Teresa Anna Quilt – Raffle Winner
Dec 13th
Congratulations to our lucky winner.
The Teresa Ann Quilt being inspected by the winner of our Breast Cancer charity raffle winner. Took a while to arrange the handover … but the result was a happy one.
Jill’s mother bought the winning raffle ticket without telling anyone, so one very happy daughter on being told she had won something she had not entered.
But, we are sure that it has gone to a very worthy home.
Thus far, we have raised over £1800 for Breast Cancer Research.
Some “pink” fabric items remain in our shop in Corris Uchaf (Upper Corris) in mid Wales. All the proceeds from these items will also be donated to Breast Cancer

Just realised that this is the 4th year that I’ve attended this prestigious quilting festival in Carno, and the 6th year the event has been held
Enjoyed every moment, met many new quilters and I have really enjoyed seeing your creations, quilts and otherwise.
Also, I must commend your choice of fabrics in your quilts (I think I may have recognised some I have previous sold you!!!!)
Anyway, another resounding success – here’s to next year….
PS – to all of you who bought tickets from me for the draw on 26-July-2009 to raise funds for Hope House Hospice and BBC Children in Need— Sorry, but better luck next time.
The group also presented 6 lap quilts for the charity Linus UK.
As you missed out on the Carno draw, tickets for the Teresa Anna Quilt in aid of Breast Cancer Research are still on sale in the shop. The draw for this charity quilt will conclude the “Pink Weekend” at Corris Craft Centre on 25th October 2009

Teresa Anna’s Quilt
May 31st
This quilt is for all families & friends of loved ones who have undergone the treatment for Breast Cancer.
Some have fought the fight, only to fall at the final hurdle, some are still fighting.
Why the ‘Teresa Anna Quilt’, well my friend Teresa is one of the latter, still fighting! but what a fight it is.
Last August Teresa was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and since that time has undergone an operation, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy and has just started on another chemical barage to her weakened body… yet through all the pain and discomfit she can still laugh and see the funny side to most things in her life. (and still plays a mean game of Dominos)
With your help I can use this Quilt to help the research into cures and ways of helping people like Teresa.
OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
I would like to complete the quilt by October so the sooner you can return the Square to me the better.
The return address is

NB… Could you enclose the square in a plastic bag… being mindful of the weather.
If you have to fold it to post it can you be minimal.
Flat or Rolled would be best.
Thanks
