We started in 2007 with a quilt made one very rainy weekend with friends from across Sydney and across the world connected by patchwork and quilting. Our members have included quilters and novices from far and wide - NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland (Australia), New Zealand, Massachusetts and Connecticut (USA), N.Ireland, Cornwall, Shropshire and Wales (UK).
All our quilts are for charity, either raffled to earn money or donated directly to a nearby charity.
Our first Rainbow Connection Quilt (hence the name of our group) has been chosen by a 4 year old boy whose six year old sister has cancer. This was through the 'Quilts for Keeps' program in NSW.
