Quilts for Victoria’s Bushfire Victims

We had a working bee last Tuesday making quilt-as-you-go strip quilts for the people who lost everything in the Black Saturday fires on February 7th.

We made gazillions of blocks and assembled two quilts.  Here’s Di holding up the first one.

We did some more on Thursday too.  Friday saw Pam and Fran pinning a quilt with two more strippy quilts laid out on the back wall ready for the Saturday volunteers to assemble them.
