Charity Quilts

Hello Again!!!

Today I am going to share some news about a lovely lady and her helpers in making Charity Quilts. Her name is Di Croft and her business is The Quilting Mouse in Bennetts Road, Worrigee - near Nowra.

Just two years ago Di started a do it yourself quilt studio. This is where you can book to learn how to quilt your finished patchwork :) The costs are VERY reasonable and if you dont feel comfortable doing this for yourself, you can leave your patchwork for quilting as well, though I would suggest you make time to learn how to do it yourself. Di also offers lessons in sewing and learning to do patchwork.

The Quilting Mouse has an extensive range of quilt backing materials in an amazing array of colours and prints! The Quilting Mouse uses a high grade quality of quilting cotton - which is always a good thing to use.

To help with the cost of making free Charity Quilts, Di also has a range of 100% cotton quilt fabrics, from Batiks to plains, from psycodelic prints to soft pastels.

Now more about the charity side of the business :-

For many years Di has made quilts for womens and childrens refuges and the not so long ago Victorian Bushfire appeal. Now, today in her modern studio, Di has some lovely helpers, create lap rugs and more.
I was lucky enough to see Di this past weekend, where I was given some of these quilts to share amongst some of my local nursing home patients and some others in the district that I felt needed the warmth and love that they were made with :) I thank her whole heartedly for her generosity.

I have in fact today - already shared a quilt with a lovely aged gentleman, who although has dementia, certainly appreciated this gift :)

Congratulations Di Croft, the world would be a better place if there was more generous, loving people like you!
