💫💞 Caring Quilters Donate to Corumbene 💫💞
At Corumbene, we are lucky enough to be supported by our generous community, especially those that are talented with crafts.
Recently, the group known as the Caring Quilters gifted Corumbene’s residents 5 handmade quilts. There was a lot of emotion as one of the residents remarked that the flowers reminded them of their grandma. Another resident thought they had won the quilt while one gentleman wanted to gift his quilt to his darling wife.
Marguerite Ross and her friends, Val, Lorraine, Stella and Marian, are known as the Caring Quilters who spend their time knitting and quilting beautiful bed coverings for those in the community. Marguerite has a special connection with Corumbene as her mother, Patricia Tuttle, was a resident. When her mum was a resident, she had colourful quilts in her room that other residents would admire and borrow. This inspired Marguerite to make a vow in her late mother’s name to make quilts for each resident so they can have a stunning bed covering of their own.
Every week, Marguerite meets with the Caring Quilters, and she knits while they quilt. Though the group is small, and getting smaller, their determination is tireless, and they continue to produce lovely bed coverings. They enjoy seeing photos of the Corumbene residents enjoying the quilts they make.
Thank you, Marguerite and the Caring Quilters for your gorgeous quilts!
