This is Helen. She is proudly holding her finished quilt. She is a new comer to the world of quilting. This quilt will eventually be donated to the community. It was made from material donated to the guild. Well done Helen and well done to the ladies who assisted her in this task.
Before, during and after the recent lockdown, many of our members created lots of diverse and beautiful quilts. Last Wednesday 25 of these quilts were given to Gosford Family Services. Hopefully these quilts will brighten someone’s day during a difficult time.
Once a month some of the ladies in our Guild meet to make quilts and items for our community. We recently donated 20 quilts and 24 pillow cases to the Child Protection Counselling Service of the Local Central Coast Health District. These beautiful quilts will be given to parents, grandparents, children and carers who have experienced trauma or violence. We hope they will make someones day a little brighter.
