Making Childhood Better

A quilt made in support of The Childrenrsquos Society 2009 Big Stitch Patchwork Competition. Both the Making Childhood Better campaign and The Childrenrsquos Society itself are driven by a belief that every child deserves a good childhood. This quilt features motifs to illustrate aspects of childhood that I think are important for all children today. Clockwise from top left Heart and Flower for love and friendship. House for a safe and happy home. Apple for healthy and nutritious diet. Book and pencils for a caring and nurturing education Tree for plenty of play outdoors Sun for happy holidays, everyone needs a break! The quilt is made of soft flannel in muted colours, with a fleece backing for warmth and increased cuddle factor. It includes some second hand tablecloth fabric from a local charity shop, and the block layout is based on a design by Cynthia Tomaszewski. There is another quilt being raffled on Rogavi in support of this worthy cause. Thanks for your support!
