The temperature has certainly dropped - there is snow is falling at Marysville, and we need to think of the comfort of those bushfire survivors who are living in caravans and temporary accomodation with very little.
A friend of mine has been involved in making some quilts to donate to survivors. They have had fabric donations and raided their stashes and now have over 45 quilts. However now they need to raise some money in order to have them professionally quilted and get out to the survivors. So if you can help out in any way here are the details for their quilt hanging:
