A CHARITY quilt has raised £816 after it was raffled recently.

The quilt, which was donated to Monmouth charity Hands Around The World after it was made by members of the Wye Knot Quilters group, was raffled by Father Christmas at Taurus Crafts in Lydney on 16th December.

The quilt was made in memory of former Wye Knots member Val Holt, whose fabric ‘stash’ was donated to the group after she died in 2015.

The winner was Monmouthshire resident Mrs Wendy Phillips.
