Presentation in Mogo

Three members of our group availed themselves of a few free days to go down the coast and make a personal presentation to Janine who runs Hidden Treasures in Mogo. For her it has been a year of loss, in personal ways and in the physical loss of property in the terrible fires which swept through Mogo in January. It was our great pleasure to make her a quilt, in blue, so her connection in the group requested for her. Then to be able to personally give it to her was just great, job done!
 
Here is the handover of the freshly-made quilt "Coastal Blues". Note the burnt out trees behind us which are struggling to recover.

Driving up the Clyde mountain, the extent of destruction is obvious.

We took advantage of the rest of the time at the coast to walk the gorgeous beaches, visit the lookouts, hope to see whales on their travels (we didn't see any), visit not one but four different patchwork shops and relax in a lovely house in Broulee. The shops were Steph's Fabrics in Broulee, Rosemont the Patchwork shop in Mogo, Bay Discount Fabrics/Patchwork on the Bay in Batemans Bay and on the way home we visited The Braidwood Quilt Store. Needless to say, there was a fair bit of washing and ironing involved when I returned with more than I had taken. I even managed to finish the hand binding on a quilt as I was not the driver.

  1. Three great days for a great cause. Gift a quilt, support the local shops and spend some time with friends in a beautiful part of the world. Much quilt talk has been achieved. Thanks girls :)
