We are currently channelling funds into purchasing quilting fabric from the USA which means donations will stretch a lot further than purchasing at high UK prices. Gaynor's friend in New York (Abby) has kindly agreed that Gaynor can have fabric shipped to her flat, ready for Gaynor to pick up when she visits at Easter. A little tower of boxes has already formed in Abby's flat! News 26 Feb 2012 - 04 Mar 2012Quilt News Katherine and Gaynor are in the process of sorting out the end of February deadline quilts (Isla, Amelia F, Harlum and Tahlia-Annikki). We have four quilters ready to quilt to take on a quilt each - just waiting for the last couple of squares to arrive. Carol P's cross stitch group has been in communication with Gaynor via post and they have already made a start on the squares for Olivia G and Jack G. Thank you, ladies! A lady called Gill saw Katherine in Popular Patchwork magazine this week and recognised her face - it turns out Gill is a quilter who also lives in Bourne and had seen Katherine around the village! Gill is very enthusiastic about LQUK and has already visited Katherine and taken away some Hearts Stitch-a-long squares to make an emergency quilt. New quilter Brenda is hard at work on the Butterflies and Dragonflies squares sent in by Jan - which will be another emergency quilt. We received this lovely photo of Faith L who has had some surgery on her toe this week - hope you are feeling better soon, Faith!  We have had the following message from Iona's mum: Just thought I'd tell you how Iona's quilt has brought her such comfort, she isn't very well at the moment and she gets such comfort from being wrapped up in all that love, thank you so much, from one grateful mum xxx We have also had this message about Callum: Just to let you know that Callum is back in hospital with seizures :( but is the subject of severe quilt envy :) If I had a pound for everyone who wanted to know where Callum got it from...... Finally we have heard that Scott is back in hospital. We send our best wishes to all of the children who are poorly at the moment and hope they will be feeling better soon. Emergency Quilt We had a request this weekend to send Emily B an emergency quilt as she is very ill in hospital with severe breathing difficulties at the moment. As Emily is 17, she has been placed on an adult ward, which is not decorated in a friendly way as the children's wards are, and her mum requested an emergency quilt to make her feel more at home in hospital. We will be sending Emily the Hearts quilt which was quilted by Rebecca a couple of months ago. Obviously this means we will have to discuss what will happen to Emily's original squares, some of which have already been completed and sent in. Gaynor will be contacting everyone about this soon. Get well soon, Emily. x Quilts opened/closed Leon's quilt was opened and closed. Adam G's quilt was opened and closed. Mikey H's quilt was opened and closed. Square News We have received 26 squares this week! Many thanks to all those who stitched them!
