May 15th

We had to cancel our meeting on 1st May because we got advice that the centre where we meet had a power outage.  So today's meeting saw two meetings worth of quilts.  So inspiring to see the floor covered!

Although the last meeting was cancelled, several ladies who live locally, met for a chat and a cup of coffee.  They just happened to have a bundle of quilts with them, so they chose a some quilts to be donated to Chiswick Manor Car Community - these first three are to be auctioned at their fund raiser to be held shortly:

And this lot is for the residents:

You might remember me mentioning that we had given a quilt to the Drummoyne Pre School for their fund raiser a while back.  Well we received a delightful certificate of appreciation:

And here are the quilts which came in......

There were also a large bundle of lovely warm woollens.  They will be useful since the weather has turned and it has been cold, windy and very wet in the last week or so.

Thanks for making it through to the end of this post.

Bye for now, and see you soon.

 

Easter 2025

Our last meeting was on the Thursday before Easter, but due to the holidays I haven't had time to get this post up before today. 

We have made deliveries to the Concord Hospital Palliative Care Unit, We Care Connect and to Meals on Wheels since the last meeting.  One of the Meals on Wheels quilts went to a lady who is 104.  An unexpected gift for her birthday!

We have donated quilts to be raffled soon at two events locally.  The first is to a fund raising event called Biggest Morning Tea, to support Breast Cancer.  The second was to Chiswick Manor Care Community Art Show to be held on the 14th May.  The Art Show displays paintings done by the residents with the aid of their art teacher.  Proceeds to Parkinsons research.  More info on results when they come to hand.

There were a lot of quilts brought in this time.  The first 4 were donated by Lynn S.

The next two quilts were made by Sue from Friday Quilters.

Thank you ladies!  I am sure they will be well received.

So that's me for this time.  Hope you have enjoyed our little quilt show.
