Big Day of Deliveries.

 Yesterday was a busy day of deliveries with 140 quilts being delivered at 5 different locations and 10 were delivered last week.

Firstly to Life's Little Treasures we donated 27 quilts, 25 baby blankets, 29 knitted teddies, 15 knitted premmie jackets, 5 pair of booties, 21 premmie beanies, 30 cuddle hearts and 62 drawstring bags.
Next we delivered 20 quilts to Eastern Palliative Care for their clients. Then back to load the car again.
Then to Backpacks 4 Vic Kids where we delivered 15 quilts, 51 Santa Sacks, soft toys, soap pouches and new clothes.
From there we went to Mums Supporting Families in Need again, now that their warehouse manager is back from maternity leave. We delivered a Jeep full of donations including 27 quilts, 38 blankets, warm jackets, soft toys and hand knitted garments.
Back home again to load up the car and we delivered 51 quilts for the Rochester flood quilt drive to Norma Aitken of Waverley Patchworkers. Norma has very kindly offered to deliver them to Mary Anne Rooney in Bendigo and she is delivering them to a friend in the Kyabram area who will store them until people are able to accept them.
Last week we delivered 10 quilts, 24 blankets and 30 beanies and gloves sets to Big Group Hug.
So far this year we have delivered over 800 quilts as well as blankets, hand knits, Santa Sacks etc and I will give an update of the totals soon.
In the meantime, we still need quilts, Santa Sacks etc. Just make what you enjoy and it will make life a little easier while they are enduring challenging times.
All of the organisations we visited really appreciated all of your generous donations. Many thanks everyone for your ongoing support.
Hugs, Jan Mac Xx
