We had an amazing speaker last night at our Little Sutton Sapphires meeting. Linda whitfield who had made a quilt for the 96 people who died at Hillsborough and had donated it to them. In the end the hillsborough families decided it should be something that everyone should be able to view and it was donated to the Museum of Liverpool. An inspiring talk by a lovely lady. Little Sutton Sapphires WI are very proud to have her as a member.
