The collection, entitled ‘Home Sweet Home’, is the culmination of the group’s months of work at the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea.

Pam Lander Brinkley, founder of the group, said: ‘For the past three years we have chosen a charity and a theme in order to raise funds for a local cause.

‘We have previously raised funds for the Rocky Appeal and Rowans Hospice. This year we wanted to support the Portsmouth Cancer Trust.’

The trust is a fundraising initiative to improve women’s health by supporting Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust in its effort to promote research data gathered from ovarian cancer screenings.

The collection will include a raffle to win one of three full-size hand-made quilts and will be on sale from the hospital foyer from 10am to 5pm tomorrow and from 12 noon until 7pm on Friday.
