On Tuesday 18th February, the Monday Club donated 8 beautiful quilts for Cudeca Hospice to delight patients and their visitors.
 
Every Monday during the summer months a small group of keen needlewomen met at Jenny Stobart´s house in Coín to pool their talent and make patchwork quilts for worthy causes. This year they decided to make quilts for the beds in the Cudeca Hospice Inpatient Unit.
 
After consulting with Cudeca staff, the group decided on designs and colours with the original intention of producing 2 or 3 quilts.However when quilters in the area heard about the project, several other people donated finished or partially completed work to the Monday Club. Their efforts were supported by Cristina Boro from the Entrealgodones Patchwork in Alcalá de Guadaira, Seville, who donated some material and also machine quilted 2 of the quilts.
 
The CEO and Medical Director, Marisa Martin, together with Juan Manuel Lapeira, nurse coordinator Hospice received a representative of the Monday Club, and were delighted to receive such a “talented” gift that will make the hospice rooms cheerful and homely, contributing to make true our special kind of caring.
 
The Monday Club members are: Jenny Stobart, Fiona Kiddle, Val Hewgill, Lesley Thompson, Carole Urwin, Sue Summers and Betty Bruce with help from Barbara Crompton who donated one of the quilts.
