Quilts for flood survivors

Some of the quilts.

Members and friends of Quart Pot Quilters of Stanthorpe have been busy making quilts to help out families in the Lismore area who have lost everything in the recent floods.

On Saturday, 4th June, members of Quart Pot Quilters presented 50 quilts to Jann LeLievre, President of Quota Alstonville, during her visit to Stanthorpe. Jann has assured our group that all quilts will be distributed directly to pre-school children and other needy families in the area when they are able to return to their schools and homes.

Our members who have been happily making these quilts are continuing to make more and are very grateful for the continuing generous donations of fabrics and funds to enable the purchase of more, and in particular to the Stanthorpe Lions Club for their donation of quilt batting.

Quart Pot Quilters always welcome new members and visitors to their regular gatherings each Wednesday at the Baptist Church Hall on the corner of Hillcrest and Railway Streets in Stanthorpe. We are a very diverse group who practice all forms of stitchcraft.
