What a Great Day - Sew-a-thon.....

What a fantastic day we had at the Sew-a-thon. We had about 30 ladies come and sew and there were 12 left at the end of the night, 9pm.

With all of the generous donations from people we were able to offer fantastic prizes. At the end of the day we raised $2700 to donate to the Keira-lee Williams Appeal. WOW!!!

Thank you to everyone who donated prizes, gifts, money and time.

Below is some photos of the day...

Pink & Purple, Keira's favourite colours....

It wasn't just all sewing. We had loads of chatting, games, raffles, guessing competitions, a sausage sizzle & lots of pink & purple.
