Cancer fundraiser results.......

 Still playing catch up...........

26th October I held a Cancer fundraiser on Zoom.............

I have lost several close family members to cancer and one is currently fighting cancer again.........

Last time I did this I co-hosted with Jude 18mths ago and mostly raising money for Breast Cancer Network Australia........

Once again to join in you had to make a donation to a cancer organisation.....which ever one you liked so long as it supported cancer.............

During the day I got everyone to say who they donated to and what there organisation did.............
Everyone emailed me their donation amount and if international I converted to AUD..........
I had to do some watering during the day and I found this beautiful hippeastrum flowering............
Cheese and nibbles is always enjoyed............
Stunning and flowering madly.............
I worked on my bright Fat 1/4 mixer quilt..........mostly Ruby Star with a few others thrown in and a few from my stash.............
Cutting and piecing some during the day..............
I did spend a lot of time just chatting.........but that's fine also.......
The last stragglers................
we had a very long day sewing..........
6am-8.30pm.........

We were nearly at $1000 at the end of the day and someone made another donation to kick us over...........but then a few more donations came in after the day..........
CONGRATS together we raised $1132.71...........
18 joined on the day.......
plus a few more girls made donations that didn't get to join us.........
THANKYOU EVERYONE 
Together we can make a difference..............
Catch you later..........

Sorry to the girls who were on zoom at the time and I think Sue tried to join later.......my sudden rush off to work....lets just say it was a big week and leave it at that.........onto the good stuff..........
I was working on cutting some more blocks for Chapel Street.......
Slowly they are adding up...........still have not located the first couple of blocks I made in Qld last year.......they will turn up.........
Zoom had a constant group popping in and out all day............I think we had about 18 people join in and a few more donated that could not join..............
For those over seas I just converted to AUD to get an amount 
the great news is we raise $406.38 
for Breast Cancer Network Australia and some international breast cancer charities............
that is a wonderful effort........thankyou to those who donated........
It was a pretty sunrise............
Jude's fundraising is mostly done...........
All up with Jude's 21st birthday celebrations she had raised about $3200 and add our collection for the cause that's about $3600.......amazing effort............
