International Womens Day
Queensland Quilters are assisting Bev Parel (Maleny Magic Patchwork) by providing blocks in Purple Green & White so that she can achieve her goal of making 50 quilts by 8 March 2025.At a Queensland Quilters meeting in the second half of last year, Bev Perel gave a very interesting presentation on International Women's Day, which is held on 8 March every year. In 2025, it will be 50 years since the United Nations gazetted the date in Australia.
Bev's aim is to have 50 quilts to display for 2025.
I made 2 blocks last year - but didn't take pictures, so I have highlighted my blocks on these photos that Bev has sent through.
They are hard to see....but it's just for me so I have a reminder.
Australian Melanoma Research Foundation
Echidna Sewing has launched "Echidna Flowers In The Sun - a Community Project" for the Australian Melanoma Research Foundation.. The request was to make the logo in blue & yellow. The pattern was available for purchase at $5 - the proceeds going to the foundation.Echidna say:
"Our aim for this community project is to create a symbol of hope and solidarity for all those who have been touched by melanoma, and a reminder of the need for more research and action to fight this disease.
I recently lost a good friend to Melanoma. :😧

You've created some nice donation pieces, Susan. I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband dodged a bullet a few years ago. Dermatology appointments are so very important.
nice to be part of the quilts.....
Wow. That will be good if so many quilts get made.
I am so sorry, Susan. I too just lost one of my dearest friends to cancer. It still hurts. I feel like I should do a post about it, but I am still processing it.
