Quilting for the London Olympics 2012

It's not at all unusual for groups of friends to get together to make a quilt for someone they know to comfort them or perhaps when they move away so it came as no big shock to discover that there is a big drive to make 500 quilts for the London Olympics!
The idea is to give a gift of a quilt to each competing nation. Every donated piece will be given a number. Each country will draw a number, tombola stylee, and the maker will be informed of the country their work has gone to.
Kaffe Fasset, designer extraordinaire, is the patron of the project.
A book is being published to include all the quilts given and is going to be on launched at Olympia this month.
If you or a group of friends think you might want to donate a quilt take a look at the following link - http://www.agiftofquilts.co.uk/1246.html.

This week I have been making samples for my workshops that will begin in the Autumn. I am so excited about this and will keep you updated as this venture continues!

In the meantime I am trying my hardest to source a couple of templates that are only available in America.......

Have a fabulously crafty week my lovelies!
