18th February

Lovely, happy meeting held last week, with a lot to report.

We agreed to donate a quilt to Domestic Violence NSW to be raffled at a special dinner to be held shortly.  We have also had an email from Domestic Violence NSW thanking us for our support and advising that our quilts are included in the Happy Home Project around the state. 

We donated a number of quilts to Greenwich Hospital Palliative Care Unit for the first time last week.  They were really well received, and the thank you letter received stated that they "have added warmth to rooms and given dignity and care to Patients".  It is truly lovely to have feedback like that from the recipients of our quilts.

The highlight or our day though was a visit to our group by our founding member Darleen, for afternoon tea.  She spoke of the earliest days of the group, which started in 2004, and commented that several members were still coming to meetings.  We donated 5 quilts to Milton Street House to be delivered by Darleen.

And here are the quilts we completed.  As has become the norm, we have had some donated ones.  A big thank you to these generous people.

This one is the first of two quilts donated by Caring Hearts Quilters.  


This one was made and given to us by the Trinity Grammar Quilting group:


And this one by Sue, one of our Friday Quilters friends:













See you next time!

Heaps of Quilts & Some Good News

This will be the second last post for the year - amazing to think that it is almost the end of 2020.  I don't think anyone will be sorry to see the back of it.

We had some wonderful news this week.  Dooley's Catholic Club at Lidcombe has made a generous donation towards our efforts.  We are always in search of funds for the big ticket items of wadding and backing fabric, and now we find our iron needs replacing.  A huge thank you to Dooley's for the donation.

Jill advised that 25 single bed quilts were delivered to Concord Palliative Care unit.  Quilts from today's meeting will go to Domestic Violence.

The first 3 quilts are from Betty S from Shepparton Quilters 




And this one is by Barb, also from Shepparton Quilters.


Thank you ladies for your continued support.

Terri from Wattlegrove Quilters made this pretty quilt


This one was made by Cheryl, from Friday Quilters.


And this one by Sue, also Friday Quilters.








Someone was having fun with Pansy fabrics.  If you look closely at the next three photos, you will see Pansies galore ☺


















And some flannel wraps for babies.  The elephants on the first one make me smile!







Last but not least, some cute knitted baby booties, crochetted beanies, scarves and a lovely shawl.





That's it for now.  See you in a couple of weeks.
