June 2013
Winter has settled in Adelaide in the last few weeks. There was a pile of quilts in my sewing room already as the seven quilts we had set aside for NSW bush fire families were never sent - mainly because we had no way of getting them up there (for free) but also because they said that they had sufficient for their cause and to hold onto them if we had another charitable cause. We regularly give quilts to the Migrant Resource Centre, because they help refugee families fresh off the plane from foreign lands who have very little possessions, let alone enough bedding to keep warm. So the seven quilts were included in this delivery of 16 quilts this week...I tried to not include the pictures of those original seven but my math isn't adding up, so there must be one repeat picture in here!
Happy quilting, Sue SA on behalf of the Quilts from the Heart group, Westbourne Park.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAfter I replied to your email I decided to check out your blogs - WOW!! You girls are VERY productive! And very generous. There are so many groups around the world who jump into action as soon as there is a disaster somewhere, fire flood or whatever, and there must be thousands of donated quilts in many countries. How kind of you to give them to refugee families - yet another group of 'needy' people who will be forever grateful.
Have you heard of Aussie Hero Quilts? Jan in NSW has a large group making quilts and laundry bags for Aussie servicemen and women posted overseas, and they are so grateful that women back home make quilts for people they don't know and probably will never meet.
So much goodness and love in quilts!
When your baby quilts arrive, I will be acknowledging you on my blog.
Hugs
Gina
