Chris O’Brien who is the Chair of The Quilters’ Guild of South Australia, met an EB family 10 years ago and was determined to make a quilt to raise funds for DEBRA Australia. Some years later with a collaborative approach, the beautiful quilt came to fruition and was named Paws for a Cause.
It included many hours cutting and hand stitching lots of small circles of fabric. It was then beautifully quilted by Heather Hopkins from Adelaide Sewing Centre.
The quilt was raffled off on the 4th February and the lucky winner was Helene Beresford. As a result $3,7000 was raised and donated to DEBRA Australia to help support families living with EB. A big THANK YOU to Chris and Heather, and everyone involved in making the quilt to selling and buying raffle tickets.
