Patchwork donation to hospital
Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre patchwork quilt class has made two small quilts to be donated to the Gosford Hospital Auxiliary.
"The patchwork class has a long history of quiet generosity, having made and donated two quilts to the Gosford Hospital Auxiliary to be raffled in the past," said newsletter editor Ms Dorothy Mulholland.
"The first was a teddy bear quilt which was organised by the late Margaret Hannaford.
"The second was a double country quilt, much of which was designed by Yvonne Robinson," she said.
The patchwork class had also donated several dozen small hats for premature babies to the neonatal ward of Gosford District Hospital.
"When my grandson Tyran was born, it was found that the neonatal ward of Gosford District Hospital was short of very small hats for premature babies, so the patchwork classes made several dozen little hats in all sorts of bright colours and donated them to the premature ward in Tyran's name," she said.
