Mama Hen Quilt Complete!

The drive to make 100 quilts for Siblings Together summer camps 2016 continues.

The lovely ladies in the Siblings Together Bee 2 have been helping me put together a quilt full of hens!

11 Mama Hens flew back to Belfast to join my blue Mama Hen!

Aren't they sweet!  And the backing was donated by Sarah (love this generous quilting community).

So that's my ST quilt all labelled and ready to be posted.

The siblings who receive these quilts have been separated by the care system, and get to spend 2 weeks together each summer. The feedback from the charity is that these quilts mean so much to the children who receive them, especially when they realise they get to keep them!

You can read more here about Siblings Together and the stories behind the quilts.

And I'll have another post later this week on how you can help with the ST quilt drive in a super easy and quick way!

Happy Sewing!
