Making the Koala Quilt - Fundraiser Auction - 126 hand embroidered koalas by 90+ stitchers

penguinandfish.com/koala-quilt
The Koala quilt was made with love by over 90 stitchers from around the world to support wildlife endangered during the Australian wildfires of January 2020.
This video shares the process of sewing donated Koala embroideries from the Penguin & Fish community into the Koala quilt. The quilt was assembled and quilted by Alyssa Thomas, owner of Penguin & Fish and her mom, Patricia.
The Koala Quilt will be auctioned from November 16 - 23, 2020 with proceeds of the auction and Koala t-shirt and coffee mug sales going to Australians for Animals.
"Australians for Animals" is an organization that has been helping Koalas for over 30 years. During the January 2020 wildfires, they "adopted" smaller Koala and other in-need animal shelters that weren't receiving the millions of dollars that large foundations were getting. They helped provide food, medical supplies, and other needs to help these smaller, more-in-need shelters. Through their political, scientific, and legal endeavors, "Australians for Animals" is continuing to protect Koalas and their habitat. We're excited to help.
Check out penguinandfish.com/koala-quilt to purchase t-shirts, coffee mugs, and the Koala embroidery pattern to help donate.
