Thank You for dropping by
Redhatters are a group of women who, regardless of their current ages (generally over 50), are looking for other women to interact with in a social arena. These ladies strive to bring unity amongst the sisterhood at group level and also extend those friendships to others at every opportunity.
Members of groups are encouraged to participate as freely and as frequently as they personally feel able, sharing their individuality by creative expression with others. Time together is designed to have fun by taking a temporary 'time out' from day-to-day responsibilities in positive and friendly environments. Ladies allow themselves the opportunity to celebrate this stage of their life, encouraging one another to laugh deeply in harmony.
There is something magical in the transformation of ladies dressed in purple with a red hat, either individually or collectively, that creates a beautiful and carefree appearance, just like little girls that look for every opportunity to play and create happiness in the moment.
On these pages you will find Australian Redhatters at play – with maybe a little bit of seriousness in the mix.
All groups are invited to send their news for inclusion by emailing the Editor.
If you are not already a red hatter and this idea interests you, or you feel it may interest someone you know, you are welcome to email this site for more information about joining the many groups around the country as listed on the “Contacting Groups” page.
Maybe a reader may have her own story to share about her involvement in the Redhat movement. Or a group may like to add their combined tribute about redhatting, or about a Queen or particular member.
Please consider penning your words and email with some photos, and your story will be appreciated by many.
All correspondence, submissions and enquiries can be sent to mmrose@ozemail.com.au

Here is a feel good article:
What a wonderful gesture!!. Queen Josephine Laugh A Lot and her Red Hat Revellers of Beerwah have been crocheting granny squares to make quilts for Victoria's fire victims, once again demonstrating that being a Red Hatter also means that we show compassion and care about those of us that are going through difficult times. "It makes me proud to belong to a such a group", relays Queen Mother, Margeurite.
The photo shows Duchess Di of Craftsville Manor and Lady Gregarious Gloria, without whom this project would not have happened and QM Margeurite.
Using the “hatting connections”, the quilts will find their way to those affected through connecting with Queen Kerry in Rowville who has contacts with the local CFA at Monbulk which is not that far away from some of the fire areas in the Yarra Valley. One is Waverly Patchworkers and the other is Mrs Martin's quilt shop in Monbulk through which arrangements have been made for many quilts to be distributed.
CONGATULATIONS to the ladies and all those concerned, so that this kind and compassionate gesture can be appreciated by many.
