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.
it is so fun to look through all these and know that they were all made with so much love...and it is a thrill to see the stars that i sent all the way from NY in the US in a finished quilt. I hope that the quilt brings lots of joy to its new owner.
I'm even later discovering this post! Ever since my quilt was finished off by Tia and sent up to Victoria, I have been wondering what happened to it and if someone is loving it.. (mine is 2nd one down, even if it is pictured upside down... those are hearts! lol!) Even after all this time I wondered and looked up the dates and link to here on Tia's blog. It is great to know it arrived ok and hope the recipient liked it.
