PARKHOUSE PATCHWORK GROUP has been busy making a beautiful Log Cabin Quilt to raffle at their exhibition in June.
Member Jo Hendy said “The charity was chosen by our Chairlady as her father had a stroke 18 months ago and was treated in the Acute Stroke Unit at North Devon District Hospital. We were aware that they need an ECG machine and we decided to help.”
The quilt is on display at North Devon District Hospital in the main foyer on most Wednesday’s and the raffle tickets are available for purchase Monday to Friday on the Over and Above charity stall.
The Parkhouse Patchwork Group Exhibition will take place at the Parkhouse Centre in Bude from 2nd – 4th June, and will include a wide selection of patchwork and quilted items to view as well as a sales table, raffles, tombolas, demonstrations and refreshments.
The patchwork group based in Bude has over 60 members which meet every fortnight between September and June.
Over and Above Fundraiser Julie Whitton said “Parkhouse Patchwork Group have put an amazing amount of work into their Log Cabin quilt. Without doubt, it must have taken hours to work up and design. We are absolutely delighted the ladies have chosen to support our Stroke Unit with the raffle.”
