Nearing the Climax of our Journey.

I am nearly at the climax of our journey. 2 sleeps until we set up the quilt show and then 2 days of the quilt show and after that we need to pass the quilts out. That will be a hard job to do.Making sure the quilts get into the right hands ,and all homes get one.We received 15 quilts back from a quilter at 3.30pm today which need binding by Friday 2 days away!!! I hope we are up to the task. We have obtained the use of a huge room at the trotting complex for free.A local carrier is picking up 150 quilt stands from Victorian Quilters Inc. and will take them back again for us. There is a big working bee on Friday to set up the stands and hang the quilts. As we do not have sleeves on them we will be pinning 2 quilts together back to back and draping them over the top.We have 298 quilts of varying size here ready. Poor Ineke from Tasmania has had a fall and hurt her wrist and shoulder and is unable to get here with the quilts made from the other 2 check points.We will get them late but never mind better late than never. We also have a raffle quilt and the tickets are selling themselves.  The proceeds will go to the local Lions club who will give us back all we need to cover our costs.I went on the local radio station today and spoke about the quilts for Carisbrook. It was a bit nerve racking but HEY someone had to do it

Back again

I have been very busy this last week with Easter and famoily and also still organising  Quilts for Carisbrook. I will have help from Iris tomorrow to box up 25 tops abd backs and a roll of wadding for Lisa Schirrmer to quilt 10  backing wadding and btops for Gayle, and 4 sets for Sherrie.These will go off by courier on Tuesday. I am striving to get as many s possible back by the end of May to have the display and the handover. It is very exciting. I am almost out of backing and will need to organise more.The girls are getting tires but as Jan from Shsta Valley said  there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not the train !!!
I will upload some pictures tomorrow.
