After months of searching our quilting group finally found a suitable venue for this year's exhibition. Sadly, for the third year running, we were only able to have it for one day, which was a great shame, as a lot of work goes into setting it up, and taking it down again. This year, we restricted ourselves to all the quilts we had made for Project Linus. In all, we had 65 quilts on dislay, roughly half made by our group, and half made by the Octagon Quilters in Westport, County Mayo. We were able to make donations to the Neo Natal Unit at Sligo General Hospital, the Women's Refuge in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, and the Rainbow Group in Sligo. This last organisation helps children to come to terms with bereavement.We found the whole process very rewarding, and had lovely reactions from the Recipients concerned, so much so that we have made a start on more quilts to repeat the process.
