Floods and Community Quilting

Our group has always set aside the third Saturday of each month for community quilting.

After the recent devastating floods in our region we have decided to put some quilts together to bring a little comfort to those families who have lost everything.
We are also doing up some sewing kits to send out to our fellow quilters who have lost sewing items in the floods.  Some may have lost their whole sewing rooms - imagine!!  We hope the sewing kits will give them hope to start over.

Some of our members were right onto it and have already donated quilt tops.




Here is Angela Langdon and Dianne S in front of quilt tops they have donated.  Angela has completed and dontated  FIVE tops during the holidays.....well done, Angela. 


The group on Tuesday got together and started the organization of the whole process.  We will be having a fund raising morning tea next Tuesday 25 January starting around 10.30am  for members.  Members will be asked to give a gold coin at the door, bring a plate to share and if they have any sewing requisites surplus to their needs, they may bring them along as a donation as well. 

Then on Saturday 29 January (our designated community sewing day) we will be having a sew-a-thon and getting some more quilt tops put together.  We can start at 9.00am.  and sew right through til 5.00pm.

Our friends at KoolKat Quilting, Kathy and Geoff, have very kindly offered to quilt for us free of charge.  Thank you so much Kathy and Geoff.
