It was sad talking to the shop owners in Lancefield yesterday – they are so much closer to the fires and all know directly of people who are affected, who have lost homes, who have lost loved, who have lost school friends………..

But again, it was great to see the sense of community and how everyone is rallying around to help where they can.

‘A Patch of Lancefield’ quilting group has this quilt for raffle……….

It’s all hand pieced and hand quilted!  Tickets are $2 each and it is to be drawn on 19th March with all proceeds going directly to the Bushfire Appeal.  Tickets are available from Harmony Quilts in Lancefield 5429 2347 or you can contact me as I have a few books also.

Cuttings Culinary and Botanica in Main Street Romsey (the next town up from Lancefield) is a gorgeous homewares shop and they are donating all profits from February to the Bushfires Appeal so if you are headed that way be sure to pop in for a look.

And of course there’s Handmade Help and our Quilting Bee (thanks to all the lovely ladies who have offered to help out so far – please email me if you intend on coming along on the day – just to help with planning!)
