New Term - and an Appeal !!

 Wednesday evening sessions have re-started and Gillian brought in her completed wall-hanging all made with wool and tweed fabrics, and a foraged stick to hang it from


 Jackie is expecting her first Grandchild - (exciting times!!) She had fabulous £5 find - this new moses basket - and has added a string of bunting and a lovely little quilt to Posh it up!


all ready for the new arrival
 She has also taken advantage of some time off work to make a quilt for said baby
 and completed her Fold and Stitch Wreath.  Well done Jackie! 
Time to get back to school for a rest !!!

We have seen Maggie's quilt being progressed over some time now


 And now it is finished

 Lots of work has gone into this lovely piece




 Well done Maggie!

And now the appeal

I don't know how many of you have seen  The Sanctuary Night Shelter appeal for single bedding for their clients.  When they move on from the shelter into permanent accommodation they take they bedding that they have been using with them. Some of it has been used inside the shelter and some has been used sleeping "rough" when there is no room at the Sanctuary.

If anyone has any spare SINGLE Duvet covers and a pillowcase too - any colour or style - that they are able to donate, would you please bring to group so that we may get them to the Shelter. 
(if you have double duvet covers I think we could make two from one?!?) 

I love the feel of new or just clean sheets,  so I had a word with the committee and a couple of members, and we (the group)  have purchased 6 complete sets (Duvet + Duvet cover - pillow and pillowcase and a fitted sheet) and have taken these already. 

 This whole order cost the group £114.80 !  Not so much as to make a hole in our funds but will make 6 people feel that they are supported.
