Hi to all you crafty people!
I hope you had a memorable ANZAC Day 2018 however you chose to spend it.
Our family enjoyed a service at West Ryde, time together and a catch up Viber call from our son on HMAS ANZAC.
So far for 2018 we have sent off 479 quilts
Bringing our total since we started to over 8,894 quilts
1005 laundry bags for the year so far
which brings us to a total of 17,601 since we started

Thank you all for the wonderful sewing contributions this week.
I was so pleased to see how the crowds still swell to commemorate our Diggers past and present. There were people of all ages in the ANZAC service that we attended. The kids were asking questions and were genuinely interested to know about the history behind the ANZAC story and all of the other places that the Australian Defence Personnel have served around the world. It was a proud moment for me, when the New Zealand anthem was played alongside the Australian anthem. A bond between our two countries that will not be lost. (Even if you still give us hell every time you get a chance!)
See you round like a rissole
Shelley
Lovely work, wonderful words.
