PRESENTATION OF QUILTS TO BRAIDWOOD NURSING HOME AND NARBETHONG HOUSE FRAIL AGED HOSTEL
Just before Christmas June, Jan and Cecily accompanied by representatives from the Lions Club and Lodge of Truth, (see full list of donors in article below) whose generous donations assisted with the making of the quilts, presented 28 quilts to the residents of the nursing home and the hostel.
All the residents were asked to choose their quilt and much fun and enjoyment ensued as the quilts were sorted through looking for favourite colours and designs. All the residents and staff agreed that the quilts were beautiful and were a fantastic Christmas present that will be really appreciated during the winter months.

BRAIDWOOD QUILTERS VISIT NARBETHONG, VICTORIA
June, Jill, Carol, Jenny and Rhani, ably assisted by co-driver Robert, travelled 800 kms each way to visit the town of Narbethong in the fire ravaged region of Victoria on Sunday and Monday, April 26 and 27. We delivered the results of our Narbethong Project which many Braidwood quilters and friends have worked on since February 7- 100 Bush Spirit bags (containing all the small necessities of life), 30 quilts, 30 fruitcakes and the “Us on Monday” friendship group provided a fabulous morning tea. We met Jo Kasch who is working out of the Black Spur Inn and is the ‘on ground’ co-ordinator for the Narbethong relief effort, together with other women who have been touched by the dreadful fires. There is too much to tell in this space but the trip has been well documented and the full story will be told at a later date.
