Quilts going off to give hugs

 I had quite a lot of quilts in my cupboard, and in the last week I have successfully sent most of them on their way to new homes. 

Firstly I went over to the Living Rock Church in Stoney Stanton, where ‘Pebbles’ is based.  This is an organisation which helps provide baby equipment to mothers in need.  I left 20 quilts there for the organiser, Janet. 

Then Paula and I went up to the LRI to meet Pip from Ward 10 and take 60 quilts.  That should keep them going for a while!  The nurse who is holding the quilt on the left really liked the backing, which was space themed.  She rushed off with it, saying, ‘I know someone who would love this!’ She gave it straightaway to a youngster who adored it (and his mum teared up).  

Then a trip to Market Harborough to Homestart, a charity which supports families.  They had 20 quilts and Stella particularly liked this pink quilt, as it was bright and cheerful. 

Now there is space in my cupboard, but not for long, I predict!
