Monthly Meeting - 24 June

Today we celebrated Sunshine Linus's 14th Birthday with a lovely morning tea beautifully presented by our wonderful catering team who do a great job every week but really went that step further this week. Thank you ladies.  Judie Bellingham, who was one of the founding members, gave an overview of how Sunshine Linus started and grown over the years.

Variety of cakes, slices, sandwiches and

 sausage rolls

Val having one last cuddle of the Kanyini bears she has been lovingly collecting throughout the year for Buderim Private Hospital to celebrate NAIDOC week 7-14 July 2024.  This year our total was 105 bears.

Our President Sharon and Claire were invited to Palmview Special School for a thank-you morning tea.  They were surprised when presented with a special painting the children had made in appreciation for all of the lovely wall hangings, song mats and other items they have received.  

"The painting represents the transformation of our students at Palmview Special School. Who continue to amaze and surprise us everyday."

Inspired by the story "Fuzzy Doodle"

Activity Day - 10 June

 Another successful Activity Day where we were shown at least 3 Quilt As You Go techniques by Sharon and everyone was eager to share their techniques and tips and tricks.  Also a group were guided by Sue, sorting notions, patterns etc from the 'freebie table'. Another group led by Glorianne sorted through the boxes of materials to hopefully make it easier to find material for the next quilt, bag, clothing item etc.
