I'm so thrilled to show you the photos from last week when I handed over, on your behalf, a huge batch of LillyBo Quilts to CHICKS at the hospital unit.
As you can see the star of the show is little Toby who zoomed in to the kit bag containing the Nautical themed quilt (made by Janet aka Fairythoughts in Hampshire) and immediately took ownership.
This time we left the quilts neatly packed up in their bags, as it takes ages to pack them away, but it is still an impressive display of which you should all be so proud.
Here's Eddie and me, with Toby, quilt in hand, and he was quite bothered when it had to go back into it's kit bag.
I've got to spill the beans....(Sorry Eddie!)
the children all call Eddie Mr Chick or Mr Chicken!!! Cute!
Toby, aged 3, is such a lovely little fellow and his Mum told me that he is progressing really well, with only 6 months more of treatment left, which is so good to hear.
She was kind enough to allow his picture to appear on this blog.
Tomorrow, look out for Lisa's quilts

Beautiful photos Jo, little Toby looks so chuffed with his quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt’s such an amazing project and it wouldn’t have got off the ground if it wasn’t for you, so it’s a Big Big thanks to you too.

Me again.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say that I received my lovely letter from Eddie this morning.
I didn’t join in with the project because I wanted or needed thanks and I’m sure that everyone else involved feels the same too, but having said that it was very nice to receive the letter and hear personally that what we are doing is making a difference in some way.
Thank you Eddie for taking the time to write to us………..…as if you don’t have enough to do looking after all the children and their families.
