I love it when people go out and spread the word about Aussie Heroes. If you are doing that at all please send me a picture of the event and a bit of a write up.
Thanks muchly to these lovely ladies, Di G, Jean B, Jeannette G and Sandy for their efforts....
What a fabulous day for the Gleniffer Quilt and Craft Show
last Saturday! A few hundred people
visited the fabulous setting of the
Gleniffer Hall situated close to the Never Never Creek and were delighted by
the extensive range of quilts on display. There were over 150 quilts – small
and large – which were closely inspected – but not judged. Many people relaxed
under the trees, enjoying the sunshine and praised the efforts of the
organisers of the Gleniffer Quilt and Craft Fair.
Our resident “bag lady”, Jean was the spokesperson
for the Aussie Hero Quilts and spread the word about the fantastic work that is
done by AHQ. Jean had a number of her legendary laundry bags to show, as well
as a quilt, by Jeannette for a Dockers fan. Many AHQ flyers were
taken and hopefully Jan-Maree may have some more Mid North Coast volunteers to
call on.
Jean also had a copy of one of the Thank You emails that she
has received – including one from a peacemaker in South Sudan. It reduced a number
of people to tears by the heartfelt gratitude and appreciation of the receipt
of the laundry bag / quilt. The service
men and women love it, the volunteers love creating pieces – a win / win for
everyone!
Di G, Jean B, Jeannette G and Sandy spreading the word for Aussie Hero Quilts at Gleniffer Quilt and Craft Fair
2015. Great effort.
Great stuff Ladies!
