MINEHEAD Quilters have been putting their skills towards helping sick and traumatised babies, children and teenagers.
They have been making patchwork quilts for Project Linus, a charity that aims are to give the children a sense of security and comfort that can be provided by home-made quilts and blankets.
They are knitted crocheted or sewn by made by volunteers across the UK – including Minehead Quilters.
Project Linus originated in America in 1995 and began in the UK in March 2000.

While the original organisation was started to distribute blankets for a local children’s cancer unit, quilts are also now given to sick, disabled or disadvantaged children.
About 2000 quilts and blankets are delivered across the UK each month.
