MORE DONATIONS FOR MAY

At our May meeting in Stouffville, three new members joined in and had a lot of wonderful items to donate.

I am hoping to see this happen more often so we would have lots more for our fall donation this year. The ladies are all so creative and I am always amazed by the beautiful baby clothing they bring in.

Ulrika; I new this would be a good thing for you, you did a great job at running the Stouffville group. Thanks.

Now here are those wonderful children clothing I mentioned,  

This one is from a friend of Kathy's, a beautiful baby outfit.

As usual from Kathy, a gorgeous baby sweater.

Markham May Meeting

Even though it was a beautiful day outside (finally), we had a good turnout for our Markham group meeting on Sunday. Here are the photos (you may need your sunglasses for one or two!).

Christine has been busy again! This time she's made a number of beautifully decorated kids' sweaters.

And here she is with a lovely blanket.

Jane provided this diagonally striped blanket. We know how much work she put into it! Great job, Jane!!

Barb made a variety of things this month. Those scarves are really soft.

She also donated a hat and a bereavement dress.

Sunglasses time!! You sure couldn't miss anyone wrapped up in this blanket!

Liz's group of friends made all these hat and scarf sets for us. Thank you very much, ladies!

Liz donated these beautiful little jackets.

And these hats and scarves are from Margret,

and so is this blanket. She certainly has been working hard.

This anonymous donation came from a yard sale. Thanks to the homeowners who gave it to us when they found out it was going to charity.

Ulrika made these Angel Pockets with little hats.

As usual, Ulrika also had one of her bags on hand. Isn't it just lovely as well as practical.

Paramjit certainly was busy, too! She made all of these, plus

this pretty little blanket, and

a gorgeous set of a blanket, jacket and hat. Absolutely wonderful work. Thanks so much!

We look forward to seeing everybody at the next Markham meeting on June 2.
