Merci Amy pour ce mois passionnant. Préparer Noël me fait oublier les canicules à répétiton et les terribles incendies de forêts qui ravagent la France : cela ressemble à l'apocalypse avec des maisons brûlées, des milliers de déplacés et de sinistrés. Grâce au ciel ma région est épargnée et je tricote avec bonheur.
Thank you for snippets Amy ... yesterday Peter and I collected thousands of squares from St. Mary's Diocesan Convent in Pretoria so we will all be very busy in the Barn this Thursday coming. July squares list will be coming next week, and so far we have distributed almost 1000 blankets this year. Winter weather is still with us but should start to disappear in the next few weeks, thankfully - it has been a very cold one this year.
Thanks for all the news and pics Amy. If it's a pink and stripes month it must be Bev's month.
