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.

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.....

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.....
