What's new today!


Good morning,

On the 29th October, I delivered 5 Shawls to The Grove Care Home where our 'Irene' now lives. She tells me that there were a few Ladies who were in need of Shawls so I left them with her. The Squares in the Shawls were made by Irene herself. I'm sure they will be very useful to them.

 I also left 'Autumn Flowers' with her made by Coral. She desperately needed a Blanket and couldn't stop admiring it. She said thank you Coral.

Peach Delight

Good afternoon to you all!

I would like to thank Charlotte today for sending in  a donation to 'SIBOL'.
A beautiful Sunshine Blanket made in Granny Squares is just perfect for a Resident in one of  the Care Homes I visit. This one is made in simple colours of Peach and White and it surely is a stunner.
Charlotte has worked so hard on this blanket, it's so neat and is a great size too.
Thank you so much Charlotte. It's very kind of you.

1164 Peach Delight many thanks Charlotte!

Grannies Galore!

Good afternoon,

I have received 6 beautiful Sunshine Blankets today made and donated by the AXA Purls Knitting Group.  We have received some real beauties from them in the past too and I would like to thank everyone concerned for making them. Thanks also to 'Modelwidow' for sending them on to me.

The good ol' Granny Squares come in a variety of colours even including sparkly yarn. I absolutely love them. I can just see them lying across someone's bed and I know they are definitely going to add colour to their rooms.  They are a great size for a single bed. What a lot of work has gone in to the making of them. Let's take a look now.

Thank you all very much indeed.

May I remind you please that Sunshine Blankets and Shawls must arrive before the end of November so that I can arrange to take them out to the Homes before Christmas.

As ever, may I thank you for your support.

A new Shawl and Sunshine Blanket arriving today!

Good afternoon and welcome!

I have a beautiful Sunshine Blanket and Shawl to show you which have been sent in by MarilynJG over on RAVELRY. Different panels of stitches make this  Sunshine Blanket very interesting to look at and the colours are bright and cheerful too.  The Shawl is  a good size and will definitely be very useful indeed.
