New arrivals and re-opening times!

Firstly, thank you for all your comments - our new baby girl, Kira, arrived on the 13th May, and is now home safe and sound. We have been in the Singleton hospital NICU until last Thursday, so are a bit behind with the re-opening of the shop - she had some serious lung problems at birth, but she is fine now, and very cheeky with it - as can be seen, she is very fond of blowing rasbrries! We are now open for orders, however to give the maternity cover (my brother Geraint!) time to learn the ropes no orders will be dispatched until next week.

Obviously, our heartfelt thanks go to the staff of the NICU, and I would like to draw attention to the charity Project Linus, which is one that we quilters can contribute to. Although just a small part of what goes on in the special care baby units, having seen the quilts used by premature babies, and my little one, first hand, I can honestly say they are very much appreciated by parents and staff alike.

  3. Very special congratulations to you all!! Little Kira is adorable and will no doubt be spoiled with quilts and much more!
    Just take your time to get completely well. We are all patient and want you and Kira to continue in the best of health.
    My late mother's birthday was the 13th May and I support Project Linus so there's something we already have in common!

  6. Congratulations! So pleased she is now well (and a very good choice for a birthday if I may say) I had a baby in NICU and then hospital for a total of 14 weeks - she is now a very healthy and loud nine year old!
