Cross-stitch for charity

For those of you who love to cross-stitch, but have no one to give it to, please check out 'Love Quilts UK' on Facebook. (There are also some abroad as, I think, LQ USA for one).
They have volunteers to stitch squares for them, I think 13"×13", which are then made into beautiful quilts for children and young people who are very ill or/& terminally ill.
My granddaughter received one of their quilts a few years ago.
They have 12 cross-stitched squares and are backed with cotton material in themes the youngsters like, then they're all stitched together with padding in.
All done by volunteers, and the quilts are free but, obviously, some criteria needs to be met!
Donations can be made, too.
The quilts are recognised by hospitals so they can be taken in with patients!
Again, 'LOVE QUILTS UK'.
Please consider them.
