Quilts for fire victims
I dropped two of Mum's quilts into the Salvation Army at Traralgon tonight - they have so many donations it looks like it will take forever to sort them.
So at the moment, people will have something to wear, and I didn't check the bedding - but if the rest is anything to go by, they will have immediate bedding.
It is later they will need the things that are just that little bit better, and a little bit more meaningful.
So my quilting co-conspirator and I have six of Mum's in hand, being backed/bound. And she is looking through hers.
Should anyone wish to donate to the people of Gippsland (and this is not in any way to detract from places elsewhere, who have also lost people, in many cases more than our 21 people), I know the Gippsland Emmergency Relief Fund. They are practical, and every cent goes to the people, as all administration is carried out by volunteers. I have seen them at work since 1977. My money has gone to them.

My hubby's family is far north of you guys, but we have good friends here in the states who lived in Marysville for years - so sad. Just keep us up to date on what we can all do.
Glad to hear you're ok.
Have you left us forever????? We miss you.... Hope all is ok..
Thanks for the links to such great blogs. I like to see what's new
also and I just love to find someone showing how something is done!
