Siblings together

A while ago Lynne put a post together appealing for quilts to be made for the Siblings together charity
This is an amazing charity for siblings who get separated when in the care system. Can you imagine: your family circumstances changing so much that you have to go in to care and THEN to find out that you will be on your own, your siblings, who you have grown up with, will be going to a different family. It doesn't bear thinking about and it would break my heart if I thought anything like that would have ever happened to my girls: so why should it happen to other children
I donated my wonky star quilt.  This was the 1st quilt I ever fmq'd and I learnt a lot about fmq!  It's not a big quilt, I wish I had make a bigger one, but I hope someone will make use out of this.  Next year I will make a bigger one - I have no doubt that there will be another quilt making session for this next year too
So go on over to Lynnes and read all the posts from others who made quilts too and also why the charity was started
