New Arrivals.


Our members continue to send in more fabulous donations and they will soon be on their way to the many organisations we support.
Lynell Jendra from Queensland has spent the past 2 years making an incredible amount of different items, knowing that she would be travelling down to Victoria to deliver them. She made 395 QAYG blocks, 113 pillowcases, 161 sanitary pouches, 352 soap pouches, 37 pencil cases, 5 cloth bags, 86 romper suits for babies/toddlers, 8 beautiful quilts, 17 library bags and 100 Santa Sacks. So many children are going to love your creations, Lynell. Xx
Jill Khong has donated 4 lovely quilts, 24 Santa Sacks, 13 soft toys with beautiful hand knitted jumpers, 1 knitted baby jacket, 1 baby beanie, 4 baby bibs, 5 new baby outfits, 2 books, as well as 1 baby blanket and 2 knitted jackets for Life's Little Treasures.
Thank you both so much for making and donating such wonderful donations to make life a little better for so many people. Xx










It's been a busy time with donations coming and going. 15 quilts were donated to the Alfred Hospital's Palliative Care Unit and 10 quilts, 24 knitted/crocheted blankets and 30 beanies with 25 pair of gloves were donated to Big Group Hug.
Donations also arrived with Ann Lynch donating 7 beautiful quilt tops, 20 drawstring bags and 3 Santa Sacks.
Sue McPhee donated several tubs of fabric, threads and UFOs and the 4th photo shows one of Sue's lovely hand pieced quilt tops of lozenge shapes. I have hand appliqued them to backing and will add some borders.
Vanessa Fairchild and the Grange Community Centre donated 18 beautifully crocheted/knitted blankets as well as 4 knitted headpieces.
Break O'Day Quilters from Tasmania donated 3 crocheted blankets and Carleen Richardson very kindly transported them when she was here for the SCQuilters retreat.





Thanks everyone.

Hugs, Jan Mac
