I can’t believe that I haven’t posted for so long! The quilts have been coming in and going out, as usual.
Ward 27 of the LRI had 50 quilts, which is so lovely. One of the nurses commented that the quilts would brighten up the ward, to which another pointed out that they don’t stay on the ward but go home with the recipients. She went on to say that some of the children come back into hospital again, “and they bring their quilts with them, so they know they’re in a safe place!”
Here we are in their sensory area.
In November I contacted Women’s Aid, who were keen to have some quilts for the children in their refuges. I went over to Aldi in Leicester as a handover point, and a lovely lady collected the quilts. She wanted to stay incognito, but was happy to choose a quilt to display.
Recently I have had requests from Jay Fostering (20 quilts) and the Lutterworth Foodbank (20 quilts) so my stock is pleasantly low ish. So far this year the total is 398, which is an amazing number, and we have all of December to go!
