21.01.2022 DON'T MISS A VERY SPECIAL 'AIRING OF THE QUILTS' EVENT TO SUPPORT A WONDERFUL CAUSE. Our Belong Blue Mountains Palliative Support Service is a very special service supported by a very special community. The ‘Caring Hearts Quilters’ are a group of wonderful and talented people who donate their time and creativity for the comfort of others. The Caring Hearts Quilters have donated lovingly made quilts to the Palliative Care Wards at Blue Mountains District Hospital, Springwo...od Hospital and the Blue Mountains Palliative Care Volunteer Service. The quilts are given to patients in the wards and in the home setting to place on their beds and brighten up their rooms. Families are then welcome to keep the quilts in memory of their loved one. To raise money to support their work, the Caring Hearts Quilters have held an annual ‘Airing of the Quilts’ event. This year they will be the 12th and final Airing of the Quilts and it promises to be a wonderful day with more than 200 quilts on display, market stalls, Devonshire tea and a sausage sizzle. The 12th Annual ‘Airing of the Quilts’ will be held on Saturday April 10th from 10am-4pm at the Arms of Australia Inn Museum, Great Western Highway, Emu Plains. Cost of entry is $5. The Caring Hearts Quilters will continue to create quilts for donations in future years but this will be the last opportunity to see their amazing quilts on display and support their cause. So don’t miss it! For more information call the Caring Hearts Quilters on 0438 670 012.
