Lions Cuddle Quilts











Here are some of the cuddle quilts that some of our very busy quilters have made recently for the Gin Gin Lions Club. These quilts are given to sick children in our area to help make their hospital visits a little easier.

Our Girls Weekend

Well, what a weekend we had. We had heaps of fun as well as raising lots of money for the Lions Medical Research Foundation. Barb is our Sewing Champion! She won the sew off, finally competing with good friend Lyn. As you can see there was some foul play resulting in Barb getting back to the table first with her finished block. Thank goodness Lyn is such a good sport. A huge thank you must go to everyone who helped make our weekend a success and a special thank you to those who traveled from Bundaberg, Biloela, and Howard.

More from Di.


Di’s nephew was only 7 months old when he got this quilt for Christmas 2009. Di found the material over a few random shopping trips and thought they were cute. She didn’t know then what she’d use them for, but knew immediately what they were for when her nephew was born in May. Di’s sister loves it and assures her that it will be used and well loved.

Christmas Gifts Made by Elfi

Elfi originally started this one for her friend in Florida and then with the pink in it thought it was too "girlish" for a lady of advanced years.... (Elfi's words) Her 3 year old grand-daughter happened to see it and grabbed it and wouldn't let it go, as they do. So it ended up being a very loved Christmas gift for her.

Elfi made this one for a Christmas present for her 6 year old grand-son after he admired the panel at Spotlight and mentioned he would like to have a quilt with that picture.
