Raffle to be drawn on 27th November 2015. All proceeds to Busega Scotland.
The idea of the Quilt was born after speaking to Christine about the plight of the children of Mayega.
We as a country have so much and they have so little in material goods. My first thought was to acquire clothing etc. to send out to Tanzania which for me would be quite an easy thing to do, but abandoned this idea after finding out that the goods sent in bulk would be costly to get there.
A new train of thought led me to ask myself what can I do to raise money? What talents do I have? What is achievable? About 2-30 am one morning it came to me, I could make a Quilt. Being a member of Speyside Quilters I have been sewing and doing Patchwork for a number of years, and like most other crafts people I had a large stash of fabric just waiting to be used.
I had everything to start fundraising
It took a few months to make, to no set pattern it just evolved and got bigger and bigger as I went along. Now finished I am going to sell tickets at 50p each, all proceeds going to Busegas.
If you don’t fancy it for yourself think how cosy the dog/cat would be if you won this for his Xmas!!

The Quilt is currently on display at the charity shop on Queen Street Lossiemouth.
