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 !
