The Coleambally Quilters (NSW) are long term supporters of Oz Comfort Quilts quilt drives and they have been very generous with their donations again. Their quilters have sent an incredible 16 quilts, most of them very large, as well as a large box of QAYG blocks, 5 tops and backing fabric as well as a lovely crocheted blanket.
Our Stage 4 lockdown for Melbourne has been extended for another 2 weeks and it seems likely that travel restrictions may not be lifted until the end of the year, so we will distribute the quilts again when it's possible. These beautiful quilts will be very welcome when we can finally visit the communities affected by the bushfires.
What a strange year we're experiencing. We're hoping to be able to care for our grandsons again in 5 weeks time when the schools reopen and our DD returns to work. I think we're all experiencing isolation fatigue when we have plenty of time to work on projects but motivation tends to wax and wane. I have been finishing off donated UFOs and will also get back to my own stitching, as well as making backings for donated tops.
I'm still making up quilt kits as well so there is still plenty to keep me busy. Thankfully we're all well and that will gave to be enough for now.
Hugs, Jan Mac

I'm always amazed at the lovely selection of beautiful quilts donated to your great causes!
A fabulous collection of quilts, blocks, tops, crotchet blanket etc. You must have been thrilled to receive the box of delights. Yes, we are in a very weird time and, like you, my enthusiasm has highs and lows. Our rules(UK) are changing again on Monday and it all seems never ending. However, sewing, knitting and crochet work all helps. Keep strong!
