Over twenty years ago, the Burdekin Patchwork and Quilters found a way to turn their hobby into a way of giving back. Every year since, they've been patching the community with care, creatively repurposing their excess material and generously donating it to local organisations that need it more.
This year was no different. On the 23rd of July, the group delivered a trolley full of freshly crafted knee rugs to the Regis Aged Care Centre in Ayr, where they'll bring warmth, colour and joy to the residents who call Regis home.
"We use them every day," said Regis Lifestyle Coordinator Kristy. "Our residents really appreciate them. They're just bright, colourful and bring joy to everyone."
In the past, the Burdekin Patchwork and Quilters have donated a vast array of items to organisations and institutions such as Meals on Wheels and Townsville Hospital, among many others.
The group meets regularly at the CWA Centre, stitching together all things from bed covers, to handbags, and plenty more. "We're just a group of ladies that love doing patchwork and handcrafts," says on of its members.
Through the group’s generosity and skilled handiwork, the Burdekin continues to get a little comfier and a lot more colourful.
