    The Blanket for Endofthelinefinally

     

    To Knotty and Pistey and all the wonderful mumsnetters who contributed their time, skills and donations to create the most beautiful memory blanket.
    It arrived this morning.

    It is a truly gorgeous creation and I will treasure it always.
    The understanding and kindness I have received from the people on the bereavement board has got me through the worst year of my life.

    As my son’s first anniversary approaches I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

    My thoughts are with all the others who have lost their loved ones and I hope you will all feel comforted by the love and support on mumsnet.

  • The Blanket for Echt

    The Blanket for Echt

    The blanket arrived via the FedEx man about half an hour ago on a cold, grey and windy winter afternoon. (School holidays at the moment). It’s lovely, and is currently draped over the back of the sofa. I’ll take a photo of it when the light is better, but have already sent a pic to our daughter. I’m so very grateful to the MN knitters, knotters and crocheting types. It couldn’t have arrived at a more apt time, quite apart from being close to when DH died, as this is the season when blankets, wraps and throws festoon the front room, the log fire is set going, and I settle down to the recently streamed “Handmaid’s Tale”.

    Thank you for the (woolly) hugs.
    Love, E

  • The Blanket for Hellenbach

     Oh my goodness! It is the most beautiful kind and thoughtful gift I have ever received.
    It’s a work of art and clearly took many people many hours to create.
    I can’t thank you enough.
    It made me cry, but in a happy way.
    Please let me know if you would like a photo of me and the children with it for your Facebook page.
    Lots of love

  • The Blanket for Daffy

    The Blanket for Daffy

    The blanket has arrived today, it is absolutely stunning and I can’t begin to say how grateful I am. The square with the red balloon floating out to sea made me cry. It will be a great comfort to me and I will get so much pleasure from the memories it will trigger.

    Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I only wish I could show it to my husband.

    The Blanket for ImpatientWino

    Oh, my, it’s AMAZING!!!!! The colours are incredible. I have sat and ran my fingers over such clever and beautiful squares, I’ve sobbed and smiled and have wrapped it round me and S and I sat and spotted the animals!

    I honestly cannot believe the effort and skill and the time that people have taken to make this blanket for us, William’s anniversary is only a few weeks away and I felt so close to him today whilst looking at it.

    The bunch of daffodils is just so incredible. I’m so so grateful to the lady that made them, as they aren’t around all year it will be great to be able to concentrate on their brightness in December. They are going to go in a glass vase that belonged to my late wonderful grandma and will take pride of place of my shelf.

    I feel such warmth and love from people that has gone into this gift and honestly it bowls me over. The kindness and support I have received from mumsnet and woolly hugs has been incredible (and in fact better than from some of my own family and friends)

    William and his loss have taught me so much about myself and others this last year and though my heart aches terribly I’m trying to pick up the pieces and find a way through this new life. S is our world and give us a reason to keep smiling through our tears.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Woolly hugs will always have my support. E xxx

    The Blanket for TheDisillusionedAnarchist

    We received Rumer’s blanket on Friday and we just wanted to say thank you so very much. It is beautiful and it made me cry. The rainbows just like her blanket, the elephants after her suits. Incy Wincy spider, the morning town train, the boat and the grey bear including one with his white bow tie, so lovely. We will treasure it. This is a picture of Rumer’s very new brother Sage on Rumer’s blanket.
