Yesterday we had our usual club day and even though lots of ladies were in Hamilton we had a good turn out of over 30 members. Our 2 special ladies who are currently having Chemo were there with their pretty hats. They are so brave and were in danger of being over hugged.
When most ladies had gone home I got the few left to do a "quilt hold up, "( for our records ) of all the charity quilts that had been donated to give to the Homes of Hope in Tauranga. There were 20 quilts and as there are currently 16 children in 3 homes that is a good number to hand out. Here 3 of us are later yesterday handing over the quilts.
Below are all the quilts. Sorry about the legs, but the quilts were all different sizes and my human hangers had legs.
We now have some space in our cupboard at the club rooms.
Our exhibition is just 2 weeks away. Last year you may remember we had only aprons on the sales table, that all got sold very rapidly. This year we are selling only cushion covers.We have almost 80 ready. Another good effort, by mostly the same ladies.

Hi Ali, what a lovely bunch of quilts you handed over. Yesterday I went down to Hamilton and on the way stopped off at Grandmothers Garden to drop off a big pile of quilt tops on our clubs behalf for Christchurch. I've some of the "Quilts Aotearoa" quilts on my blog. You might find some pictures that you haven't got and seen :-) cheers
Thanks for the show and tell.
