cute cardigans and a stack of baby wraps.

That's it folks for today.  38 quilts brought in today, plus all the woollen items.  I hope I got all the photos in.  There was something going on with Blogger today and it wouldn't let me add photos to this post,  I had to go to my phone to do that, and then got terribly muddled with what was in and what wasn't.

See you soon for the last meeting of the year.....

3rd October

A number of people away this meeting, but we still managed a good crop of quilts, and a lot of chatter.

We delivered a bundle of quilts to Greenwich Hospital Palliative Care unit.  We hadn't donated any there for quite a while, and they were delighted to receive the quilts.

A lovely email was tabled.  It was from a lady whose father had been the recipient of a quilt from us while in Concord Hospital.  It is such a joy to receive a thank you like that - it makes our efforts worthwhile.

One of our members attended a Presentation Day at the Canada Bay Club at which our group were presented with a very welcome cheque.  We are grateful for the support we get from such organisations.  Without the grants, we would not be able to function.

Helen D has donated a bundle of quilts - they need to be completed, so you will see them in coming weeks.

The ladies at the Hobbysew Group have donated a number of quilts.  Thank you ladies!

This next one was a donation from Toni

And this one was made by Cheryl from Friday Quilters

The rest were made by our members.  Aren't they a talented bunch?

That's it for today.  See you next time.
