Kat
Kat has started her chemotherapy this week, we wish her all the best :)


Quilt News
No quilts have been delivered this week, but Mia F's squares and Matthew W's squares have now gone off to their quilters. Skyla C's squares will be going off to her quilter in the next few days as all of her squares have arrived early.

We have also heard from our quilter Vicky that Ollie E's quilt is now complete and will be posted to him in the next few days. :)


Quilts opened/closed
Ava S's quilt was opened and closed.
Daniel L's quilt was opened.


Late Squares
Gaynor has been finding it very time-consuming chasing up late squares, and this month will see a busier time at work so she will have less free time. Late squares cause difficulties when a quilter has been lined up who has a limited time window (eg due to family holidays). Additionally, it means more journeys to the post office (which is tricky as Gaynor works full-time). Therefore we will be enforcing the square deadlines more strictly from this month - ie late squares will be substituted with Any Child squares. Squares arriving after the deadline will be held in our Any Child section for use on a future quilt :)

    Thank you all for your well wishes for Kat over the last two weeks, the outpouring of support has been phenomenal :) We heard yesterday that tests have shown that Kat's lymphs and bone scan are both clear - good news! Kat's chemo will start in mid-September.

    Gaynor visited Kat in Lincolnshire last week and all LoveQuiltsUK materials are now with her in Swansea. Elaine Thomas (Gaynor's mum) is now receiving the squares (please note new address on "Mailing and Contact Details" page)


    Quilt News
    Two quilts were delivered this week, both emergency quilts:

    Lillie-May H's quilt (Hearts (Emergency Quilt)) - quilted by Gill:

    Photo of Lillie-May H's quilt


    We have also delivered an emergency quilt to Poppy H (Mr Men (Emergency Quilt)) - quilted by Kita. We hope to have photos some time in the next week.

    We have also received this photo of Charlie H with his quilt:

    Photo of Charlie H's quilt


    Thank you to everyone who donated squares towards these quilts and also the quilters who put these emergency quilts together so we could send them straight out when the need arose.

    Gaynor is currently sorting out the end of August deadline squares to go for quilting - there are nine quilts to go out, so lots more quilts will be along soon! We have now surpassed last years' quilt total of 46 with four months of 2012 still to go. Thank you to everyone for your wonderful support :)
