Hi Everyone,
As you will have seen from the beautiful photos from the Aussie Hero's thank you dinner last weekend in Canberra, everyone had a great time. Thank you to all who so generously contributed to make the evening a success. Canberra was also at its best weather wise, so it was a win, win for those who had to travel to attend.
I'm sure that is of interest to everyone, to put a face to a name that you will have seen under some of the fantastic sewing that have been made and gifts given over the past years. Everyone's efforts are greatly appreciated. A special thank you to the sewers who could not attend the dinner. It was a special evening to hear first hand from recipients and the difference that a gift hand made and special, makes when it arrives. Don't ever feel that this is not important work that you are doing. You all do "make a difference".
So far for 2018 we have sent off 1,190 quilts

Thank you again for the wonderful variety of recipient gifts. It is fantastic to see the individual touches and clever ideas to make the sewing special.
Have a great weekend. Is it to soon to mention the dreaded Christmas shopping?
