The Weekly Wrap.


 Today we delivered 26 quilts and 10 blankets to the Alfred Hospital's Palliative Care Units which brings our total to 110 quilts distributed this week. All of the organisations are really appreciative of all your wonderful donations and I plan on getting more donated quilt tops finished ASAP now that our weather is getting colder. 

Many thanks everyone for your generous support.

Comings and Goings.

Today we had the large van from Big Group Hug arrive to pick up donations which was a relief as we couldn't move one of the cars due to the large number of boxes.
We donated 12 quilts,  26 blankets,  nearly 500 drawstring bags,  soap pouches with soap, boxes of tote bags, boxes of handknits,  teddy bears with custom made jumpers,  soft toys, pencil cases with pencils,  lots of handmade cushions, baby's bibs and burp cloths,  Newcastle's and undies, and boxes of beanies.
Another large parcel also arrived from Joy Walton and she very kindly donated 2 beautifully knitted cardigans,  20 knitted beanies and booties as well as $100 which will be used to buy more wadding. 

Lyz Kershaw dropped off more donations including  2 cute dresses,  a skirt, pencil cases, drawstring bags,  a quilt, new undies and library bags.

I also found another bag donated by Cathy Bruton and the Inverloch Chatty Crafters and it contained 2 cute pair of shorts,  a doll, library bags, a Santa Sack, drawstring bags and tote bags.
Many thanks everyone for your generous support.
