Christmas Dinners In July

Now, you may know that we have been supporting a nice charitable cause, Quilts For Christmas Dinners. Care-leavers, who tend to be abandoned into the "community" with almost nothing, are treated in various places to a big Christmas dinner, with presents, lots of good food, and fun. Last year I sent a couple of quilts, and this year we have several on the go, these two being the first finishes.
Blocks made by the good hands of the International Quilt Day ladies, from a whole lot of nice fabric samples provided by Michael from  Oakshott Fabrics...
Assembled by the Helens, and quilted, with her usual great skill and style, by Mandy Parks

Today we put the bindings on, and here they are... We won't be sending them in till much nearer the time, as no-one has house room for all of these. If you would like to get involved, there is a Facebook Group here - you need to join and answer questions...

Delightful!
