Valentine's day quilting for dementia

You can follow the link www.dementiascotland.org to find out about my project for covering Hampden Park international football pitch in quilts to raise awareness/funds for Alzheimer Scotland.  Alzheimer Scotland have organised a special St Valentine's Day of quilting on February 14th to make a quilt for those who are living with dementia who may simply not remember that they are loved.  This quilt contains the memories of eight people living with dementia.   The centre panel is the logo for Alzheimer Scotland.    Please help if you can.

quilting classes start 30 January

Quilting classes will start again on Wednesday 30th January at 6.30 pm for the Sampler Class.   Other classes will start on Wednesday 20th February with a Charles Rennie Mackintosh style wallhanging.  email me at annhillquilter@btinternet.com if you are interested in any of the classes.   Further details will go on the site next week.

SHARING, GIVING, QUILTING HAMPDEN CHALLENGE FOR VALENTINE'S DAY

Happy new year to all.  It won't be long until Valentine's Day and this year I want everyone to think not only of your own loved ones but of those who are living with Alzheimers.  As you know, I have a project to cover Hampden Park International Football pitch in Glasgow with quilts in the summer of this year.    Alzheimer Scotland have organised a quilting event entitled "Sharing, Giving, Quilting" the Hampden Challenge.   Two days - one goal !  Valentine's Day and Saturday 18th February.   If you can't make a quilt then there are other ways to help.   Donate a quilt.  You can always pick them up in charity shops.   You may have one lying in your cupboard that you know longer use.  I can put it to good use.  You could sponsor the quilts by going to www.justgiving.com/Ann-Hill-Quilt-Challenge   Every little helps.   You could buy a quilt on the day or after the event.   YOU could volunteer to help on the day - we especially need some strong men to lift the bags of quilts on and off the pitch.   The project is entitled "Yes we can - together".  Let's do this !
