Denise Inkson wrote a new post, The Cheap Procrastinator – Open the window and come in for a chat! 8 years, 1 month ago
Mental health is becoming more into focus within the media. I felt impassioned to write this mini blog. For those that normally follow my blogs. They know that I look at ways to enjoy this wonderful world of textiles…

If I was new to the craft and read your post it would encourage me to ‘open the window’ to learn more. Really ‘opened my eyes’. Thanks you Denise

Glad it inspired you. Thank you.

Well said, Denise. Mental ill-health in its many forms rarely just disappears – but a kindred soul (especially one who shares our love of fabric!) can help a sufferer feel a little less alone.
-
I agree, that’s why I wanted to write this. As people are becoming more aware and hopefully will remain less hidden.
-
-
I love that you are rewarded and both rewarding with your craft I agree people are put off by the cost of crafting and unless they are enlightened by others keep up the good work. Jan

Thank you. It has been a life saver for me at times. This was the reason I wanted to share with others and write this blog.

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
