January came and went and saw us doing our bit for charity.

Again it was York Hospital Special Care baby Unit and this time we are making small quilts for them. Each small miracle that spends time in SCBU is given a small cover to shield them from the bright lights and strange noises that surround them. Whilst they lie cocooned in their incubator the cover is placed over the top and it later accompanies them home. A little bit of normal comfort in a strange and stressful situation, both for the baby and their parents.
Members used the time at the meeting to work on these quilts and I hope by the July meeting we will have a big pile for a special 'Show and Tell', that we can donate to the unit at a later date.
So keep up the good work everyone.

This month, February 22nd, we are trying our hand at Trapunto and Shadow Quilting. Another evening to craft and chat with like minded people.
