Hi Everyone, well the next Linus Meeting is only days away now so a few reminders if you wish to attend:
First, it is absolutely essential that you contact Janet B to organise a time slot to attend!
Once again on arrival members will be asked to:- use the hand sanitiser provided
- check their details
- enter arrival time and sign the form
- wear the numbered lanyard provided
- maintain social distancing at all times
Quilt Labels
Please ensure if you are attaching your Sunshine Linus labels
that they are placed in the bottom right corner of the quilt. This makes the
work of the ladies who sort items on Distribution day
much easier as they can check for labelling very quickly.

Hints, Tips and Tricks
The members at Sunshine Linus are bursting with creative ideas, hints and tips in relation to their field of expertise, so each month we plan to include a tip you may find useful! This month's tip comes from Dorothy and it's especially for our Yarners!
You will need: A saucepan with 2 or 3 litres of boiling water (or larger if you have it).
When
you unpick an item and rip the yarn out, wind it around the outside of
the saucepan. Stop when you reach a join or when it becomes awkward
to wind any more. Loop the end of the yarn around the handle to hold
it. Fill the saucepan with boiling water to within an inch of the
top. Put the lid on and set aside until the water is cold. Gently
remove the hank of yarn and empty the water. You can then roll the
straightened yarn into a ball, like our grandmothers did. (Engage
someone else to hold the hank on their hands for you, if you like!)
