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

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.

“To everyone who has contributed to our blanket ( and especially knotty and pistey), thankyou so so much. It is so amazing and wonderful and the work that has gone into it has just blown us away. I can’t express how grateful we are. Becks has been cuddled under it all evening, examining the squares and squealing occasionally, and now I am. Thankyou again you lovely lovely people xxxx. toria and becks”

I received my woolly hug today. I can’t put into words how much I love it, because words don’t do this beautiful creation justice. It’s not a blanket, it’s a 3 dimensional work of art.

I’ve looked at every single square, and marvelled at them all.

I think I may have mentioned that DH used to make a lot of collages. So to have a big, woolly collage made by you all is the best thing ever.

Thank you also for the lovely cards and sentiments inside them.

It came early this morning, and I took it up to bed with me and had a little snooze, cuddling it.

Heartfelt thanks, love Mantra xxxx

“Thank you so so much,you really do make the world a nicer place to live in, to think you have all volunteered to create a blanket for a complete stranger is amazing,you are all amazing and so thoughtful. My daughter is going to be over the moon when she sees it, and of course each square will tell a story, a different story every night. I really can’t thank you all enough for doing this for us, it means the world. You are all fantastic people with the biggest of hearts. Thank you again. Much love.xxxx”
