MEMORY quilts have been donated to Winchester Hospice following a charity's campaign.
St John’s Winchester's Fabric of Winchester project has been collecting quilts over the last few months, made by people of all ages.
Launched in September, The Fabric of Winchester has collected and shared dozens of personal stories, helping to shine a light on the St John’s Winchester Dementia Support service.

The project was led by St John's fundraising manager Maddie Cowell with the help of memory artist Katy Rundle.
On Thursday, January 18, six quilts were handed over to Winchester Hospice.
Maddie said: “What we're giving today is three lap-quilts and three display quilts. They will eventually have a permanent resting place here, but in the meantime we will be offering them to our partners and to other businesses in the community on loan for a month. The idea is to continue to share the stories. So a huge thank you.”
