Alzheimer quilt project news

Another 83 donated quilts have been added to the Hampden Park/Alzheimers Quilt gallery on my webpage.  These have been donated this week - way to go girls !!  (www.annhillquilter.co.uk).

Also added are the forms you have been asking for: 1. An order form to use when you want to buy a quilt to help raise funds for Alzheimer Scotland.  2. A 'Buy Back' form for those of you who want to buy your own quilt back after it has been laid on the pitch during this mammoth event in June 2013.

We had a great day on St Valentine's Day at Clarencefield making quilts for the project and we are having another day on the 16th so if you are around Dumfries come in and say hello.   We are in the village hall at Clarencefield about 8 miles outside Dumfries on the low road to Annan/Carlisle.   We start at 10 and finish at 4.

I paid a visit to the Scottish Parliament this week to take a look at the exhibition space I have offered at the invitation of Alex Fergusson, MSP.   My exhibition will go on show to politicians, their visitors and staff on the week starting 25th Feb although we will be there on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only. (This photo shows me with David Mundell, MP - I will get one of Alex and I next week - I hope!).

I continue to do lots of talks around the place.  Mary and I were in Moffat last night and are going to Dalbeattie next week and the Dumfries Ladies Lunch the week after.   Classes have started again and I am still busy making quilts for Hampden Park.   Life is never dull.

Keep quilting.......
