Second Meeting for February 2020

Bev dropped 7 quilts to Concord Palliative Care Unit, which were much appreciated.  We selected a few more today to be taken there.

Lesley reported that she and Cheryl attended a morning tea event at a nursing home in Georges Hall organised by Legacy.

We had some lovely feedback on a quilt which went to Concord Palliative Care Unit after our last meeting.  Remember this one?

 

A relative of the recipient saw our label on the back and sent a sweet message to let us know how much it is appreciated.   

There were a few quilts donated to us which came in today.  Firstly, our Friday Quilter friend Gillian gave us 4 completed quilts.  She has been generous enough to donate several quilts previously.  Thank you Gillian!

 

The next two quilts were donated ages ago as tops.  They have now been quilted and bound.  Sadly there is no record of where they came from.

 

This one came in a bundle of quilt tops from Susan and Shelley, from Pittsworth in Queensland a few months ago.  Also now quilted and bound.

And here are the rest of the bunch.

 

The colours in the borders of this next one were positively luminous and were a perfect match for the colours in the centre panel.  The photo doesn't do it justice.

 

This one had a cute village scene in the centre of the squares (see the close up in the next photo.

 

The next two were super cute - the feature fabric was a bunch of crazy monsters.  I had a real giggle photographing them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it.  Thanks for stopping by to see what we have done.

6th February

Hello there!

An update on the last post where I showed you this photo:

Evelyn took the quilt to Drummoyne Sailing Club to raffle at a fundraising evening for bushfire victims on 24^th January.  Subsequently, we received a delightful email from Kathy, the winner of the quilt, to thank us for it and saying how much she loves it.  It is fabulous to get feedback like that.    

Robin brought in a large bag of lovely fabrics, mostly children’s, as well as a number of children’s quilt tops donated by Quilt N.S.W.  They have been very generous with their donations to us.

Lesley delivered quilts to Legacy, and Bev 7 lap quilts to Concord Hospital's Palliative Care Unit as they were completely out of quilts.

As usual, a lot of lovely completed quilts came in this meeting.

First up was a pretty quilt, one of a number of tops donated by Susan and Shelly from Pittworth in Queensland, before Christmas.

 

 

And lastly, three little flannel wraps

Great work ladies.

A Massive Meeting

We had an absolutely enormous amount of things brought in to this meeting.  Just to give you an idea, here is the floor of the hall, almost completely covered in quilts.  I couldn't fit it all into one photo!
 

 

We had a lot of donations this week.  First up was a bundle of quilts generously donated to us by Wholly Quilts, Uniting Churches of Gosford for distribution as we saw fit. 

 

 

Also from the Central Coast, was a big donation from St Paul's Kincumber.  This included a bundle of dresses for little girls, bootees and beanies for babies and four beautifully crafted teddy bears.

 

 

There was also a large bag of toiletries parcelled up into pretty little draw string bags, which I forgot to photograph.

 

All of these, together with any other children's things will be taken by Cheryl to Domestic Violence this week.

Also from St Paul's Kincumber were two knitted blankets, and two woollen cot blankets.

 

 

Here are the rest of the quilts brought in today, in no particular order:

 

 

Some cute flannel wraps.

 

Another lovely quilt donated to us by Wattlegrove Quilters.

 

This quilt was made by one of our original members, Rema, and quilted by Bev.

 

And this one was made by the ladies of the Trinity Grammar School craft group and quilted by Evelyn.

 

 

And last of all, two more fiddle quilts for Concord Hospital Palliative Care Unit.

 

So that's all for today.  Hope you enjoyed all the lovely quilts.
