Easter 2025

Our last meeting was on the Thursday before Easter, but due to the holidays I haven't had time to get this post up before today. 

We have made deliveries to the Concord Hospital Palliative Care Unit, We Care Connect and to Meals on Wheels since the last meeting.  One of the Meals on Wheels quilts went to a lady who is 104.  An unexpected gift for her birthday!

We have donated quilts to be raffled soon at two events locally.  The first is to a fund raising event called Biggest Morning Tea, to support Breast Cancer.  The second was to Chiswick Manor Care Community Art Show to be held on the 14th May.  The Art Show displays paintings done by the residents with the aid of their art teacher.  Proceeds to Parkinsons research.  More info on results when they come to hand.

There were a lot of quilts brought in this time.  The first 4 were donated by Lynn S.

The next two quilts were made by Sue from Friday Quilters.

Thank you ladies!  I am sure they will be well received.

So that's me for this time.  Hope you have enjoyed our little quilt show.

20th March 2025

We had a good turn out for our meeting last week.  And of course some lovely quilts.  We all love making kids quilts, and there are some super cute ones this week.

The first two quilts are donations from Friday Quilters.  The first one was made by Raelene: 

And this one was made by Sue:

This one is made of flannel, and it is so soft and cuddly:

I absolutely adore these owls.  Don't you?

And what about these Spotty dogs?  Aren't they adorable?

And here are the woollens.

Bits of this shawl were visible in the other photos, but I thought it deserved a photo of it own.  Helen unpicked a bundle of wonky knitted squares which couldn't be sewn together because they were all different sizes and then crocheted the bits together.  Oh the patience!   

Thanks for popping in.  I can't go to the next meeting, but there will be a post,  I have organised for photos to be taken.
