Welcome to our third Blessing of the Quilters.

Sandra Hiles Major Jenny Peterson
Left Right

Sandra leader of the Patchwork Easyas Ministry

These hexagon quilts above
have been made by ladies from both groups and their friends and these will go to Salvation Army Stillwaters Emergency Accommodation for Women in the building next door.
These quilts will be given later in the year along with about 65 Cuddle Cushions for the women who are usually quite traumatised and need to know that other women care about them and the cushions give them something to cuddle.

The quilts above
have been made by ladies from the two Salvation Army Corps. for the Salvation Army Fairhaven Rehabilitation Centre to be built at Mt. Tamborine. We are aiming to provide the new centre with 56 quilts by August. If any individual lady or group would like to donate a single bed quilt, or three, please feel free to do so as they will be very gratefully accepted.

Girl Guides Quilt Above
Today we have a very special quilt
made by the Girl Guides to commemorate
100 years of Girl Guiding Worldwide.
