DONATING

Each quilt is hand made by volunteers who have given their precious time to make a quilt.

If you want to support but may not have the time to work on a quilt, you may want to donate instead!

DONATE HERE!

MAKE A QUILT

The Giant HUG will go around the circumference of the church.

It is made up of smaller quilts which will be donated to young adults leaving care.

Each quilt is around 6ft (72″) in length – So we will need to make around 50 Quilts to go around the circumference of the Church!

DID YOU KNOW?

Quilting has long been associated with Lt. Massingham church.

Anna Marageretta Brereton (nee Lloyd) [1756-1819] is quite famous in quilting history. She famously made Bed Hangings from hexagons (see http://brereton.org.uk/brinton/bedhangings.htm). Her family are closely associated with the Church – her son Charles David Brereton settled at Little Massingham and was Rector.

More information about the bed hangings can be found here.
