Caring with Quilts another update.......

Hopefully I should be wrapping up the quilt collecting this week................I have 3 lots to come in this week..........and hoping that is getting to the end of collecting..........it's just amazing........




from the top down....

3x Carol @ Parkes, 
3x R @ Orange, 
2x Marie and Mona Quambone, 
1x Jean Ardlethan, 















This pile on the left  is from the Coonabarabran Hospital Auxillary.............................This pile on the right unknown from the coast somewhere............they came with other goods and the quilts were passed onto the CWA to hand out so I have no contacts...........

























This huge pile from the Walgett Quilters who I got to have lunch with yesterday........
lovely group of ladies..........
Tomorrow some of the CWA ladies are meeting a lady for morning tea who has travelled up from Sydney to deliver some quilts, Thursday I am meeting a lady while away doing a pick up...........Saturday me and one of the ladies who's house was destroyed are meeting with a lady from the Southern Highlands area who is passing thru to deliver some quilts........
it's a big job but soooooo worth it..............the people who have them so far are just so AMAZED and THANKFUL people have cared enough to do this...............
Catch you later..............
