Over the last couple of years I have been trying to use up scraps, chunks and small stashes of RSC blocks, making quilts for charity and for my own stash so I have quilts on hand for any new babies in my acquaintance.
I had a pile of 24” square quilts, the size requested by our local hospital so took them to the Maternity ward when I went to the hospital for an ultrasound appointment yesterday.
Hope the babies enjoy them.

I discovered at the end of last year that one of my former Primary School pupils was pregnant, the baby due mid January. I knew where Mum lived but didn’t have a phone number. About 6 weeks ago I managed to track this down via another contact but found the number was incorrect! By this time I was into my ill health problems again, two stays in hospital etc.
I rang our contact again and finally got the right phone number . I found out all the details I needed from the new Granny Julie I was able to embroider the quilt label.
All wrapped up and ready for me to deliver, once I have found a suitable time when Julie will be there to receive the parcel.
I had fun choosing which quilt to give baby Raya as I have been accumulating quite a stash over the past few years from Covid onwards. Many were made for the local Maternity Unit or Project Linus but unfortunately I haven’t found an opportunity to donate them. However this meant I had a lovely wide choice and decided on the Twinkling Stars quilt which was completed in October 2021.
