April Fool

I have always wanted to say that!! Ha ha.  The meeting was no joke though.  

A quilt has been delivered to St Patrick's Church, Mortlake to be raffled at a dinner on the 30th April as a fund raiser for a disabled car for one of the parishioners. 

A couple of members have made up eye masks which will be going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

15 quilts, 3 beanies and 9 scarves were taken to St Mary's Villa last week.  We hadn't given them quilts for a while and this lot were received very enthusiastically.  We decided we should give them some more as they become available.

We decided that we should give some more quilts to Kara Women's and Children's Shelter at Gosford, so 6 adult quilts were selected to be delivered next week.

As our meeting happened to be on the day before Easter, our lovely member Bev, who bakes for us almost every time we meet presented us with these gorgeous cupcakes.  Isn't she a gem?

The first quilt today was made by our friend Sue from Friday Quilters:

You could be forgiven for thinking that I was batty and am showing you 2 photos of the same quilt.  But look closely and you'll see that they are different.

And here are the last 3 (I think) quilts made from the blocks we all made earlier this year.

That's all for now.  See you next time.

Great Work Ladies

THIS IS A REPOST

I was warned by Blogger that this post had been deleted because it contravened the rules & regs.  (What??)  Then suddenly they informed me that it was restored, but in Draft format.  So I am reposting but it gets posted with today's date.  Sorry!

Every time I go to a meeting, I am amazed and inspired by the wonderful work the ladies do, and our last meeting was no exception.

We have been contacted by Cystic Fibrosis Australia requesting a quilt for raffle in fund raisers to be held in May and August.  We are hoping to invite a representative from that organisation to speak to us and to pick up the quilts. We agreed to give 1 quilt now - a red and white one, as that is their colours.

10 children’s quilts and knitted beanies and scarves & booties, to go to Ronald McDonald House. 11 laps to be stored for later.

And here are the lovely quilts which came today:

With this one, Bev rescued some orphan blocks which had been donated, added a couple more and completed the quilt:

A little collection of knitted scarves and baby booties:

A flannel quilt and some baby wraps:

Evelyn completed another Wonky Log Cabin quilt from blocks made by the members. These were so much fun to make, and a great use for bits and pieces from stash.  She still has 30 blocks left, so you will see another quilt in the next few weeks.

Wasn't it a great bunch of quilts today?
