UNIQUE: Amanda Thomas returns the completed quilt to Maggie Else, who is delighted with the finished product
FIFTY years after it was started, a hand-stitched quilt has finaly been completed, thanks to crafters who laboured over it during lockdown.
Maggie Else, from the Midlands, discovered the part-made quilt while clearing the home of her recently deceased aunt.
She contacted her friend Julia Nelson, a member of the Carlbeck Community Centre, in Lunedale, to see if anyone would be interested in completing the quilt. Fellow Carlbeck Centre member Amanda Thomas, from Mickleton, agreed to help take on the challenge with help and advice from other members including Caroline Upton.
