Wairarapa Quilters Guild

The Quilters Guild make and provide chest protector cushions at no cost to us.  Many thanks Ladies!

The cushions are carefully made to an extremely high standard and are designed to protect the chest area of a patient who has undergone heart surgery.

Also keep the cushion handy for when you cough or sneeze.

Pictured from left to right is Jill Nelson of the Master Quilters Guild, Ken English, Heart Health Advocate of Wairarapa Heart Foundation, Wayne McNichol, heart patient, and Jill Trower, Cardiac Outreach nurse and one of the Rehab co-ordinators.

We are very appreciative of the efforts of the Quilters Guild Stitch Mistresses.
