Well done to Gill Pryke of Glass Cuttings at Piggly Wiggly, pictured here with Robyn Day on the left (MUSHKA's driving force, who made 47 blankets from donated fleece) and Judi Joubert in the middle. This amazing lady is an artist and business owner who has a full day every day, and yet made time to fit in co-ordinating her long-held vision of a yarn bomb event for charity at Piggly Wiggly, which looks festive wrapped up in lovingly stitched blankets.
Thank you's are due to so many more also - there have been numerous supporters of this heartfelt drive. From those who donated wool, to Sew What for the wool discount and for being a collection/drop off point along with Village Talk, to the muscle power behind stringing up lines upon which the blankets are displayed, to Increda-Peg for their extraordinarily useful pegs, to Terri at the Piggly coffee shop who has shown bottomless enthusaism and given away litres of coffee for this blanket appeal, to every knitter and stitcher... and the precious folk at Pevensy Place and Sunfield Home who also brought blankets to donate. This has been the success of a whole team.
Hilton Round Table will collect the blankets at the end of the day tomorrow to ensure they reach the most needy communities. How polite of winter to join in by holding back on the chilly weather that is expected at this time of year!
