Rosie in Stitches is the Trading Arm for The Friends of the Rosie.

The Friends of the Rosie are enthusiastic volunteers whose aim is to improve the services the hospital provides by raising money for items that the NHS does not buy. They have a Tea Shop in the Outpatient Clinic and a loyal team who make children’s clothes and toys to sell under the name “Rosie in Stitches”. They are interested in the comfort of all Rosie patients, and supply specially designed furniture, as well as refurbishing wards. In the community they supply midwives with state-of-the-art equipment. If you can spare a few hours a week, or wish to make a donation, they would be happy to hear from you.

The exquisite hand-embroidered double bed quilt that we raffled was presented to the winner at our AGM on Monday 15th April 2013. The raffle raised £542.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The raffle was drawn at 4pm on Monday 4th March 2013 for this quilt.

A lady in Bar Hill has donated 132 squares which she hand embroidered, each with a different flower. John Lewis has donated fabric for the edges and wadding. Another lady spent two months stitching them together and turning them into a quilted bedspread.

The edge materials are a pale lime green and a pink with small white butterfly prints.

The back of the bedspread has large and small print pink flowers.
