Elephants!

Today I had a visit from Helenka, who works for East Midlands Foster Care.  We have met before, and she remembered coming to my house to pick up quilts, but she was rather shocked when I showed her her photo on this site, and it was 2014!  Time flies when you don't concentrate!  


She was delighted to pick up 50 quilts, and especially liked this one with elephants on it, as elephants (who never forget you) are part of her organisation's logo!  What a coincidence!  She was very keen that I impress on all who are involved with Linus how grateful they are for the quilts and how much they are valued by staff, parents and children.  She says whenever she visits a young person, the quilt is there on their bed, for all to see.  That's exactly what we like to hear!  Thank you Helenka, and I hope it's not another four years before we meet again!

An ill wind

Poor Jill-Marie has had a miserable winter and been poorly for most of December and January.  I was sad to hear this, but glad that all this time at home has resulted in seven quilts for Project Linus!  


She always makes bright and cheerful quilts, and says they give her lots of pleasure in the making. 
Thank you so much, Jill-Marie, and I'll look forward to seeing you and Colin at some local quilty event soon!
