Margery, I live in Spain. I would love to make and donate quilts, but can’t find any info of a Spanish ‘Linus’ type project. Do you know if there is a sister group to you here? Thanks in advance Sue x

Hi Sue
I’ve not heard of anything in Spain sorry. xx

I make for Linus down here in Swindon and they go off to the Bath and Wells coordinator. Most of the time I scale down quilts I have seen when I don’t need another full size quilt for personal use…Sometimes there are “because I can” quilts and I’m also creative with my scraps and selvedges. The poem is lovely.
-
Sewing for Linus is very rewarding and every co ordinator appreciates the quilts made by our volunteers

Thank you Abigail for sharing your preview of the show. The exhibits look wonderful. Thank you also, for picking mine to show in your blog, I feel honoured x

It’s a pleasure! The theme was interpreted in so many different ways, which is what is great about a theme, and I wanted to give wide spread of quilts. I still have a lot more photos I didn’t put up – but thinking about it can we ever really have too many quilts?!
