Siblings Together Quilt Group are hosting a pre-Christmas destash!

Imagine how great it would be to clear out some space for all those lovely quilty Christmas gifts you'll soon be receiving at the same time as giving a gift to a child at this festive time of year.  Maybe you'd like to contribute to the charity but are unable to commit to making a whole quilt. Well, we're here to help at Siblings Together Quilt group by hosting a pre-Christmas destash .


So, if you have any of the following to destash please leave a comment. Claim something by adding a reply to the donor.  Anything not claimed immediately will be added to the "Donated Supplies" page above until someone finds it.

We'd love to receive:
  • Fabric such as fat quarters, Jelly rolls, yardage, layer cakes etc.
  • Usable sized scraps
  • Wadding
  • Quilt tops that are waiting to be turned into a quilt
  • Orphan blocks
  • Binding
Please do keep visiting to see what's being offered .

If you're on Instagram use the hashtag #siblingstogetherquiltgroupdestash to see what's there too.

The quilts really are loved by the children, this lovely comment was left on our launch post.

"I just wanted to leave a quick comment to say a big thank you to all who take the time to make these amazing quilts! I've volunteered at three of the residential camps which Siblings Together run, and as I'm sure Delma has said before - the quilts mean so much to the children. Every single time they are given, the children wrap themselves tightly around them and are so touched that someone hand-made it especially for them. One little girl was amazed when that someone all the way from Scotland thought about her and made a beautiful quilt that she was inseparable from. They are stunning, and seeing how much it means to them first hand is a blessing! Thank you :"


Thanks so much and enjoy clearing out that space!

Would you like to finish a quilt for Siblings Together?

If you read Nicky's last post about the lovely quilts she made from orphan blocks and from a UFO you'll know that fabulous quilts can be made for Siblings Together from these unwanted items.

We are very lucky to have been donated some unfinished quilt tops and fabrics from Chris Francis and we're looking for some kind volunteers to transform them into quilts for Siblings Together.

Quilt Top 1.

Edit to say we now have a kind volunteer to quilt this top.


This fabulous top measures 77.5 x 69 and requires quilting and finishing. Maybe a long arm quilter would like to work their magic on this one or a less experienced quilter could get lots of FMQ practice.

Quilt To

This beautiful quilt top measures 40" square and therefore needs increasing in size to bring it up to the minimum 50" square which we ask for Siblings Together quilts.




It has a 3D effect provided by these little pockets in the triangles.


The quilt top comes with these matching 2.5 inch strips which I guess are from a jelly roll, and two pieces of fabric measuring 43" by 20" so there's plenty of fabric to bring it up to size.


It would be fantastic if you'd like to finish either of these quilts for Siblings Together as it would be such a shame to leave such lovely work languishing in a bag. Just leave a comment and we'll be in touch.
