Deliveries and Finishes.

This week's finishes include this pretty quilt in pink.

Loreen Kelly (Vic) donated the cute Christmas quilt top and I  finished it as a wall hanging. With Loreen's permission the wall hanging has been donated to the Peter Mac's auxiliary shop for sale to raise funds for patient services. 

Mary Anne Rooney donated another lovely quilt top made from one of Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville free patterns.  It's a lovely quilt and a great way to use 2.5 strips .

Last week we delivered 10 quilts,  3 blankets,  20 hand knitted jumpers,  3 sewing kits and some soft toys. Norma Aitken kindly delivered the items for us to an organisation which helps newly arrived Afghani refugees and they were very happy with all of the donations for their clients.

The first beautiful quilt was made by Sharon Siacci from Beyond Meander Quilting , and using the Mystery quilt design by Alison Kennedy-Cooke for SCQuilter's recent retreat.  It's  a very pretty quilt and will go to a young girl in foster care.

Three Large Parcels Arrived.

Lynn Barker from NSW sent 2 large parcels containing 2 crocheted blankets,  some beautiful stitcheries and a large amount of fabulous fabric to make into kits, backings etc.

So many lovely quilts can be made from these beauties.

Sharyn Davidson from Qld has donated a beautifully crocheted baby blanket,  a lovely crocheted bag, 3 fabric teddies and 9 pair of beautifully sewn shorts for children. 

Thank you both so much for your generous donations to help those in need.

Hugs, Jan Mac 

 

Teamwork.

Norma Aitken from Waverley Patchworkers very kindly received donations from members in the Bellarine area and she dropped them off today. Shirley Drayton donated the lovely dolphin themed quilt. 

 

Judith Cooke donated 2 beautiful and large quilts which will be going to Rochester for our flood affected areas quilt drive. 

Judith also donated 7 beautifully knitted premmie jackets and a lovely baby blanket  for Life's Little Treasures. 

Norma and Waverley Patchworkers also donated some lovely fabric for backings and drawstring bags. 

If anyone is interested in donating quilts for our flood quilt drive and live near Bendigo or Kyabram,  then two friends of mine are willing to receive quilts and deliver them to Rochester when people are ready to receive them.  Could you please sew on a label to your quilts so they don't have to and they won't be able to accept quilt tops or fabric.

We are in need of single, double and queen sized quilts but we won't be able to distribute them until after Christmas as the affected communities have no where to store them. So please don't feel pressured to make them quickly as, like all of our quilt drives for natural disasters, this will be a marathon and not a sprint.

Many thanks for your generous support everyone. 

Hugs, Jan Mac xx
