Second October Meeting

Another productive meeting with a number of donations today.

The lovely ladies from Shepparton Quilters are doing us proud.   The first two quilts are from Betty S:

And no.  I haven't made a mistake.  This one is a twin to one I posted from the last meeting.

This one was made by Barb.  Just look at the gorgeous embroidery on it.  I have included a close up of just one of the stitcheries below it.

And this is the work of Lynn:

Cheryl from Friday Quilters has donated a couple of tops too:

A big thank you to all these ladies for their generous donations.

A close up of the sweet little prints from the above quilt.

That's the lot.  Thanks for stopping by and supporting us.

1st October

Jan & Dasha reported that 11 quilts had been taken to Kara Women’s & Children's refuge, together with booties and baby flannel wraps.  And 12 lap quilts were taken to Elsie's Retreat, the new Palliative Care Unit at Gosford Hospital.  Both organisations were appreciative.

Roslyn has picked up 1000 more labels from the fabulous crew at CBon Screen Printing.

We have had news that we have a new sponsor!!  Club Five Dock RSL has been generous in providing us with a Community Grant.  Woo Hoo!  This will allow us to purchase some more rolls of wadding, which of course means more quilts can be made. 

I will open the show and tell with an absolutely gorgeous quilt made by Betty from Shepparton Quilters:

The cute little booties were made by Robin's friend from QuiltNSW, Cathy W. 

This School House block quilt was made from blocks made by several members of the group (sorry, I am not sure who participated - it was rather a long time ago).  Completed by Dasha and quilted by Robin.

What a fun kid's quilt this is!

Bye for now.

Second Meeting for September

Most of our members were at the meeting again, so much chatter at the lunch table!  

During the week I came across a lovely article about our group written by Concord Rotary in their Newsletter for August.  If you are interested in reading it, you will find it by clicking here. The article itself is on page 3 and has photos of a couple of quilts we donated for their fundraising events.

We also have a new supply of labels, thanks to the fabulous team at CBon Screen Printing.  You can click on the link to see what they do.  Thanks guys!!

We have all been sewing up a storm these past few weeks and the results are awesome.  Here are some photos of the floor at the hall covered in quilts.  Some aren't complete, so they will feature in future posts.

The next two were made by Robin's friend Maralyn and donated to the group.

The next three are made with fun novelty prints.  The first is a circus theme: 

This one is a toy shop....

And here is a bundle of cats.....

Next two photos are of little flannel baby wraps.

And this one has dozens of appliqued birds on it. (and a little kitty - can you spot it?)

Last, but not least, a bunch of beanies, and some cute little baby booties.

That's the lot for today.  Come visit us again.
