September

We agreed that our last meeting for 2022 would be on the 17th November.  We also decided on a date and venue  for the end of year lunch, which will be on Thursday 24^th November 2022.

Quilts have been dropped off to Mission Australia who were very appreciative.

A number of children's quilts, tee-shirts and knitted items were delivered to We Care Connect.  The photo below is at their Wyong warehouse.

Our lovely supporters have been generous again!  This first one is from Sue at Friday Quilters

This one was donated by Lou.  Just in case you hadn't noticed, these are fabric strips sewn together in rows.  Some are just a 1/4" wide.  Awesome effort Lou!

You might remember me mentioning a large donation from Shepparton Quilters earlier this year.  This is one from that batch, made by Sue D.

The rest were brought in by our members.

The next two were made up from some blocks which came in with a donation some time ago.  This one has the cutest embroidery on each block.

This one was a bunch of blocks which had been appliqued to the background.  Each block has tiny enhancements - bees on the bee hive; apples in the tree, lady bugs in the shrubs and loads of ribbon flowers.  It is stunning!

These two are simple throws made with commercially quilted fabric.  

 Thanks for visiting, and see you next month.

First Day of Spring

We selected 2 quilts to be given to the Concord Rotary club for their end of year fund raiser.  

The money donated by our members during the year has been passed on to the appeal for the Lismore flood victims.

A lovely selection of quilts were brought in today.

The first cab off the rank was made by Raelene from Friday Quilters:

The next four were made by the ladies of the Trinity Grammar craft group.  I just love to see the same quilt made by different people.  It's fun to see the different colour choices and the effect that creates.

This is a lovely warm crocheted rug.

And here are the rest of the completed quilts which were brought in.

Second Meeting for August

A small group met today.  There were 6 members away for a variety of reasons, mostly holidays, but the clever ladies who were there still managed a lovely crop of quilts.

Here are the completed quilts which were brought in:

There is a small band of ladies headed by one of our members called the Monday Group. Each of these ladies have participated in making this pretty little Teddy Quilt which they have very generously donated to us.

4th August

Well I have been very slow getting this post up, but I do have an excuse.  I left my camera at the Centre after the last meeting and only managed to collect it yesterday.  Better late than never as they say.

Here are the goodies which were brought in:

Look at these cute houses!  Aren't they just fabulous?

This one is a donation from one of the lovely Shapparton ladies, Jan D.  The quilt is a Beatrix Potter story, so a bedtime story and a quilt in one.

The technique used for the next quilt is called Convergence.  It was made popular by the very talented quilt designer Ricky Timms.  It is so clever!  If you want to try it, click here for a link to his webpage.  (We have no affiliation with that site)

And a lovely crop of knits.  This week, there's also some sweet children's tee-shirts.  They will go down well with the organisations we support.

Til next time....
