16th May

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to everyone who attended quilting today we had a productive day with members quilting, hand sewing and some choosing to knit. Ellen’s friend kindly donated some cotton threads to us as she no longer had a need for them. It’s great news for us as we will put them to good use in our many Community projects.

 Alison completed her Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt. Congratulations Alison.

2nd May Community Day

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we were visited by Krystiana from RizeUp who spoke to us about the ongoing and growing battle against domestic violence in Australia. RizeUp is responsible for the fit out of houses or units for people or families fleeing domestic violence by providing a welcoming home environment. Hunters Hill Quilters is supporting RizeUp at our upcoming Quilt Show in August. 

We were also able to supply Krystiana with 6 quilts and 3 knitted blankets for future homes.
