A quick short and very sweet Blogpost updating our readers on a delivery of our quilts for despatch via the Billanook College students who participate in their annual Thai Burma trip next month. This is the whole 'crux' and reason for the existence of QFO ... gifting quilts to those in need both local, and in this case ... global. Warms our hearts to be thus involved.
On Tuesday Annette, Christine and I travelled to nearby Billanook College with several bags of quilts which will be taken, along with the Year 11 students, to their working trip to the Thai Burma border.
Their accompanying teacher, Anita, tells us that this years working project will see a food hall being built by the students and that our quilts will be a real blessing to the local children connected to this endeavour.
Anita greeted us at Reception ...
We were also presented with a framed photograph ... held by Christine in the pictures above ... of the children wrapped in the quilts that we gifted them in last years trip by the students of Billanook. I omitted to take a close up photo ... ooops ... but will remedy this in my next Blogpost.
Its always rewarding to see our handiwork wrapped around the recipients .. truly makes our efforts 'real'. Our stitchers have fun recognising quilts that they have either worked on themselves at our gatherings, and our offsite stitchers can see their work too I'm sure. Many thanks Billanook for taking the time and trouble to show us our quilts at their destination :)
Till next post,
Blessings to all,
Susan
