    The Blanket for Inaminutenow

    Dear all, I’d like to thank all crafters and everyone else who contributed to our Woolly Hug – it arrived this morning and is a lovely piece. It captures lots of elements which link it to DH and we are truly grateful to each and every one of you for taking the time to produce such a unique item.
    DH first anniversary is coming up at the start of February – it’s incredible how fast the time has gone, when at times I can almost not believe that he has died in the first place.
    We are all doing okay. Thanks again to all of you. It really means a lot! Un-MN xxxx

    The Blanket for PetaO

    Hello,
    Just wanted to say that our wonderful blanket arrived this morning. DS and I think it is so special, he loved looking at all the squares and remembering things about his Daddy.
    I am just blown away by your kindness and the work that went in to producing such a beautiful blanket,
    Thank you so much

    The Blanket for jchocchip

    Thank you so much for the lovely quilt, I really like the colours and the individual squares have so much work in. It arrived yesterday, whilst I was at work, though really wanting to be at the funeral of a very dear friend I met on mumsnet. So a strange day with very mixed feelings. I am looking forward to spreading the quilt out properly at the weekend, I will be cleaning the house and putting up my decorations and can guard it from the cat (!).

    The good days are generally more numerous than the bad now, though odd little things still set me off. This Christmas feels more normal than last year when I think I was still taking it all in. Wishing a Happy Christmas and New Year to all, love Jane x

    Day is Done

    Gone the sun

    From the trees, from the hills, from the sky

    As we go, this we know

    God is nigh.

    The Good night, peaceful night

    Till the light of dawn shineth bright

    God is near, do not fear

    Friend, good night.

     

    Thinking of beautiful Knitting and her family. Love to them. xxx

    The Blanket for Cup and the teaset

    ‘A life filled with love is a life worth living.’

    I wanted to let you know that the parcel arrived about an hour ago. The girls and I have been mesmerised by the Woolly Hug since opening it. So many beautiful squares, we can’t begin to choose favourites. It’s truly a work of art. I have read through the cards and am processing the kindness of strangers.

    I still post on MN from time to time, but under another name. I shall always be thankful for the friends I made there. Love and thanks being sent your way xxx

    “Hello there I am chipmonkey’s DS1.  I would really like to thank all the ladies who helped to make the blanket, I heard that there were about 75 people who contributed to making the blanket and that really touched me, to know that there were that many people who each spent some of their time to make such a beautiful blanket. My younger brothers and I really enjoyed it on our way down to Wexford, it kept us comfortable and warm for the whole trip. I am even using the blanket right now. My mum is very serious about keeping it clean but I don’t blame her. But anyway I am very very grateful for everything everyone has done. Thanks for making such a beautiful blanket everyone, I greatly appreciate it.”
