Wildlife Pouches

A big thank you to those quilters who assisted in making the little pouches for the sick and injured wildlife.  The Romsey library has had a big response and have asked us to slow down for the moment.  I am sure there will be further calls for assistance.  If you have already made some pouches they will be gratefully accepted.

First Sit and Sew for 2020

There was a good gathering of eager sewers today with a range of projects underway.
Robyn captured a few of us busy people with heads down and needles whizzing in and out!









Jillian was justly proud of her beautiful black and white quilt with the stunning stippling in an all over pattern!








A few people got involved with making pouches for wildlife as well as contributing material.






These are the xx small pouches.  If you are interested in contributing contact me (Glo) and I will
provide you with the information you need.  My collection point is the Romsey Library.

Here's the link again for detailed instructions!

Happy sewing!

Cannot make the Coolie Ties

Unfortunately we have found out that the Coolie scarves we planned to make are not approved by the CFA.  As a group we are very keen to do anything we can to assist.  You may be interested in making animal pouches that are being coordinated through the Romsey Library.  I (Glo) have started to make a few as I show in the following pictures.  They are currently asking for the xx small size pouches and I will attach the link for you to follow and print out the details  I will bring the pattern with me on Saturday as well.

Coolie Scarfs for our Firefighters

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a safe Christmas. As we all know our beautiful state is surrounded by bushfires. Our hearts go out to everyone in Australia who have been effected by fires. Yesterday I saw something we could do to help on Facebook. Cool the Fireys - Coolie scarfs for the firefighters.   I know Kay attended a workshop today to help make these.  I thought we could put our talents to work and make some.  Website with instructions are below. I happy to drop them off at the collection point in Elthan. I will buy a tub of crystals and bring them along to our Sit N Sew on Saturday (11th). If you have some spare time and some spare fabric (must be cotton) why not come along this Saturday and make some coolie scarfs for our firefights. The project has been approved by the CFA, the goal is to make 10.000 scarves 

Hope to see you on Saturday.
