Quilts donated by quilters both in Australia and overseas to help bring some comfort to those affected by the tragic floods in Queensland and Victoria, as well as in the earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan in 2011, and to other welfare agencies.

Quilts for Kinglake
The quilters from Queanbeyan (NSW) sent down two sewing machines, quilting books and magazines, sewing kits and 12 quilts for donation. Joan Griffin (Vic) donated 6 large quilts, mostly QS and Sharyn Caspar (Vic) also donated a finished quilt as well as enough QAYG blocks to make two quilts and she also sent prepared binding strips. So we're getting closer to our target number of quilts.
