They successfully trashed Katherine's house once again! ![]() ![]() ![]() Gaynor also met Magda, a long-time supporter of LQUK, at her home in Glasgow. LQUK had accumulated a fair amount of fabric that was unusable - mostly pillowcases that come with duvets that we purchase for the backs of quilts. Magda is linked with a project in Poland that makes comfort pillows for children and adults, so it was a good fit to pass this fabric on to her. Thank you Magda, and good luck with the project. Here is a picture of Gaynor and Magda: ![]() Gaynor has also been touring the Ponden Mill shops of Northern England taking advantage of their 70% off childrens' duvets sale!
