more quilts for queensland

I’d love to share with you how the collection for Quilts for Queensland is going but I’ll spare you the rather unattractive pile of parcels and shopping bags full of quilts and blocks. What is required is a day to sort, match up, bundle up ready made quilts and distribute some of the quilt tops to the nice ladies who have offered to quilt them. I will do this at the end of March so there is still time to get your blocks, quilt tops and quilts in (and you’ve been emailing to ask me) so keep ’em coming.

And I received a beautiful email from a lady called Sue during the week. Sue knows people affected by the floods and is going to deliver some quilts for us and take photos for me to share here. I couldn’t think of anything nicer. To be able to share in the joy of the giving and receiving. And particularly as Sue’s very best friend lost everything in the floods. And she is a quilter. Can you imagine? I just can’t.

1. Quilt for Queensland, 2. Queensland Back, 3. Queensland – Top, 4. Quilts for Queensland – Stacked Coins #2, 5. Happy Cars Quilt, 6. Quilts for Queensland Quilt #2, 7. Quilts for Queensland Quilt #1, 8. Quilt For Queensland, 9. 12.5 inch quilt block for Quilts for Queensland

If you are in the same position and know where to deliver quilts please drop me an email. So of course a big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. I really do have a mountain of parcels still to open so if you’re wondering whether I’ve received it……….I’ll get back to you. And don’t forget to check out the gorgeous things on the flickr page…I’m pretty sure there are plenty of these still to be opened in my sewing room but I’ll get there. Soon. Remember my new motto. I’ll get there……..eventually. I hope to share mosaics with you each week so we can all ohh and ahhh together.

  3. It must be quite a big undertaking! I’m glad there are plenty offers of help!

  4. Well the little car quilt from Jessica is in my little hot hands and going to a little one year old boy and I am just trying to finish a quilt for his sister.
    I am doing the same here we make quilts already with someone in mind so the quilts match age, gender and so on.
    The other top you are show ( chinese coin) s one of two tops Jessica stitched for me with fabrics we had been given and I am quilting them as soon as I can.
    I have currently 11 charity quilts here to quilt.

  5. Hi Corrie
    This sounds like a huge job. I’m not a quilter, but if I can help you with moving and posting them – I think we may live in the same area, as I see we share a hairdresser – you can contact me at
