Thank you both, Wendy and Jacky, for these lovely quilts !

Many students have told me about scary sewing teachers they had at school. My classes are the antidote ! I aim to make sewing fun and accessible for anyone wishing to learn, whether you want to learn how to use a sewing machine, make a dress, curtains, a quilt - or anything else.

Many apologies to Lou, whose name I managed to leave off the “list” yesterday of people who had made quilts for the latest delivery. She contributed 3 splendid quilts, and here are some photos of just one of them. It’s hard to say which is the front and which is the back ! She’s also got a brilliant label, which includes care instructions. Thanks, Lou, and to all the other makers 😀👍

Earlier this week, we dropped off the latest Cwtch quilt delivery to the Children’s Hospital. My usual contact, Tina, had to take her son for an appointment, so we were greeted by two of her colleagues, and sadly I didn’t get their names. But they were delighted ! A big thank you to all the quilters who contributed this time - Jacky, Anna, Terri, Ann and Wendy. I even managed an incubator quilt myself !

Terri dropped off a couple of gorgeous quilts a few days ago - here she is with one of them. I’m also accumulating a whole wiggle of wiggly bags - plus generous offerings of Beads of Courage bags, knitted bonding hearts ….. incubator and other quilts !! Do get in touch if you have something but can’t deliver it to me. Many thanks - diolch !!
