Today's Deliveries.

 Today was a busy day of deliveries and first stop was to Life's Little Treasures where we delivered 27 quilts,  150 drawstring bags,  developmental hearts,  knitted beanies,  booties,  jackets  and teddy bears.

Then I visited Eastern Palliative Care where I delivered 45 quilts. 

Both organisations were very appreciative of all your wonderful donations.  I've also been busy crocheting another single bed blanket for Big Group Hug.

Today Pam Neenan took a car load of our donations to Backpacks 4 Vic Kids including 21 quilts, 150 Santa Sacks,  25 bucket hats,  3 new skirts, 4 pair of shorts,  80 soap pouches with soap,  large number of pencil cases with pencils,  3 nappy bags, 15 new Backpacks, boxes of handknits,  3 black tote bags for their Youth Packs,  and boxes of new toys for Christmas.  They were really appreciative of all the donations we sent and send their sincere thanks.

Finally Some Finishes.

I haven't had time to finish more quilts as I have been busy sewing on labels to a large number of quilts. They're finally all done now and I'm now packing lots of quilts for delivery. 

I did have time to bind 4 lovely donated quilts which didn't take 2 long. The first 2 were donated by the Bunyip Patchworkers and the second 2 tops were donated by Ann Bacon and very kindly quilted by Norma Aitken. 

I also joined 8 smaller crocheted blankets together to make 2 larger ones. I have been busy crocheting more squares for blankets as they are needed now the nights are colder.

Many Thanks Ann and Norma.

Ann Bacon donated 4 lovely quilt tops  as well as some UFOs and fabric. Norma Aitken very kindly couriered them for me as well as beautifully quilting 2 of the tops and also made 2 lovely quilt tops with some of the UFOs. 

Many thanks ladies for your generous support.
