I go quilting every Friday evening at the church near me I have been going there for a couple of years, I only took up quilting 5 years again aged 60 when I retired from the work force.
(you do not have to be a member of the church)
They always supply tea & coffee & cakes etc for us girls for free, there is no admittence charge to join either.
I wantd to show my appreciation to them so I made this lap quilt which they raffled and the money they made went into the church funds to help their parishoners who needed some help.
I hope I did not break any laws as I saw this pattern in a quilt book and loved it, I know you are not allowed to copy them for profit but I hope that does not apply to the church for worse off people funds. Jo.
Just wanted to say a very huge thankyou to all of you in America who will send fabric to Australia for the state of Victoria fire victims who quilt, what a beaut idea and I'm sure it will all be well received.
I live in Frankston Victoria and today 18th February 2009 we still have the haze from the fires that are still burning.
My family live about an hour from the fires but the whole community are banding together to help out, we actually have buried a beautiful ringtail possum that fell out of our huge gum tree as after 3 days of 45 degree heat is must have been too much for the little creature.
Yesterday I received the DVD of Ricky Tims Kool Kaleidoscope quilt to make, I have watched it already and am itching to make a start.
Thanks again to all you kind people. - Jo.
