17th October

Hi Everyone,

It was wonderful seeing so many of you at quilting today. To see those of you who have been away owing to ill health or returning home from your travels.

It is so easy to forget things when writing this blog so I must apologise to the ladies who celebrate their birthday in the month of October. 

Happy Birthday to You 🎂 we hope you enjoyed your special day.

Today everyone was busy working on various hand sewing projects from appliqué to embroidery.

Community

Today Jane received from Bear Cottage a thank you for the quilts we donated.

Hi Jane

 

We would like to thank you (Hunters Hill Quilters) for the fabulous quilts you recently donated. The dogs with the floppy ears quilt was certainly a favourite and is currently being used in-house for the children and families to enjoy. We also loved the neutral but bright colours – so they can be used for our older children, both girls and boys.

 

Your kindness is truly appreciated. We would love to send a little thank you card to the quilting team – do you have an address we could send it to?

 

Thanks again

 

With grateful hearts

 

Tamsin

Hi Everyone,

It was great seeing everyone at quilting today after a couple of weeks away. There was so much action happening it was hard to keep up with it all. Grace completed a quilt from our collection of fabric from Deidre and it will be collected from a family member in the next couple of weeks. Robyn Ja completed a quilt to our Community collection.

Grace completed this quilt and it will be given to Deidre’s family

Robyn Ja made this quilt for Community

26 September

It was a return to winter today so only a few of us braved the cold, rainy conditions but there was a lot of enthusiasm for making new projects. Those who went to the NSW Quilt Show last weekend were full of praise for the quilts on display.

Some quilts which were started at the retreat have already been completed.

Grace made these quilts from fabric donated by the family of Deirdre O’Farrell (a retired quilter) and they will be given to children at Ronald McDonald House

Christy also took some of Deirdre’s quilt blocks and made them into cot quilts

In 2002, Beryl bought some fabric in Japan but couldn’t bring herself to cut it up. She gave it away to Marie K. who not only cut it up but turned it into a beautiful quilt and gave it back to Beryl. What a lovely gift!

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we celebrated our birthday with a glass of bubbles and a delicious mini cupcakes. Thanks to Kerry and Narelle for organising the food and drinks it certainly made the day feel special.

To make our day Krystiana was able to join us as we presented RizeUp with $20,000 from our 2024 Quilt Show. We also donated 4 quilts to Krystiana today to be placed in the homes they are preparing for new clients.

Retreat Weekend 6th - 8th September

Hi Everyone,

What a weekend away at Kincumber on our Retreat. A huge thank you to Narelle who organised our weekend. Narelle not only organised our accommodation but also made suggestions for places to visit on our way up.

Japanese Gardens @ East Gosford

A must on our list was visit to Achieve just in case we needed more supplies. A quick afternoon tea at Avoca then onto St Joseph’s at Kincumber.

Setting up in the “sweat shop” 

        Strip Poker Queen - Ann

The games we participated in over the weekend were a lot of fun. BINGO anyone! Fat quarter games with twists! I think we all agree the  “Strip Poker” game was hilarious, fun and lots of laughter from the group. Ann will now have to be called the queen of having the best poker face. Thanks Narelle for the organisation of the games and the prizes for the weekend.

Congratulations to Hayley who became a grandmother again on Saturday and she is looking forward to meeting her new grandson after the Retreat. 

To round off our weekend we celebrated Marie’s birthday on Sunday. “Happy Birthday Marie”

Morning Tea

Working hard on our projects

The wild life was plentiful with cheeky magpies, ducks and rabbits. This cute little bunny was too late to join us for afternoon tea.

The weekend was a great success and thanks to the ladies who were able to attend.

Until next time.

Happy quilting, Sandy
