17.01.2022 Yesterday, I sent 14 quilts, 6 rugs, 5 jumpers & some hats up to the Dandenongs with a friend , who is a mental health worker up there. She will be checking in on residents & visiting local community centres such as neighbourhood houses. The residents are very traumatised after the devastating storms of last week, some still do not have power still. For many , there was no power & communications such as phone & Internet, had been knocked out as well . Infrastructure & houses were damage & then you add on contaminated water & COVID. It is cold up there, so we hoping those beautiful handknitted jumpers , rugs & quilts will bring warmth & comfort. We will continue to provide support where we can, please let Norma know if you have quilts or rugs you would like to donate.

01.01.2022 Help wanted. Gift Quilts has been given this beautiful Quilt top designed by Di Ford. It is the Oh dear, Mrs Thompkins: Aka The Burnt Quilt. It has been beautiful pieced, but unfortunately is only 3/4 done. I am looking for an enthusiastic hand piecer( or team of them) to finished the quilt. I have checked all the pieces so there is a plan to finish it. It comes with the pattern, templates & a huge bag of lovely reproduction fabric. When complete it would make a wonderful Raffle Quilt for someone like Heartbeat Gabrini. If you can help, please let me know. Norma
