About Me

Maureen
Over the past 30 years I've explored many forms of needlework,and found CQ ideal for indulging my passion. These days however I'm venturing into other elements: Needle felting with my Xpressions needle punching machine;Journal quilts,postcards and ATCs Cats? I'm a sucker for cats: these days my pride of four is no more ,after the deaths of my Princess, and my Duchess in February2011. But I firmly believe "that somewhere a cat is waiting" I'm just not sure WHEN it will happen. And happen it did! Sam is my love now. A beautiful natured Abyssinian who came to me via a dear friend

Help for our Bushfire victims in South Australia

I have been working with a group at my local quilt shop making cot quilts for an Orphanage in Sri Lanka, and you know the old adage
"Charity begins at Home"..................

"Dear Maureen,

A few days ago I received a beautiful letter from a reader, Katrina Watters, who lives near Yorketown on Yorke Peninsular. Katrina wanted to do something positive for those women affected by the Black Tuesday bushfires and has requested donations of needlework supplies to help them get back on their feet.

Here is her letter (in part):

'Every Friday five of us very enthusiastic ladies meet and share our passion for needlework. After hearing about the Eyre Peninsula fire, we decided that we would love to help in some way and thought we could donate some of our excess needlework supplies ... books ... kits... just anything that might make someone's day a little brighter. If we get quite a bit, we hope to drive the 8 hour trip over and deliver it personally.'

If you have any supplies that may help, could you please send them to 'Bushfire Appeal', Country Bumpkin, 315 Unley Road, Malvern, South Australia 5061 and I will ensure Katrina receives them.

Thanks in advance for your generosity.

Warm wishes,


Margie Bauer
