The group project for this year started early, at our Christmas meeting in 2024!
As part of our meeting we had a group game, similar to ‘Pass the Parcel’, where those taking part were asked to bring nine three and a half inch squares, suitable for making a quilt, wrapped as a Christmas cracker. They were asked for four blue squares, four green and one any other colour. By the end of the game those taking part all received a ‘cracker’ with the material and were asked to make up a nine patch block.
The finished blocks were handed over to Judy Elson who worked her magic on them to produce two 48” square quilts. The finished quilts were donated to our charity for this year, Age Concern New Forest. (ACNF).
Carol Marley from the charity came to collect the quilts on 12th October. She was very pleased to receive them, saying they will look at the best way of using them to raise funds and ‘to do justice to the time and effort the group have put in to producing the works of art’
Pictured above is Judy, Carol and Wendy (group Committee Chair), with the quilts.
