7th November

Wow! What a line up today - there were 36 completed quilts brought in today plus a few other things too.  I don't know what our highest score is for a meeting, but this week there were almost as many quilts on the floor as we get after our summer break.

Last post, I reported that we had given a quilt to Concord Rotary for raffling to raise money for the Concord Hospital Parkinson's Disease Centre.  We have had news that the fashion parade raised $7,000 which is awesome.

We took in a bundle of quilts to the Palliative Care Unit at Concord Hospital, together with a lovely quilt for their silent auction.

The quilt we donated to the Drummoyne pre-school has raised $2,700 in their raffle.

We also heard back from Keith's Closet - a charity supporting those with mental health issues (click here to read a bit more about them).  They would be delighted to receive a few quilts, and in particular are in need of men's and women's clothing in large sizes.

We had quite a few quilts donated to us today.  Firstly, there were 9 quilts from the Trinity Grammar Quilters.  A special thank you to these ladies - they have given us 35 quilts this year.

Fabulous Effort ladies.  Thank you.

Another pair of ladies who have done an enormous amount for us this year are Robyn and Mary, who are part of the Hobbysew Group.  They have given us the following quilts today for our cause.

The last two quilts donated to us this week are from Gillian and Sue, from Friday Quilters.

Here are a pile of flannel wraps, and goodie bags.

And beanies and scarves.

The rest of these quilts were made by our members:

Our Next meeting will be our Christmas party, so unless there are some completed quilts to show you after that, the next post will be mid January.  So have a wonderful Christmas everyone, and see you next year.

Spring

Last week was the first meeting for September.  Most of our members were at the meeting, and consequently a huge number of quilts were on the floor.  Almost as many quilts which needed to be completed (I don't show those until they are done), as the ones photographed for this post.

Two of the organisations we give quilts to - Allowah and Dandelion Support Network have given us a shout out on their Facebook pages after our last delivery to them.  Do you do Facebook?  Do check out these two great organisations (and our page too!).

Apologies to the makers.  My photography was below standard and I have managed to chop the tops off quite a few quilts.

As usual, quite a few donations to our group from our supporters.  First two quilts are made by Robyn and Mary, who regularly give us quilts.

This one was made by Sue from Friday Quilters.

The next four were made by Toni and completed by our members.

There was a table full of sweet little baby booties, beanies for kids, flannel wraps, and a lovely scrappy shawl.

And lots more quilts.....

Thanks for visiting, and see you next time.
