A tsunami of quilts!

IMG_0831

It’s been just one month since our last St Mark’s Quilters workshop but in that time these incredible ladies have added eighteen quilts (yes, E.I.G.H.T.E.E.N!) to our collection - seventeen Blankets of Love for RPA Newborn Care and one soft and snuggly flannel quilt for the Marcia Burgess kindy. 

Today almost everyone arrived carrying a freshly completed quilt (some with 2, or even 3) prompting one clever quilter to describe it as a “tsunami” of quilts.

Are you ready? (Get your water-wings on Open-mouthed smile)

St Marks Quilters August 2011

I’m not pleased with how some of the more delicately coloured quilts came out in my photos, but as soon as I can take some better photos you’ll see them “hanging” in our virtual gallery, Blankets of Love (click on the tab above).

In the meantime, here are some photos of quilts that actually do justice to the work of their maker.

And here we all are again, on a glorious late winter day, enjoying the work of our Maker!

Thank you, Lord, for gardens, sunshine and these generous and warm-hearted women.

  1. Thank you, God, for the hands and feet of quilters at St. Mark's who make the quilts, and take their concern and Your love for people wherever they go. Amen!
