Where some of our community quilts go

Most of our community quilts are given to individuals or to other community organisations that distribute them to their clients, and occasionally we are able to donate a quilt for a fundraising activity that benefits a larger number of people through that group’s work. These are just a few examples.



Ten community quilts were delivered to Lifeline to add to
hampers for community clients, gratefully received.
They will be matched to each clients needs and taste,
 wrapped as a gift.


We recently donated this quilt to an event raising funds
 to support children in Cambodia, at the request of one
of our members. Together with another donated quilt
 it raised $3,700 for the Cambodian Children’s Fund.
 The quilt was made from a donated pieced centre, and
a second donation of the pieced borders. Marilyn skilfully
put it together by appliquéing the centre to a background
fabric and joining on the borders. It was quilted by Yvette.
