Nancy Lashbrook from Coleambally NSW, donated the first 4 beautiful quilts which will be so welcomed by the people affected by the bushfires. Coleambally quilters have been long term supporters of Oz Comfort Quilts and our bushfire quilt drives and are very much appreciated.
Marie Errington from Qld sent this beautiful pastel floral quilt in blue.
Vikki Hope and her lovely Mum, Lauris, donated the following 7 tops, with backing and binding and a large piece of white fabric. They had also previously donated a roll of batting and their support is really appreciated.
This lovely retro top was one of Vikki's UFOs and it is such a happy top that I know it will be a much loved quilt. Thanks for finishing it off Vikki.
Wendy Byrne (Vic) a nursing colleague has donated a large box of fabric and sets of blocks which will make lovely quilts.
Marion Allen (Vic) donated 42 lovely QAYG blocks as well as several extra 4 patch blocks and a large piece of fabric for backing.
Margaret Humphrey (Vic) another lovely long term supporter of Oz Comfort Quilts has donated many items again for the bushfire quilt drive as well as knitted baby garments for the Peter Mac auxiliary shop. This lovely pastel lemon quilt was donated by Margaret.
A lovely top for the bushfire quilt drive and a Christmas runner to be finished for the Peter Mac auxiliary shop, both made by Margaret.
Margaret made 4 more lovely quilt tops and included backing.
She also included lovely fabric.
Some orphan blocks and crocheted squares for blankets.
Margaret also is a skilled and prolific knitter who donated all of these knitted baby garments for the Peter Mac auxiliary shop and some for st Kilda Mums, an organization who supports disadvantaged young mums and babies.
These lovely knitted bags will also sell in the Peter Mac auxiliary shop.
Luisa Gubiani (Vic) also very generously donated several sets of binding. Plans are developing to finish distribution of quilts in the Corryong area in the next few weeks so all of these wonderful donations will soon be comforting those in need.
If you have donated blocks or a top and haven't seen it finished yet please don't worry they will all be finished and donated. Distributing the quilts is a fairly slow process as people need to be ready to receive them and have suitable storage for them but soon we are going to be distributing most of those quilts which are currently in storage and then will need to build up our pile of quilts again.
Thank you so much for making a difference.
Hugs, Jan Mac
