They also went on a few nice walks around the Gower Coast:  Two quilts have been delivered since our last update: Chantelle J's quilt (Flowers with butterflies and dragonflies) - quilted by Carol:  Imogen A's quilt (Flowers with butterflies/dragonflies) - quilted by Valerie:  We also have an emergency quilt in the post to Melody D quilted by Rebecca.

There are many quilts being made up at the moment - these include Lilly M, Paddy B, Riordan S, Scarlett R, Sophie R, Teddy T and Tommy C. We thank the quilting volunteers for their enthusiastic response for taking these quilts on :) We have also sent out 6 quilt packs to new quilters Heather and Leanda - these ladies have been cross stitchers with us for quite a while and have recently taken quilting classes.
