Donations
There are many ways you can donate to help us!Fabric
If you would like to donate fabric that we can use towards one of the quilts, please send to Katherine (address on Contact page). Any length, colour or pattern is fine, although we are most in need of plain colour fabrics. The largest length we use is approximately 2 metres/yards, but we use shorter lengths for patchwork. Patchwork fabric should be 100% cotton. We also take duvet covers which we use on quilt backs, we will accept polycotton for these.
Aida/Threads etc
If you know of anyone who has any unwanted aida or threads, we will be happy to take them and distribute to any of our stitchers who would use them to stitch squares for us
Quilt Costs
It costs approximately £35 to make up each quilt (fabric is expensive in the UK!) and post it to the child. This is a conservative estimate and does not include activities such as laundering fabric/finished quilt. If you would like to help towards the cost of the quilts and for postage, you may do so in the following ways:
* Cash donations - Please enclose a £1 coin (or more!) with your square.
* Cheques - Please make payable to "LoveQuiltsUK"
* Paypal - You can also donate using Paypal - this is particularly useful for our International contributors.
