23rd October

Hi Everyone,

Today at quilting we had Laura and Sophie from WAGEC visit to tell us of the work of their organisation, and we are excited to support WAGEC at our 2026 Quilt Show. 

WAGEC supports women impacted by domestic violence and homelessness. They offer a range of therapeutic support to women and children to promote recovery and healing from the impacts of trauma, domestic and family violence and adverse life experiences. Support is tailored to the needs of the women and children living in their crisis and transitional housing accommodation. WAGEC provides support in parenting and child attachment programs, therapeutic and psycho-educational group work, art therapy and trauma informed yoga.

We were pleased to donate 7 quilts and 1 baby tummy time quilt to add some colour and handmade love to a refuge home. Thank you Laura and Sophie for your time and professional presentation to HHQ.
