This afternoon I have taken delivery of the most stunning blanket I have ever seen. My husband has been shocked into silence and believe me that rarely happens! The detail and skill that have gone into each square is amazing, you have summed up my daughter Pippa perfectly in every stitch. Pippas brothers are at this moment watching boomerang in their pjs snuggled underneath it. We as a family are so thankful to everybody who has donated or made squares towards this blanket, the kindness and generosity of so many has left us feeling very humble and quite teary. With kindest wishes Catherine xx
It is so completely stunning and I am truly overwhelmed with the amount of thought, work and love that has gone in to each and every stitch. The colours are just amazing and the ideas that are the embodiment of my wonderful Will are just incredible. I tried not to cry too much yesterday but each time I look at it it brings tears to my eyes – tears that strangers can show such love and thought to another person. My Will would have loved it, he would be smiling at all the things that are/were just ‘him’. I keep looking at it and seeing different things each time. And it is so tactile – each square feels different.
It is beyond wonderful and I know that it will comfort me on good and bad days.
Thank you so much to each and everyone of you xxxxxx

And now…it is here.And I’m totally gobsmacked, I don’t know what to say. Pistey spent a lot of time putting labels on as many squares as she could remember or find out from the thread.
It is so beautiful, thank you very much. It is inadequate but what else can you say? Thank you each and every one of you. Thank you to the people who learned to knit or crochet just for this blanket. Thank you to the people I know, and the people I had never heard of. Thank you to Pistey, who brought me the blanket after she had crocheted it together.
Thank you.
Hello you kind and generous hearted people, my woolly hug arrived tonight. It is absolutely gorgeous and huge and snuggly. It’s the nicest thing anyone has done for us, and MrC and I are just so incredibly grateful. We’re (very) cautiously expecting James’s little brother or sister next summer, and hoping that we can wrap him or her up, if/when he/she arrives safely, in all the love and warmth that went into every stitch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for spending time and effort and love on making this beautiful heirloom for us. We are truly forever grateful.
