The RVI hospital in Newcastle does fantastic work in their premature baby unit including looking after my adorable niece who is now 11 years old and wouldn't be here today without them and they really need some help. They need incubator quilts, just small custom sized quilts that fit neatly in the incubator with the babies. I have given all the details below and if you can donate any quilt by the 31st March 2012 by sending it to The Fat Quarters shop in Blackhall Mill, Newcastle you will be entered into a draw with a possibility of winning Moda goodies. You can contact Kim at www.thefatquarters.co.uk for more information or look on their website.

I am using the Moda Lily & Will II charm pack, with doctors flannel for backing and lightly quilted in the ditch.
If you would like more information please don't hesitate to ask, it is a worthy cause and quilts do make wonderful gifts for all kinds of circumstances.
Pictures to follow.
Does the Newcastle RVI still need incubator quilts/covers and children's quilts for the Great North childrens' hospital?
