2 October

Lovely meeting last week!  And a lot of business was covered.

2 quilts to be raffled have been given to Concord rotary for the fashion parade they are organising in conjunction with Gayle's Boutique on 25 October.  Proceeds will be donated to support the Parkinson's  Disease Centre, Concord Hospital.

Some time ago we donated a quilt for the Chiswick Manor Art Show.  We have received notice that this quilt raised $250. 

Since last meeting, we made a donation to Grace's Place and the Dandelion Network.  

One of our members attended a meeting of the Concord Rotary and spoke of what we do. Her talk was well received and the Rotarians were impressed by our productivity.

There were a lot of quilts and crocheted items brought in today.  

First up are 5 quilts made by our friends Robyn and Mary who donate to us regularly.  Thank you ladies!

The rest were made by our members.  A lovely spread.

And here are the woollens:

See you soon!

21st March

We received an appreciative email from the Dandelion Support Network who also acknowledged our donation on their website. They would love to receive some quilts for teenagers.

Our co-ordinator has contacted several schools in the local area.  Three of these would love a raffle quilt.  We also a raffle quilt to Concord Palliative Care Unit to be used as a fund raiser. 

Chiswick Manor published an article of appreciation for quilts given to recipients in their newsletter, as well as sending us a lovely Thank You card, with a Spotlight voucher enclosed.

The Monday Group have donated this adorable "doggy" quilt.  Aren't those little puppy faces just too cute?

Wattle Grove Quilters have also sent in a quilt for us:

And here is a quilt from Sue, of Friday Quilters:

There were a lot of I spy quilts brought in this time.  Always a favourite with our children's charities.

Last but not least, a beautifully crocheted shawl.

Enjoy the Easter break - don't eat too much chocolate!
