Horsham Patchwork Quilters’ group has donated 22 quilts to Grampians Health’s palliative care nurses for cancer patients.

Quilters’ group president Lea Crammond said the response within the group was overwhelming.

“I asked who would be interested in making and donating new quilts,” Mrs Crammond said.

“Some ladies have made and donated multiple quilts – the group has been so generous.”

Mrs Crammond said the quilts, although time-consuming and quite expensive to produce, were a ‘gift of love’.

“The quilts will not only provide comfort, but will also brighten the room and be a lasting memory for families,” she said. 

“We will endeavour to make this an annual gift.

“There’s only so many of our own family members we can make quilts for, and we won’t stop making them, so it’s a win-win situation.”

The group meets each Tuesday at 10am in the gallery above Horsham library, new members are welcome. 

People can call Mrs Crammond on 0417 030 827 for more information.
