In Queensland the flooding rains have eased. It has left behind a trail of widespread destruction and an imprint on the minds and hearts of every Australian. We will not forget the images we've seen, the stories, the loss of life, and the pain on the faces of so many people.
Images found here.
It is very much a matter of urgency to raise money for the Queensland Flood Appeal, and rather than wait till Monday, there is every reason to get this Auction started now.
This Auction is for The Colorstory Quilt. This quilt is made from 100 percent cotton fabrics, batting and thread. It measures 47 inches x 62 inches and it is new and unused.
