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

Day is Done
Gone the sun
From the trees, from the hills, from the sky
As we go, this we know
God is nigh.
The Good night, peaceful night
Till the light of dawn shineth bright
God is near, do not fear
Friend, good night.
Thinking of beautiful Knitting and her family. Love to them. xxx

The blanket for cathpip
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

The Blanket for minmooch
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
