GEARING UP TO OUR BIG DONATION DAY

Here we are at the Stouffville Library for the last meeting before our big day. We are gearing up to the last minute collection of goods for those in need. So if you are thinking of donating some thing for our charities in York Region, you can drop it off at Candlelight and Memories on main street Stouffville and Pat will be happy to collect it for us.

This meeting we collected a lot of baby blanket from Tracy, since she was very busy this summer with work. We were very happy to see her, as usual with lots of stuff.

I love these hats, love the colours.

They were made by Barb.







Donna was also away for the summer, and again she crocheted two gorgeous blanket.














This Afghan was put together by Anne, the squares she inherited and it look a long time to finish, because as you can see they are very small squares. But she did a great job putting them together.

At the meeting, she mentioned that it should have a border, so we all decided that a border will look great.

I will post it when it is done.
