Stacked on the ironing board are the seven blankets I have made so far for the 60 Million Trebles project. Lady Dorothea Mousevaark is perched on top, inspecting the pile.
Today I drove to Taunton to deliver them to Refugee Aid From Taunton (RAFT) who co-ordinate and dispatch aid via various charities to refugees across the world. I had read on RAFT's Facebook page that they were desperate for donations of blankets, and also summer clothes for refugees in Greece, so I was able to turn out some clothes and light shoes to take along, as well as some toiletries.
At RAFT, Lesley was delighted to receive my donation. In return, she asked me to take some wool that had been donated to make some more blankets. How could I refuse??? More blankets coming up!
That's a lovely pile of blankets Barbara, I'm glad that they were so well received, looks like someone has got more yarn to add to their stash totals haha have a lovely sunny weekend. :) xx
