Bush Fire Appeal Update

I just wanted to give you a quick update as to how the appeal is going. So far I have received nearly 30 completed quilts, and half that again as quilt tops (which I'm slowly getting done!) Plus there are a lot more on the way. It's just fantastic - so thanks to all of you who have contributed or donated via Red Cross etc. Some have already been delivered, others will be delivered in the very near future.

I've started a Flickr set to showcase the quilts. I haven't photographed them all yet (but I will!!) - so this is a mosaic of a most of them :o) So much colour can only bring happiness to these children.

Jess you are doing a wonderful thing for people who really need comfort at this time. It is heartwarming to see all the people who have donated quilts. Keep up the good work.
