What a fabulous year for Project Linus in Leicestershire! We have had a total of 243 beautiful quilts donated to children in need of a hug. It's slightly less than last year's total, but then last year we had an unprecedented number of quilts. This year's quilts were donated to children from ADAPT (premature babies), Credo Care (special needs children moving from local authority care into fostercare), Looked After Children in Kettering and Leicester, Women's Aid (children in the refuges in Hinckley and Leicester), Leicester Royal Infirmary, the Diana Service for Children with Life-limiting Conditions and Clic-Sargent. Wow! That's a lot of extra hugs going out there.
I would like to say special thank yous to all the people who have helped in any way, by donating fabric or stuff for my 'rummage box', by buying things from the rummage box, by making blocks, joining blocks, making tops, donating UFOs or tops, or by making quilts. Also those who have been to any of the workshops and submitted to being bossed about by yours truly!
Thank you, thank you, thank you and long may it continue! Happy New Year and happy quilting.
