Happy days

 Recently we were delighted to hear that Hinckley Tangent Club had chosen Project Linus for their charity of the year.  We were even more delighted to find that they are generous fund raisers, and have given us over £1,000!  Wow!  We discussed how to spend it, and since wadding and backings are our most difficult items to source, we decided to start with those.  Julie was kind enough to deal with the purchasing, and here is the first load. 


Twelve 10 metre bolts of fabric - enough to back about 100 quilts!  Julie knows the kind of designs we like, ones which are bright and colourful, gender neutral and busy designs (to hide any wobbly quilting!) 

My favourite is the one on the back row with the globes on it. I have a quilt top in my drawer waiting for a backing like this! Which is your favourite?
