The Country Women’s Association Woy Woy Branch has brought memories to life, gifting a unique 21st birthday present to a local woman.

Quilt maker, Jane Bowtell, said the Association was contacted by ‘Evie’ – a local who asked if the branch could make a quilt for her daughter, Yasmin’s birthday.

Bowtell said Evie brought clothes that Yasmin wore as a baby, toddler and young child.

“Wendy and I set to work and produced this memory quilt for her to give to her daughter,” Bowtell said.

“We caught up with them both last week and were thrilled to learn that Yasmin cherishes her quilt and remembers wearing many of the clothes.

“She was also very touched when many of her friends thought it was one of the most beautiful 21st gift she could receive.”
