On Saturday the 20th September Ros Moules, the Community Quilts Co-ordinator, will give a talk about the history of the Community Quilts program of
the Quilters' Guild of NSW Inc. As the contributing members of other Guilds and quilting groups around the world have all found, making and donating quilts and quilt tops to worthy causes and recipients has brought joy - to both the maker and receiver.

Since 1983 the Community Quilts group belonging to the NSW Guild has been making
and donating quilts on behalf of the Guild. It is a voluntary project
where members meet to sew quilts for the community, and to date over
2000 quilts have been donated. On-going commitments are to Royal Far West Children’s Home in Manly and
to foster children in NSW. Quilts are also donated to various nursing
homes and for raffles to raise money for community organisations.

The talk will be given at our new venue for 2014 - The Glover Cottages at 124 Kent Street, Millers Point, Sydney. Guild members pay $5.00 and
non-guild members $10.00 to attend visit. Afternoon tea is provided.
Please bring along any quilts you have
made or are making for any community quilting programme and share them with us.
