For quite a while, a lady called Diana donated quilts on a regular basis from Market Harborough. I'm sure she'll forgive me if I say they were rarely complex, but always beautifully made in bright fabrics. I hadn't heard from her for a while, but this week was contacted by her daughter, who said she was no longer able to quilt, and she was keen to donate the quilts which had been finished.
Here is the pile of twelve quilts, with a gentle swan one on the top. I don't know what I'll do when I can no longer sew, but let's hope that's a while coming!
On a cheerful note, Julie and her sister Lynne organised a Bellydance Hafla (it's a performance party which is great fun) in Rugby, and plan to donate any profits to Linus! How kind!
Here are the dancers from a Day of the Dead inspired number. Lynne is seated in the yellow dress and Julie is looking haughty immediately behind her. What fabulous costumes! They invited us down to have a stall at the the show, so we could meet people and share the kinds of things we did, but unfortunately I've been laid low with a heavy cold, and didn't wait to be sniffing and snorting all the way through the show, and certainly didn't want to potentially share my germs with everyone. It was a shame we missed it, but maybe next year we'll get along. Thank you to Diana, Julie and Lynne for supporting Project Linus!
