On Friday, a group of ladies from Caring Hearts Community Quilters and my WM gathered at our founder’s house to photograph, fold and pack 72 quilts to go to high school students (aged 12 to18) who lost everything in the recent bushfires.
That’s our founder, second from the right.
WM was kept busy on the back patio taking photo after photo while one or two women held the quilts up for him, and the ladies inside worked tireless in sorting quilts, packing quilts, collating packed quilts, attaching missing labels, sewing in or removing hanging threads, etc.
Most of the quilts were donated, less than half were actually made by our group. What a wonderful crafting community! I’ve put some of the quilts in these photos; I’m sure you didn’t want to see all 72!
And, just because I can, a gratuitous photo of Younger Grandson enjoying spaghetti for dinner!
Those quilts look great and will certainly be much appreciated. I had forgotten just how messy eating spaghetti can be for little one! He is adorable.
