I haven't posted here about the We Care quilts for kids for a while so thought better bring you all up to date.
We are currently running a raffle for a beautiful quilt it is 54 inches by 54 inches in soft pastel shades and beautifully quilted. Tickets can be obtained if you contact me. The raffle will be drawn on June 11th 2008. We are having an afternoon tea and displaying all the quilts we have finished in the past six months. Yes we have been going six months now. We are also having displays from the local quilt shop and scrapbooking shop as well as other items.
We are planning a trip to Ronald Mc Donald house in Melbourne on June 18th and we hope to deliver 30 quilts. We also have made a special quilt for the house to display to brighten their surroundings. As we are a non profit group we asked one of the local social clubs for assistance for our trip and we amazed they gave us a donation of $500 which is more than enough to for our trip there will be a large chunk left over to purchase more supplies. Of course the local paper covered the presentation of the donation and we made the front page of the paper and here we are they even have us on the Internet. I am the one accepting the cheque.

So as you can see although I have been quiet we have been busy and we are enjoying our work as much now as when we started and we have grown to eight very hard workers.I have included a photo of the quilt we are raffling but it is not a good photo but does show you the beautiful quilting.
