Haiti Quiltathon - 90 Quilts!


Well done to Chris and volunteers including Di Huck from Patchwork and Quilting Magazine who managed to make an amazing 90 Quilts in 12 hours! Think of all the tea they must have got through!!

Not only did they make the quilts but the sales table and raffle raised about £400 for a local hospice and animal charity. Congratulations to everyone who took part.

Quilts for Haiti 13th March 2010 - Calling all Quilters

If you would like to help out the people of Haiti who have had to cope with many natural disasters in recent years and of course this year with a terrible earthquake then why not join Chris Hammacott and Di Huck and lots of other quilters for a 12 hour Quiltathon in Carmarthen?


Or perhaps you've got some fabric, thread or wadding that you could donate?


Chris contacted us a few weeks ago and we were able to help with various supplies including some UFOs that were lurking in Jean Sewell's sewing room looking for a home! The picture above shows some of Chris's group with some of Jean's quilt tops that they will be able to quilt so that they can go to this very worthwhile cause.
