URGENT REQUEST FROM QUEENSLAND QUILTERS FOR FABRIC
An urgent phone call from an Queensland Quilter has been received seeking fabric donations. She belongs to two Queensland quilting groups and she and her fellow quilters are frantically making quilts for those in Queensland who have lost everything in the floods.
The two quilting groups have run out of fabric and are desperate for more.
PLEASE CAN YOU HELP?
No amount would be too big or too small. Every bit would be gratefully appreciated.
We need 100% cotton.
I am asking all the quilters and crafters I know for help in this.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY FABRIC SCRAPS, QUILTS OR QUILT TOPS OF ANY SIZE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE, PLEASE SEND THEM TO US. BRING THEM INTO THE SHOP THIS NEXT WEEK, FROM TUESDAY 25 JANUARY TO SUNDAY 30 JANUARY, AND I WILL GIVE YOU A 10% DISCOUNT ON YOUR PURCHASE (not including classes, gift certificates or items already on sale) THAT DAY.
We will then make sure that the fabrics & quilts go to the quilt groups in Queensland and they in turn will ensure the quilts they make will go to those who need them. Many of the people who thought that they had insurance now don't have any as it has been deemed by the powers that it is now not a flood but an act of God. WHAT IS A FLOOD ?
We will be donating fabrics and some quilt tops and we are pleased to advise that New Zealand wholesalers, Tiffanies Treasures, Nutex, Fabco and Ascot Lane have all agreed to support this worthy cause.
I will then send everything down to the Wholesaler who is the coordinator of this appeal, so shipment can be expedited to Australia.
I look forward to seeing masses of fabrics and blocks, and quilt tops coming in next week. Thanks for your help and support in this.
Best Wishes,

Hi there, do you have a contact number for this lady as there are more people and groups making quilts and maybe we should all band together.
