We have 4 quilts all with very different themes. the themes are as follows, FIFI AND THE FLOWERTOTS, HANDBAGS, DEAL OR NO DEAL, FAIRIES, PINK AND GIRLY, ROSES, VIOLETS AND HEATHER. We have 22 deal or no deal boxes to kit up once we get the threads (again lol) We are going to do something fun for the deal or no deal boxes as kind of a thank you for everyones help. We are looking for 22 stitchers for the deal or no deal boxes, We are going to put the kits in sealed envelopes and then mix them up. We will then send one to each stitcher as and when the names come in. there will be one chart with an open box showing the £250,000 symbol and the lucky stitcher who receives that to stitch will win a stitching surprise. all they would have to do is email us so we know who has the lucky chart. If you would like to help with this project or can help with any of the other themes we have then please, please email either mum (jacciy2k@hotmail.com) or myself (viccivance28@hotmail.com)and let us know. Thank you once again to you all for your help and continued support. Happy stitching everyone xx http://www.comfortquiltsforkids.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=2a5af9f15a6dc34b140c41564092671a_4a75ab7f Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:06:39 -0500 Hi all,just to let you know what is going on in the land of comfortquilts.As Vicci mentioned in a previous post,a letter went out to parents at the hospice and as a result we have had new requests for 4 more quilts.If anyone can help with these it will be most helpful.The themes for the quilts are FIFI AND THE FLOWERTOTS, HANDBAGS,PINK YOUNG GIRLY ITEMS,FAIRIES(PREFERABLE WITH SOME PINK IN THEM),DEAL/NO DEAL,HEATHERS,VIOLETS AND ROSES.I think that covers them all but if i have forgotten any i will add them to a new post.As many of you might know ,Vicci is in the process of moving so until she is settled .could any finished pieces be sent to me ,just for the next month or so,you can still e-mail her at the same e-mail address though.hope everyone is having a good summer and are getting a good tan while stitching in the garden,we have had more rain than sun lol once again thank you for all your help in the past and your continued help in the future luv n hugs and happy stitching Jacci and Vicci http://www.comfortquiltsforkids.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=37a2b2820171062d63c0b0cba7939279_4a574685 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 08:47:49 -0500 Hello all we have had a request for another quilt for a young lady called Jo. The theme for this is HANDBAGS!!! as we know the charts for these will be small and are pretty hard to come by we appreciate the squares will not be as big. We are looking for anyone who can help us with either stitching squares or providing any charts that we can use. both would be greatly appreciated. Please contact either myself (viccivance28@hotmail.com) or mum (jacciy2k@hotmail.com)if you can help with either. We have just had a letter go out to families again in the new newsletter from the hospice so we are hoping to have a few more quilts on the go very soon. We also still have the football crest wall hanging on the go and should be receiving some new charts very very soon. Many thanks to you all that have continued to support us and help us with these quilts. Happy Stitching all, luv n hugs vicci and jacci xx http://www.comfortquiltsforkids.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=021fde79860df86b9cfa33cf32db5880_4a3e3f1a Sun, 21 Jun 2009 09:09:30 -0500 Hi all just a quick update to let you know what is going on on the quilt front. We have just received our last square in for Leeanne's quilt so hopefully we should have that one finished very soon, unfortunately the lady doing the last 2 squares took ill but so wanted to do them so that is the reason behind Leeanne's quilt being late. Also the wall hanging is coming along very nicely. We are still receiving permission from clubs at this late stage and so will be ongoing til we get as many as we can. We are waiting patiently for new charts to be given out as Sam is currently studying and sitting exams. We will of course get charts out to those of you who have asked for one as soon as one becomes available. We are also looking to make quilts for some more children. If you know of a child who you think would like a quilt please contact us. I think that's all for now so happy stitching guys. luv n hugs vicci and jacci xxxxxx http://www.comfortquiltsforkids.zoomshare.com/:blog?id=9e27e992fb463a18c8b68da3125718d5_498061bc Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:46:36 -0600 HI ALL, SORRY IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE LAST UPDATED OUR WEBSITE BUT WE HAVE BEEN REALLY BUSY OVER CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR.
