Scraptastic Tuesday - June Link Up

I have been out in my garden almost every day in the last month.  We are celebrating a significant birthday for my husband this summer and I'm hoping we will be out in the garden to do so, hence all the pottering, digging, planting and weeding I am doing.  It is giving me a great tan and I feel fitter - well I would if I wasn't so tired.

Well this is my way of saying that I haven't been up to any sewing to speak of but I'm sure you all have been!

Indeed I will show you some photos I took of quilts that arrived here made for Siblings Together, a charity that reunites children in the UK care system with their brothers and sisters.   So many families are broken up when things go wrong and it is hard for the children to keep in touch but so important.  Every child that attends the charity's holiday camps receives a quilt!  And I am collecting them in my house - it is a great job as you get to see all the splendid work that so many people have contributed to...

These scrappy quilts were donated by Bee Blessed a group of quilters in Northern Ireland who make quilts for charity, and Siblings Together Bee 2; a group of wonderful quilters making just for the charity.  Aren't they fabulous scrappy quilts?  

I just cannot believe the magnificent generosity of the quilting community - we can all feel proud of it and contribute towards making a more caring society!  It's what we do!
