This is a quilt I have worked on recently with our quilting group the Scissor Sisters from Crosshaven in Co. Cork. We were asked to make a quilt for a fundraiser in aid of the Mater Heart and Lung Appeal. The fundraiser will be on Saturday 2nd March at the Irish Naval Base, Haulbowline and is being organised by a local girl Sarah Jordan who received a heart transplant in May 2012.
We decided to use the Jan Mullen Heartz pattern. Each of us made 7 or 8 hearts using a selection of our own Batik fabrics on a pale Batik background. I added the borders last week. The quilt will be quilted by our local longarm quilter Mary Palmer and will be handed over at the end of February. Overall we are quite pleased with how this turned out and are delighted to be able to help out.
