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!

  1. Great idea! I have some fabric which would make a good 'stack and whack'/kaleidoscope quilt, I think. I'll take a photo and measure it and get back to you!

    1. This is the fabric https://flic.kr/p/tcuYJy and there's 2m of it. I can only post in the UK, though...
