16 April

The meeting on the 16th was our second meeting for April.  We had an almost full house, which is always rather fun.  With everyone there, we always have lots of chatter and laughter.  Hard to concentrate on the business though :)

We had some lovely quilts brought in.

First up is one made by Lyn from Friday Quilters:

Here is the table of knitted and crocheted items:

And the quilts.....

5th March

Quite a few people were away, so it was a select few who met up last week.  It didn't affect the line up of great quilts though.

Since the last meeting we took some quilts to CABL, a support group for disadvantaged, vulnerable and at-risk members of the community in Sydney's inner west.  You can read a bit about what they do by clicking on this link.

And another bundle went to We Care Connect.  

Here are the quilts which came in this time.

The first 3 are donations from members of Friday Quilters.

And the rest were made by our members

That's it for now.  Thanks for popping in.

Last Post for 2025

Hard to believe that we are at the end of 2025!  It seems like just yesterday I was sitting here preparing to post the first blog for 2025.  Although we are meeting again this coming Thursday, that will be a purely social day - our Christmas lunch, so no post from that (I think).

Not as many members were able to come this time, and so there were far fewer quilts for me to showcase.  

We made a delivery to Concord Hospital Palliative Care Unit.

Three of our members have reported significant donations of quilt tops and fabric from friends and acquaintances.  These will hopefully be completed over the summer break, and brought in early next year.

We decided to use our piggy bank money to donate to Share the Dignity.  To find out more about this charity, click on the link.  We counted the money in the piggy and discovered that we had collected $120.  Not bad considering we emptied the pig mid year.

This first quilt was made by Sue from Friday Quilters:

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas break and see you next year.

November 6th

We had a great meeting last week, with a huge number of quilts coming in completed.  I think we all wanted to clear the decks before the summer break.

We will be sending one of our members to represent Stitching Hearts at the Canada Bay Club grants presentation.

A delivery was made to We Care Connect.  As always the volunteers there, pounced on our quilts with glee.  This organisation will be co-ordinating a Back to School campaign in the New Year.

We have had some Thank You cards printed for distribution to all the lovely people who take the time to donate so generously to us.  These were handed out for delivery.

The ladies from the Trinity Grammar School sewing group sent in 17 quilts today.  Thank you ladies! Awesome effort, and your lovely quilts will surely make someone very happy.

These next two were made by Sue from Friday Quilters:

Love these cute bears. Don't you?

And here are the knits.  Lots of lovely bright colours in today's lot.

And an adorable Tommy Tippy giraffe.  All soft and squishy!  He is guarding a couple of cute cardigans and a stack of baby wraps.

That's it folks for today.  38 quilts brought in today, plus all the woollen items.  I hope I got all the photos in.  There was something going on with Blogger today and it wouldn't let me add photos to this post,  I had to go to my phone to do that, and then got terribly muddled with what was in and what wasn't.

See you soon for the last meeting of the year.....
