- Scrap fabric collection! Please do not throw away any fabric scraps. AgeUK is able to collect and sell these for transformation into new textiles. Please save every scrap and give to Jacquie who will ensure they are bagged and passed onto AgeUK. Although the charity receives only pennies per bag, it is still something for them.
Our first bag of scraps was handed over to AgeUK in September 2025, and further bags have been donated in October, November and December 2025 (two bags). We've started 2026 off with a large bag of scraps in January.
We again decided to make a donation to the Malvern Hills Foodbank at our Christmas Party and the 2025 collection has been delivered. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

The Buckeye Beauty/Jacob's Ladder blocks from our May meeting have been stitched together by Irene to make this beautiful quilt. Many thanks to Irene for the time spent, and to everyone who contributed blocks.
- On show at Quilts UK Malvern
Here is our crazy quilt at Quilts UK Malvern. It's the only crazy quilt in the show, and also the only quilt that's tied, so two very unique aspects. The quilt is almost at the end of a row, well lit, and hangs beautifully. There are also a couple of chairs just opposite, so that people can sit and admire it..
It's finished!
Thanks to sterling work by Teresa and a little help from Bev, Geraldine and Jacquie, the group crazy quilt is now finished; thank you to Irene for the photos. Come along to the Quilts UK show at the Three Counties Showground from 15-18th May and see the quilt in all its glory.
