  • Refugee Project

    Refugee Project

    Refugee project posting window is open between November 1st and Easter

    Please read carefully, our refugee project will focus on blankets ONLY.

    Our Refugee project during the pandemic has been incredibly challenging as we have struggled to get items to folk in need. Currently it is still impossible for us to reach folk in Refugee camps as we historically have done, and we long for  the time when this is possible again. At present we are focussing on blankets and blanket squares and are reaching folk in this country. Six or 12 inch squares in good quality acrylic, all ends must be sewn in.

    We are supporting families being resettled from Afghanistan and Ukraine. This is Tania and Maryna from Ukraine, currently living in the UK but busily raising funds for a field hospital and night vision goggles. Truly inspiring women.

     

    Thank you so much for your continued support.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • The Blankets for TQ’s wonderful daughters.

    The Blankets for TQ’s wonderful daughters.

    Our lovely TQ. TwitterQueen. We thought the world of her, she touched the lives of so many and we were all better for it. It was absolutely devastating when she died from ovarian cancer. Fuck cancer. Life was epically cruel to this beautiful woman.

    We send our love and thoughts to her wonderful girls of whom she could not be more proud, her love for them shone like the brightest star, and we think of all who love and miss her everyday. We will remember TQ with hearts full and a big smile as we recall her in a dinner plate sized super sparkly badge at our Hugathon in September 2018. Epic!

    She was a MNer for many years and will be sorely missed by so many of us here. The love and support she gave to so many folk on the cancer support thread was quite extraordinary, even when she was so ill herself. We were constantly in awe of this wonderful, thoughtful, super intelligent, caring, bloody funny woman. She sought to raise awareness of ovarian cancer which is often called the ‘silent killer’. She really wanted more women to be aware of what few symptoms there are and in doing so undoubtedly saved lives.

    How lucky we were to know her. We were so glad to be able to send Woolly Hugs to her three daughters, she herself had contributed to so many, it was an honour. Her three daughters chose their own colour schemes and we hope we did TQ proud. We miss her.  Our original thread is here…

     

    Starting off with some pictures of the blankets all together, then a closer look at each.  Pippa’s in shades of purple, Jess in pink and purple, Bobby (Roberta) in yellow and blue.

    For Pippa…

     

     

     

    For Jess…

     

    For Bobby….

     

     

    Thank you so much everyone xxx
