Don't be too shocked - here is our weekly report!!

Another good meeting last night, full of crack and laughter. Joining me was Jackie, Heather G, Barbara, Rebecca, Jennifer, Heather, Anne, Rosemary M, Jennifer M, Ann, Yvonne, Margaret H, Hilary and Georgina. My two daughters joined us for an hour (afraid of missing out!!) Barbara brought along a fireside quiz for us and we had all but one answer and all credit goes to Hilary who got the final answer to a burst of cheers and applause!! Well done Hilary - obviously the brains behind our operation.

Donations were fab as always.

Jackie was back with us despite being in hospital for tests all day. She brought with her a selection of goodies for our sale:

Fantastic work everyone.

I love the angels Jackie has made, are they starched? They are fab-u-lous!!

What a huge number of members at your meeting, you must have had quite a party!
Lovely work from everyone as usual - I love the angels with the frizzy hair.

Nice work again ladies...... I loved the little poncho. Soooo cute. Some little girl will love that. Were the Angels hard to do? they look so difficult. Good luck for the sale those things will fly off the table.

Must agree that those angels are truly AMAZING! I would a.sk for the pattern but I already have so many lovely patterns "TO DO" that I will not ask for more! ( Maybe they could be posted for future reference)Sunday, to me, means no more kinitting for Age Concern. So then>>>>>.I will be into "Fund Raising " items (for our groups) then full blast to the winter challenges.

Wow, what an incredible amount of donations and all beautiful. Wishing you the best of luck with your table top sale. Hope it all goes well and you exceed your expectations.

My OH Chris and I looked at the photos today and there were lots of 'wows' from him. We also particularly liked the angels but he was impressed with the curly blanket too. His comments were 'what a special lot of ladies (and men) there were in Loving Hands and how talented'. (I agree with him).

Keep up the good work, all the donations are fabulous.

You have excelled yourselves again NI, lovely craftwork and I hope your sale goes well too.
Keep up the good work as ever Dot

Thanks ladies for all your encouraging posts.

Abi - Jackie lightly spray starched her angels. They are absolutely fab. Though we went home with one less angel and Heather bought one for her Christmas tree.

Thanks again everyone,
