Buy a quilt for charity

Feb 12 02:38pm

Breast cancer was the last thing on Rosalie Quinlan’s mind in 2006. The mum of three was busy running her quilting business when she was diagnosed. Now, with her treatment completed, Rosalie has designed a special quilt for Better Homes and Gardens that will bring inspiration to all those who have been touched in some way by breast cancer – sufferers, survivors and their families.

To raise money for Cancer Council Australia’s Pink Ribbon Day, Better Homes and Gardens is auctioning off the very special Pink pinwheels quilt Rosalie has designed. Created using donated materials (including the time of quilter Melinda Gibson) this quilt really does wrap with love.

We are pleased to say that the sale of this quilt raised $710. Thank you to everyone who bid.

For more information on Pink Ribbon Day please visit the Cancer Council website. For more on Rosalie Quinlan, her patterns or her book Gift (which also supports Pink Ribbon Day) you can visit her website here.
