6th August

Our meeting last week was well attended, and judging by the number of quilts and woollen goodies brought in, our members were busy!

We have been advised that the Canterbury Leagues club have agreed to give us a grant.  Thank you!  It will be well used.

Drummoyne Public School fund raising auction went live online this week and the items to be auctioned include the 2 children’s quilts donated from us.  More on that as it unfolds.

Deliveries made to We Care Connect.  As usual, the quilts they received were eagerly accepted.

We also discussed the possibility of donating some of the woollen items we make to Youth Off the Streets.  We will need to arrange delivery of the items.

First in the quilt parade are the quilts donated by our followers. The first 3 quilts were made by Robyn:

And this one was donated by Sandra.

The rest were made by our members:

And loads of beanies and scarves, together with a bunch of bags.

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

Hello 2026

Happy New Year lovely people.

Last Thursday was the first meeting of Stitching Hearts members for 2026.  It was lovely to catch up with those who came, and those who didn't were sorely missed.

Late last year, we donated some quilts to We Care Connect.  This organisation gave out Christmas parcels to over 4000 children in need in the Central Coast & Hunter regions.

One of our members showed us a photo of a friend in the palliative care unit who had been given one of our quilts.  These quilts give so much pleasure to the recipients!

Several members reported that they had received quilt tops over the Christmas break from friends for our group to complete.  Some have been brought in, but more will be arriving as they are completed.

Here is the quilt parade. Enjoy!

First up is a top donated to us from Dallas B.  

This one was made by Karen J's mother:

Robyn donated this:

Look at this great backing for the jungle quilt above.  Couldn't resist showing you that 😉

There were a few knits this week, and the cutest stuffed cat.

That's it folks.  See you next time.....
