First World War Centenary Quilt

Post by BC Wench »

I’ve just read this article in the February edition of Family Tree Magazine and think it’s a brilliant idea….

“The First World War Centenary Quilt is a commemorative project with an inspired aim – remembering those that died in World War 1 while also helping injured soldiers today…..”

Here’s the link to find out more http://www.spanglefish.com/FirstWorldWarCentenaryQuilt

So come on everybody, hand over your dosh and get those fingers working with a needle and thread rather than typing away on a keyboard.

What a brilliant project Barb, I think some of us on BCC could contribute in some way too?

Thoughts anyone?

I heard about this last year and i thought what about printing photo of ww1 soldiers and transfering them onto material to make a quit would be different than just names
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
