News 22 Nov 2011 - 27 Nov 2011Quilt News Two quilts were delivered this week! Faith L's quilt:  Ollie K's quilt:  We also had a large train square from Sue in Birmingham that was too big for a quilt, so Katherine made it into a pillow-case for Ollie's twin brother Louis, so he wouldn't feel too left out:  With many thanks to all the stitchers and Melanie and Janet respectively for assembling the cross stitch squares into blocks :) Magazine stardom! We are appearing in two magazines this month!

Scott We have heard that Scott who received a quilt from us earlier this year, is poorly at the moment. Scott's mum, Christine sent us this message: "Hi, my little man Scott received one of your quilts back in may and he is now a very poorly little guy. We are going to the Children's Hospital in Oxford tomorrow where he will have surgery on Tuesday. He never does well with anaesthetic and this surgery is his last chance before his care is switched to palliative.If you are religious please include him in your prayers and if you are not please just cross your fingers! Thank you x" We will keep you and Scott in our thoughts, Christine. New Helper Katherine's son James has been helping her to assemble Alice B's quilt this week. Well done James :)
