24.01.2022 Do all the different needles confuse you?? Maybe this will help!

23.01.2022 So lovely that the Alice Springs Quilters have caught up with each other!

22.01.2022 Hi all, just wanted to let you know that Annie Buckley's funeral will be held on Monday 14th September at 2.00pm at Darwin Funeral Services on Amy Johnson Avenue, Darwin. Regards Ally B

22.01.2022 Not long to go until the Global Quilt Connection. 30 quilt teachers - INCLUDING ME - who are ready now to do online classes and presentations will present what we have to offer . Let your quilt guild committees know so they can register (free) to watch.

21.01.2022 PM me if you recognise this quilt and can tell me who made it and for whom.

18.01.2022 Party Time!! DPAQ members it's almost that time again. Our Christmas Party is just around the corner. See flyer for details. RSVP by 19th Nov, sorry we can't accept changes after this. Hope to see you there!!

18.01.2022 Great turn out for our charity quilt making day today, the ladies are hard at work fueled by Lindt chocolate and sponge cake

16.01.2022 Hey folks, We need your help. It is getting hard to buy Licenced material as imports from the States and other countries are being affected by COVID (isn't jus...t about everything?). We can't afford to order stuff in from overseas, even if we could wait for the orders to get here. My local ladies have raided our local Spotlight and have tried ordering online from them but we have had little to no luck so I am putting it out to all of you. If you want to support us but you are not a sewer then you might go into your local Spotlight, or quilt shop and see if you can buy us some licenced fabric for us to incorporate in our quilts and bags. You would be surprised how many requests we get for DC and Marvel Superheroes like Thor, Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman and so many more. Requests come in for Wiggles, or Paw Patrol and of course all sorts of Pixar stars like Cars and Disney creations. and then there are the ever present Star Wars requests. It would be wonderful to be able to continue to make these requests special for our guys and girls on deployment and we would appreciate any help you can give us. Our postal address is Aussie Hero Quilts, PO Box 248, Cherrybrook, NSW 2126 Please comment below, message me or even email (attn Jan-Maree - Licensed Fabric) if you have questions. Have a great day everyone! Cheers Jan-Maree

11.01.2022 It is with much sadness that I advise the passing of Annie Buckley tonight at Palliative Care, Royal Darwin Hospital. Ally B

11.01.2022 As we are getting ready to say our last goodbyes to Annie Buckley, who passed away on Monday 7th September, some of our members have sent in their favourite photos of Annie and her quilting, and they really do express her character! She joined us in 2009 as a beginner quilter, and went on to hold several roles in our committee over six years including organising our Mt Bundy weekends, our annual raffle quilts, appraising quilts, setting up our Territory Quilts exhibition and ...most importantly organising our quilts of love and other charity quilts. Her enthusiasm and friendship will be missed by many in our club, as she made so many people feel welcome, and was never afraid to roll up her sleeves and get to work. Rest In Peace Annie
