May

I was so late with my last post that the next meeting was upon me.  So I have combined the photos from both May meetings and am reporting them together.  Apologies!

Dooley's Catholic Club at Lidcombe, have very generously given us a grant.  Very welcome indeed as our funds were running low, and so was the wadding!  So this will enable us to get our stocks of wadding up to a reasonable level

We delivered a bundle of quilts to Mission Australia for their work with domestic violence victims.

Sydney Holy Flames Church on Majors Bay Road, Concord are having a fundraising event and requested a raffle quilt, which we were able to provide.  

We have also delivered a bundle of quilts to Meals on Wheels.  We haven't donated any there for a long time, so they were delighted to receive the new batch.

Here are the quilts which have come in this month.  First up 2 quilts from ladies at Friday Quilters.  Both have been very generous with their time in the past.  Thank you ladies.

Lyn made this,

And Cheryl, this one

Our spin off group, Monday Quilters, made the next two quilts.  They are both beautifully stitched applique and embellished with embroidery.  I just love those rabbits!

This quilt was stunning.  Very effect 2 colour quilt.

There were a lot of woollen items came in - beanies, scarves and booties, flannelette baby wraps, and some dear little baby slippers. 

The next two photos are not of the same quilt!  Check out the top right hand corner - they are different on the two quilts.  LOL

Thanks for visiting, and if you got to the end of this post you deserve a gold medal. ;-)

May has 5 Thursdays, so my next post won't be until the beginning of June.  See you then.

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.
