News 28 May 2011 - 04 Jun 2011Quilt News No quilts have been delivered this week, but lots of work is going on in the background. Joan has been working on Callum's quilt and it was posted yesterday. Joy and Joyce are working on Jack B and Max P's quilt and Liz is working on Faith's quilt. Joanne has completed the World Landmarks quilt! We are absolutely delighted as we have had these squares on our hands for a long time - prior to the Popular Patchworking magazine article we were snowed under just keeping up with the named child quilts. However, Joanne has completed the quilt for us, and it looks absolutely fab! We will keep the quilt for an emergency request - when it comes, we'll be able to send it out straight away. A big thanks to Joanne for her efforts!   Quilts opened/closed Alfred O's quilt was closed (Penguins) Square News We have received 12 squares this week! Many thanks to all those who stitched them!

We received this photo of Abigail who currently has her quilt with her in Bristol Children's Hospital - get well soon, Abbie! 
We received this news about Scott: "Scott is back in hospital and many people have commented on how beautiful his quilt is and how talented you all are. When people look at it he signs thank you! He likes to sign 'car' and points at the ambulance on the material (he's been in one too many times). Scott has very little energy, so often likes anything that he can look at,and his quilt is so bright and fun. He has settled tonight stroking the square with mater on. It is nice to know there are lovely people out there who care about our special kids. xxx" And Corey-Jack: "Lil Corey-jack has been very poorly again and guess what was the only thing he wanted! Yep you got it his Love Quilt! xxx" Square News We have received another large square haul this week - 34 squares! Many thanks to all those who stitched them and also to Katherine who painstakingly uploaded pictures of them all!
