Carol explains, “A team of generous and incredibly capable volunteers, led by Dulcie Quinlan, handmade every resident their own personalised quilt. They were named the “love quilts”, given the time and love that had gone into creating them and the delight, and in some cases tears, with which they were received.

One lady who has dementia had not spoken since her admission.  Her husband and the staff were astounded when handed her beautiful quilt she spoke up and said “what a lovely quilt”.  Her husband cried tears of joy at her happiness.

What a wonderful demonstration of dedication, commitment and passion by Dulcie and the other volunteer quilt makers, and the Anglesea staff who helped to make it happen.
