Craft Fayre
Many thanks to Mrs E Thomas of Swansea (Gaynor's mum) who did a stall at a Craft Fayre in the local library last Friday. She sold knitted items in aid of LQUK. She also took along the World Landmarks emergency quilt (quilted by Joanne) and the Hearts emergency quilt (quilted by Rebecca) to raise awareness. She raised a total of £29. Thank you very much, Elaine :)




Donations
We have received this week some squares, fabric and thread - thank you very much to the anonymous benefactor :)

Also thanks to Helen who has sent us in some small squares. We have collected several too-small squares over the years and we will eventually make them up into a one-off small square emergency quilt :)

Many thanks to Brenda who has sent us in a metre of Aida.

Also thanks to those who have sent in cash/cheque/Paypal donations, it is really appreciated. Gaynor has been ordering some border fabrics in time for the 2012 quilts this weekend out of your kind donations :) (See Fabric page for details)

Quilt News
Two quilts were delivered this week!

Faith L's quilt:



Ollie K's quilt:



We also had a large train square from Sue in Birmingham that was too big for a quilt, so Katherine made it into a pillow-case for Ollie's twin brother Louis, so he wouldn't feel too left out:



With many thanks to all the stitchers and Melanie and Janet respectively for assembling the cross stitch squares into blocks :)


Magazine stardom!
We are appearing in two magazines this month! Firstly we are appearing in Cross Stitch Crazy magazine Issue 159 (January 2012) with photos of Freya and Evan:



We are also appearing in the December 2011 issue of Craft Seller magazine with a photo of Freya and Brendan with his Tatty Teddy quilt :)



We thanks both magazines for their exposure of LQUK and welcome anyone joining us from either publication. :)


Children in Hospital
Freya and Caitlin have recently been in hospital, but are now home. :)

Scott has been in hospital for an operation in hospital, but is doing a little better now, although he has developed a line infection :(

We are keeping all the kids in our thoughts and hope they will be on the mend soon. :)
