Quilts of Love or Hope Quilts

Every Monday that I can I attend with a group of 12 - 15 ladies a sewing group in Campbelltown Library. Back in December 2011 we started making what we refer to as Quilts of Love or Hope Quilts, over the last 15 months, we have parcelled up our love and hope to many families.

I was asked recently where we got our supplies from and how we chose to give out the quilts. 

Our supplies come from our own stashes, and also from our weekly dues that we pay (rental of our hall, tea &; coffee, teachers fees etc) there is always a little extra. But we were also fortunate enough at the end of last year you have an article in the local paper, which sparked some community interest and we have since received a few donations of fabric - so if you are wishing to donate some fabric please contact me.

How our recipients are chosen, well sadly I am sure if you think about the statistics of Cancer and Terminal illnesses of late - I think its' every 1 in 2 are diagnosed, you only need to ponder on that a moment. To realise there are many in need. And almost every other week we have somebody who knows somebody who is diagnosed or recently found out. ...so our list just grows.

Here is a dedication roll to the those that have received quilts from us...I think I have photographed each and every one of our made with Love Hope Quilts!!
