Meeting in the park

We have continued to have socially distanced Knit and Stitch meetings in the park, and the weather has mainly been kind to us. it has been lovely to meet up and have a quilty chat, and the show and tell was excellent, as usual! Here we are, with Martha showing the quilt top she has assembled from some of the blocks donated from the late Sylvia Palmer's stash. She has made a great job of them. We actually had two meetings, one with me, Martha, Fiona, Naomi, Heather and Anne-Marie, and then a separate one with Paula, Maria and Julie. Currently we are in the age of 'the rule of six' so didnt want to fall foul of the law!

I havent been accepting quilts recently, as I have had so many that my cupboard would barely close! But then I have been able to donate some, so can build up the stocks again.

Firstly i was able to donate quilts to Baby Basics, a charity which provides equipment for new Mums in need. unfortunately Laura had had to pop out, but we left them in her porch. Next i went over to Andrea's to take quilts for Looked After Children. sorry she's a bit out of focus! Then I had a visit from Asha, who is a health visitor in the Saffron Lane area of Leicester. She took 80 quilts for needy children in that area! Way to go! I am hoping to book an inside venue for our meeting in November, then we can dodge the weather and flying footballs! Contact me if you want to come along.
