Busy Ladies at Emu Park

Nancy Townsend has encouraged the Thursday Craft Ladies at Emu Park to make blocks. These are made into quilt tops for Project Linus which is a 100% volunteer not for profit organization. Their mission is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children in need.
The quilts are sent to The Royal Children's Hospital, Mater Children's Hospital, Charleville and others.
Quilt tops are sent to Sydney where they have a company donating wadding. A few quilters then complete them.
This is to be an ongoing thing for Emu Park, who sent their first lot off recently and hope to do so every three months or so.
