The proceeds of the sale will ensure we can donate more quilts.
Yesterday at my local Spotlight I had a conversation with a lovely lady called Meryl.
She was enquiring, what I was going to do with all that fabric that I was in the process of buying. I quickly told her about Shannon's Army and what we do. Blow me down she gave me her address, and said come collect a quilt later today. Thank you Meryl !!! You are a treasure.

Well what a busy time it's been. Got a message through the website the other day from one of the Nurses at the local Hospital, we did a drop there in the Chemo Unit a little while ago. One of the patients enjoyed her quilt so much she donated a cutting mat and a ruler and a couple of beautiful charm packs for Shannon's Army to use. Thank you so much!!!
Hoping to do a drop soon so will need to find out where we should go this time. Hope life is treating you all well.
Love
