Lynne Mills from Victoria donated the first 3 fabulous quilts and the first one is so large it was hard to display properly and it will be a treasure for the person who receives it.
Such a pretty floral quilt with hand embroidered flowers made by Lynne Mills.
The night ladies group of AQA have very generously been sewing angels, finishing off tops, making tops from donated blocks or finishing quilts with quilting and binding.
They made several I Spy quilts as we always seem to need quilts for boys.
This owl top was a donated panel and they added borders to make it larger.
This top with pink stars is a composite of about 3 different quilters, or more. I was making the pink stars using donated pieced floral strips and my angel combined them with donated pink blocks as well so we probably finished UFOs for 3 or 4 people with this one quilt.
I think these crazy blocks in blue were donated and my angels added sashing, borders and quilted it.
This lovely top in pinks was donated as a pieced backing by Michelle (Vic) but it was too pretty as a back so I quilted it as a top.
Wendy Snook (Vic) donated this lovely top as well as backing and I quilted it so it is ready for donation.
I didn't get as much time for quilting as I'm busy getting ready for the next delivery of quilts. Hopefully we can finish distribution in Corryong next week after we take tye finished quilts out of storage. Anne Jones and the ladies from the Girl's Shed in Tocumwal have made 59 quilts varying in size from child's to queen size and they are delivering them tomorrow. After that we will have a clearer idea of how many we need to take to complete what is needed there before focusing on East Gippsland.
It looks like it will be a busy week getting ready for distribution and the quilts will be very welcome now it's so cold.
Hugs and thanks, Jan Mac
