"We'll Meet Again Quilt"

Details:

  • Measures:1.4 mt X 1.4 mt.
  • It comes with a modern silver frame and glass front.
  • It has been signed by 65 famous Ambassadors.
  • The frame has a very small nick (see photo).

Background on the makers:

Back in 2015, War Veteran Dennis Gimes had a great idea to make a quilt covered with the signatures (now stitched in) of famous celebrities including Dame Vera Lynn, Sir Roger Moore and Joanna Lumley to name but a few. He then donated it to Alabaré Christian Care and Support that incorporates Homes for Veterans and Community Self-Build in order to auction it and to help homeless Veterans.

The quilt has been beautifully made by the London Quilt Makers, backed and framed.  

It was signed by 65 people who believe ‘no Veteran should call the street home’, these include people from the world of entertainment (Dame Vera Lynn, Simon Pegg, Richard E Grant, Joanna Lumley) from Politics (Edwina Curry, Rt Hon. Paddy Ashdown, Stephen Harper ex-PM of Canada), sports (Lester Piggott, Alex Stuart, Carl Fogarty, Michael Vaughan) and those who have served (Simone Segonin and Sir Redman Watt). The quilt was also signed by a group of Chelsea Pensioners who served in WW2, along with our beloved Dame Vera Lynn and many well-known and celebrated celebrities.

The list of names and signatures is available upon request.

The quilt will be sold on Friday 10th July to mark 80 years since the start of the Battle of Britain. By buying this quilt, not only you will own a unique collectors item, you will also be supporting those Veterans whose battle is not yet over.
