Here she is holding a lovely pink one with ballerinas on it. Lots of the quilts were the small prem baby size, so luckily she didn't need a removal van to transport them all. She said how much they are valued by the families which receive them. One family (of a baby who unfortunately didn't make it) have framed their Linus quilt and have it hanging on their stairs with a photo of the baby inside the frame. I think it's good, in time of need, to know that others are thinking of you. Lyn Antill, who is the British President of Project Linus, says our motto is 'a quilt is a hug you can keep'. It sums it all up perfectly!
This quilt was left at Rocheberie with some others by a lady who didn't wnat to hold them up for show and tell 'because they weren't very good'. How wrong she was! The quilts were all lovely, and had snuggly fleece backings. Some, like this one, were made from lovely muted japanese fabrics, 
and others were made from the brights many children love! This would cheer anyone up!
Kath also used fleece to finish this quilt, which makes it doubly snuggly, as the Christmas designs are flannel. Very comforting!
Caroline had made this one from a panel and machine quilted it with her favourite loop-de-loop pattern. Very suitable. 
And this quilt was made from pinwheels left over from a swap. They are perfectly complimented by the hearts, and have made a delectable quilt!
MYSTERY SOLVED!
In the last post, I showed a bag of quilts which had been left at my door with no clue as to who had left it. When I got to Rocheberie, Kay asked if I had received the bag of quilts she'd sent via her daughter. Apparently her daughter was instructed to give them to me, or if I wasn't in, to leave a note saying who they were from! Children! How do we cope with them!
