Central Coast Handweavers Spinners and Textile Arts Guild has handed over 28 beautifully designed and made quilts to the NSW government’s Family and Child Protection Unit.
A Guild spokesperson said the designs of the quilt were varied and showcased members’ preferences.
“Some were modern and some traditional, but (all had) great colours which should appeal,” the spokesperson said.
“Some quilts even had a matching carry bag.
“We are most grateful to Adrienne for her generosity in machine quilting most of the quilts …. it really finishes them off and also makes them serviceable.
“There were also three crocheted ‘weighted’ blankets which were requested last year.”
The spokesperson said the Guild had also been making Aussie Hero Quilts and laundry bags for defence personnel.
“A supply of Blankets of Love for the neonatal nurseries at our two main hospitals were also beautifully stitched and have been delivered.
“Some members also stitched wildlife pouches, rescue dog beds, and knitted lamb jumpers.
“There never seems to be an end to needs in the community.”
