15th October

Almost everyone was here on the 15th.  So good to see all the people who have been tripping around. 

Since the last report, we have made donations to Dandelion Support Network and We Care Connect.  

Quite a few completed quilts came in today for distribution.

The first two were donated to our group by Raema, a friend from Gosford:

And this one was made by Lyn from Friday Quilters

The table where the knits were was full!  Scarves, beanies, shawls, and a sweet little cardi for a baby.

That's it for today.  Next meeting is in November.

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!

February 6th

It's almost time for our next meeting and here I am reporting on the last one.  Better late than never I guess. I was away at the time of our last meeting, so that has seriously put me back.

After a bumper first meeting of the year in January, the first February meeting of the year is often quite small, but I have 23 quilts to show you plus a lot of knitted/crocheted items.  Well done ladies.

In the past few weeks we have made deliveries to Concord Palliative Care Unit, Dandelion Network, Keith's Closet, and Meals on Wheels.  All of these were accepted with much gratitude.

We also received a lovely thank you email.  Quoting part of it:

"You all do an amazing job and have put a smile on my parents face, so for that i say thank you kindly." 

As with most groups who donate quilts to charities, we don't often get an acknowledgement of our efforts, and when we do, it puts a smile on OUR faces!

Here is the quilt parade.

And all the woolens....

Thanks for popping in, see you next time.
