Last post before I disappear for a couple of weeks Updated with Teddies Escapades!

Latest from Aunty Jane is that she just got back from her Cross stitch Group who have donated some squares and some hand crafted cards so huge thanks to them.
She has posted out to South Africa this week and has been busy knitting teddies in 4ply getting ten little teds out of one ball with still some wool left over WTG Jane
She had a little disaster with the Transport quilt but has rescued that one brilliant job Jane, Im sure I wouldve thrown a paddy and left it lol

Next - Dianes teddy arrived and Jane says he is great and doesn't know what your were worried about Diane Jane loves him.

Finally a huge Thank you to everyone with their continued support and fundraiser support too

Finally a 2nd Post!!!

Hi
Hope you didn't think Id deserted you just that I've not been well.
Anyway here's the update for the last 2 weeks or so with a few pictures too, loads more pictures of everyones beautiful work can be found via the forum in the photos section.
Firstly I need to thank everyone for their contributions and donations, Jane has received
Squares , knitting, handmade cards, stamps ( which help greatly with the postage costs) and some donations for the baking fund for cakes for the upcoming fund raiser in Sept.
So huge thank you to all.

Jane has posted out several boxes to, Africa, Preemies UK and the Royal Berkshire Hospital and she has also sent out wool for the knitted teddies that we are in desperate need off especially 4ply ones as they knit up smaller for the smaller babies that sadly don't survive these go in pairs one with the angel baby and one in a memory box for the parents.
We also need small blankets and little trousers, teddies etc for the Christmas boxes which Jane posts out in September.
Secondly :-
Jane has been working very hard to update the forum , there's still a few tweeks to do but she has done a great job considering its her first ever time and she did it all on here own ( Fab work Jane we are all impressed )
Please come and have a look and let us know what you think.
Below are a few pictures of items that have arrived and/ or been posted as I said before you can see everyones work in the Photos section on the main forum.
I am off on my hols soon but there should be at least one more post before I go
Thanx for reading and leaving a comment
