Time for an update on donated quilts for the Social Bite Village Quilt Drive. This is actually the first one I’ve posted since December 2022! I took a lot of quilts at the end of 2022 as I knew my impending building work and house upheaval would mean I wouldn’t have space to store quilts …
I’m a little later than usual for my annual ‘quilts of the year’ round-up post so this one will also include exciting news for 2023. A restrained amount of quilts for me in 2022 which include 4 charity quilts and 3 quilts made for The Thread House Club BOMs (one of which was also a …
I have another bumper stack of gorgeous charity quilts to share with you today, 16 in total! This is the second batch going to the Social Bite Village this year. A huge thanks to all the wonderful quilters who have donated their quilts! I just did a tally of all the quilts donated since I …

Last week I delivered 12 quilts to the Social Bite Village in Edinburgh as part of the Quilt Drive I started two years ago when the village opened. You can read all about the Social Bite Village, the quilt drive, and my involvement with it in this post. I was recently sent a report with …
