Cross stitchers needed for children's charity

astral_dolphins

I was recently referred to this website as I'm into cross-stitching and know one of the children on the site. It's called LoveQuilts UK and they organise and recruit cross-stitchers to make cross-stitched squares (of varying themes) which are then made into quilts. These quilts are then donated to children who have been registered on the site and have a life-threatening/terminal illness.

Here's the site - http://www.lovequiltsuk.com/

Personally, I think it's a great idea and know that the children that receive the quilts think they're great too . The quilts are themed according to the child's interests/choice so there are always a range of different patterns to do. You have to stitch one square (or more if you wish), send it in and then they do the rest.

Happy stitching :j

What a fantastic site. Might have a go at one as it seems such a great cause.

Absolutely fantastic outlet for cross-stitchers - I stumbled across this thread on about page 10!

I'm going to have a go doing a Disney character

What a lovely site and idea - I have a question though: Do you get given the pattern or do you need to think of your own design?

I think you have to find your own. You could use one from a book you already have, or maybe from the library, or there are some online if you forage around

What a lovely idea for the kids. Sayaka's quite the cross-stitcher, too!

(But really, G, isn't it enough to see me on NF? You have to stalk me here, too?? )

A few months on and I've done 10 squares! Thanks to the original poster, I'm really enjoying it.
