Quilt News
This week, Katherine has completed Laura's quilt and it is now in the post. So we hope to bring you news about her quilt next week.

We also received a picture of Jayden with his quilt this week (his was the farm quilt which was delivered back in February):




Meetings in Lincolnshire
Gaynor went up to Lincolnshire to stay with Katherine for a few days this week, and a lot of time was spent sorting out fabric. We got out all the fabric we had and trashed Katherine's living room:





We had a very, very long session of sorting out fabric for quilts on Tuesday night. We now know we have fabric, wadding and backing sorted out for the next 12 quilts, apart from Lilia Rania's which Gaynor will shop for next week.

On Wednesday, we had lots of visitors! They were Karen Guy, Lis Neilsen and Claire Lawrence from Corby Glen, all of whom stitched for Brendan's Tatty Teddy quilt. Also, we met Brendan himself and his mum Denise! Last, but not least, Katherine's sister Vic, our stamp queen, also joined us.

Here is Brendan with his quilt:



And here are all of us with Brendan and his quilt:

Square News
There are a quite a few squares past their due date which is a little worrying to us, particularly those which are now 6 weeks late. Please try to get your squares to us on time. Apart from anything else, we'd rather spend our time quilting than chasing up squares! We've already heard that some late squares are on their way and we will have to dip into the Any Child stocks for the rest if required.

We have received 12 squares this week! Many thanks to all those who stitched them!

Any child squares were received from:

Lucy, Harford Bridge, UK for the Angels/Fairies category

Donations
Thank you very much to those who have given cash donations this week, it is very much appreciated. Also thank you very much to Hannah from the Wiggly Bags Facebook Group who donated some fabric that was unsuitable for Wiggly bags, but fine for us.


And Finally...
We have heard from Cross Stitch Crazy magazine that we have been selected as their Club of the Month! We have won £100 worth of Past Impressions goodies. We will work out how best to use this prize for the benefit of LoveQuiltsUK. Many thanks to Cross Stitch Crazy magazine, we are delighted!

Quilt News
This week, Gaynor has completed Freya's quilt (Rabbit theme) and it has been delivered:





Thank you to everyone who contributed a square for Freya and also mum Roberta for providing us with such cute photos!

Also this week we have received some photos of children with quilts which were delivered in previous weeks:

Aaron:


Elizabeth:


The last square finally arrived for Laura's quilt so Katherine has been working hard on it all week and is now at the binding stage.

The next quilt after Laura's will be Scott's quilt. We have heard that Scott is very poorly at the moment so have decided to move his quilt up. Luckily, all the squares are already in.


Stamps
We have received two large packages of stamps this week from anonymous benefactors - so if you are reading this, thank you very much!


Book Sale
Gaynor has been holding a second-hand book sale at her office in work and has raised £10 so far.
