    The Blanket for WhereDoAllTheCalculatorsGo

    Dear woolly hugs I’m trying to put into words how I felt when I opened the parcel with my big woolly hug in it this morning… Words don’t seem enough somehow, everything I write is an understatement and seems inadequate. I am thrilled yet so sad. I am deeply touched by the care, love and skill that has gone into it, yet wish that I had never needed one to be made for me. I am delighted with all of the different squares; hearts, flowers, butterflies, owls, planes, cars (and margarita glasses of course!) Yet full of pain that I am sat here alone without Bill at my side to share it. It holds a very special place in my heart, I know I will never be without it and wrapping myself up in it feels amazing. Yesterday would have been our wedding anniversary, it was a difficult day and I was wracked with sobs of misery and pain. Today I feel more at peace. Thank you x

    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

    Thanks to everyone who had an input into our wonderful Wooly Hug. Its beautiful, and so big and warm and snuggly and heavy.

    There is so much detail in every square, and I keep finding new details that I havn’t seen yet.

    The kids & I had a trip to RHS Wisley today, which was one of our special places, we used to go there as a family and have a picnic

    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

    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
