More donations

 Below are a some of the many quilts and quilt tops that have been donated by extremely generous individual quilters and quilting groups. Over the last few weeks, since our charity quilts were stolen, we have received more than enough donated quilts to replace those that we lost. We will gradually finish off all the quilt tops that have also been donated and pass them on to Palliative Care in the future.
