- When you join the Rainbow Connection Quilters we ask for a coin or note donation into the kitty.
- When you attend one of our quilting weekends you can put a gold coin in the kitty.
- When you join (or we run out) we also ask for a donation of 1 metre of fabric and a block design (wrapped so it can't be identified) for our Mystery Metre Quilts for charity. These are kept in our Lucky Dip basket (below) until needed. We still have 3 lucky dips which should keep us going until 2010.
- If you can't afford anything that is OK and we certainly don't want any foreign currencies as these cost money to exchange. Overseas and other distance members can just donate their fabric and block design and pay for return postage of their blocks etc.
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.
