Let’s Talk About Fabric, a Bear Paw Quilt Co. Blog

Creative Quilting presented Princess Alice Hospice with more than 30 quilts made during the East Molesey club’s annual Quiltathon.

The event is an extravaganza of teaching and quilt making.

For four days, more than 50 people, young and old, get together to have fun, socialise and create a variety of beautiful quilts. All the teachers provide their time free and the sowers donate the fabric.

Julia Lucioni, ward manager at the hospice, was covered in quilts following the presentation from Valerie Nesbitt, Quiltathon co-ordinator, and Isabelle Saulet, owner of Creative Quilting.

Ms Lucioni said: “I am very happy to accept this wonderful donation and I know that all of our patients will be happy to receive a quilt.

“Simple home comforts like the quilts can make a huge difference to our patients.

“I want to extend a thank you from everyone at the hospice to everyone who took part in Quiltathon.

“The hospice relies on the generosity of the community and is grateful for all financial help, gifts in kind and support at our events.”

Creative Quilting will continue its support of the charity at the Late Night Christmas Shopping event in Bridge Road, East Molesey, on November 27.

Visitors can enjoy promotional offers, speciality food and wine and festive bell ringers, with shops open until 8.30pm.

There will be street collections to benefit the Princess Alice Hospice.
