Many services of "Blessings of the Bonnets" have been undertaken at churches around Australia. These services have provided a place for the women who were so appallingly treated to be recognised and honoured now...their invaluable contribution to our society and ultimately to our culture ...finally recognised.
13,000 bonnets will be shown in Birmingham, England as part of the Festival of Quilts in 2010.
Meanwhile Norma Bean and her partner will be at a booth at the NEC Show Birmingham in August this year to publicise next years installation of bonnets.
Norma Bean belongs to the Embroiderers Guild and there has been strong interest for Roses from the Heart(tm) from members of this Organisation both locally and Nationally throughout the UK. Christina is very appreciative of this support.
