We have been wondering what we are going to do with the funds made at our up coming Exhibition. We saw an article it the Evening Telegraph about Matthew Malloys fundraiser too buy him a specialist bed as he has to be tube fed through the night. They have raised over £4500 so far and needed a further £849 to reach their target. So we gave them a call and pledged the final amount.

This afternoon Matthew and his Mum & Dad came along to collect the cheque and a quilt to go with it. We thought on Friday afternoon that it would be nice for Matthew to have a snuggle quilt to put on his new bed , so on Saturday Lynda & Jo worked like trojans and pieced the quilt top and the backing and Lesley sat this morning and got it quilted and bound. Some going!
