More happy quilts

Hannah, the play specialist at Ward 27 of the LRI contacted me to say they were very low on quilts and could I bring some more.  Normally it's not a problem, but unusually, I didn't have many quilts in store!  But since Rocheberie was looming, and there was a challenge to be judged, I guessed there would be quilts donated then.  Luckily, Hannah was able to wait a couple of weeks and so Paula and I went over on Monday and delivered 36 lovely quilts. 


Here we are (Hannah is the one with the ears!) with a bright Bonnie Hunter scrappy design.  I'm sure the young people on Ward 27 will think it's fun!

Project Linus at the Coalville Quilt Show

Quilt shows have been like buses recently.  You don't go to one for ages, and then three come along all in a row!  Helen very kindly invited us over to Coalville to fly the Linus flag and luckily Julie and Maria were able to go and set up a stall. 


It looks unmanned to me, but I imagine that Julie was taking the photo, and Maria refused to be in it!  There are plenty of quilts on show, plus a demo, and lots of people stopped by to say hello.  


The show itself was a little smaller than the last two we went to, but the standard was just as good, and as varied. 


Here you can see a Dear Jane finished quilt.  Awesome!  Thank you for inviting us, and well hope to come again next time!
