MARION DAVIES

Marion Davies

 

It is with much sadness that I share with you all that after a  short illness, Marion has passed away.

 

Marion was a wonderfully talented and generous contributor to Knit A Square and the children; joining our community in 2017.

 

In an email from Marion to Amy and myself, she wished to be remembered to you all.

 

 

From Marion :-

 

'Working with KAS has brought me a lot of joy and friendship.  Give my love to everyone. 

Love Marion'

 

 

We would love to create a blanket or two in tribute to Marion. 

Although I am unaware of Marion's favourite colour, she created so many fun, pretty, cheerful and child-inspired squares and as such, it would be lovely to knit or crochet some colourful, playful squares in her honour. If you would like to participate, please make a note in your parcel indicating which are your 'Marion squares', so that the ladies in South Africa can gather them all together to create a special memorial blanket.

 

Thank you.

Chaque fois qu'une tricoteuse Kas s'envole c'est toute la communautés des tricoteuses bénévoles qui est en deuil. J'ai découvert l'immense talent de Marion en cette triste occasion et je compte bien réaliser un ou plusieurs carrés destinés à sa couverture commémorative (que je posterai l'année prochaine). Je suis certaine que de là où elle vit maintenant elle ne va pas cesser de nous inspirer et guider nos mains.

Translation of Mireille Réau's reply: Every time a Kas knitter flies away, it is the entire community of volunteer knitters that is in mourning. I discovered Marion's immense talent on this sad occasion and I intend to make one or more squares for her commemorative cover (which I will post next year). I am sure that from where she lives now she will not stop inspiring us and guiding our hands.

Sad news, will miss Marion's exquisite work

[Arlene G.]

thank you for letting us know of Marion's passing.  This is such a loss of a friend.  I will miss her fabulous squares - each one so memorable - the dazzling parrot, the elephants! all so bright and joyous.  I will think of a square to add to her blanket.  Please let her family know how much she meant to us and the joy she brought to the children.

Those are lovely Patricia, very Marion. I'm sure she's looking down and loving your choice of patterns.

[Patricia Underwood]

These are my squares for Marion's Memorial Blanket. I've made the plain coloured textured quarters squares because when I posted a photo of some on the Forum once Marion asked me for the pattern - so I know she liked it. Needless to say the squares Marion made from it were impeccable.

[Arlene G.]

these are lovely.  They will be beautiful in the blanket.

[Bev Jeffery]

These are BEAUTIFUL, Patricia. The textures and the colours are so pretty.

Thank you and to everyone  for sharing your 'Marion moments' with us all.  xoxo

These made me think of Marion straight away.  Beautiful colour + stitch choices xx

I just listend to the podcast episode with Marion and heard her say that she liked lilac. 

Very sad she passed away but glad I listend to the episode. She sounded like a very friendly and happy person.
