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.

All of these contributions are sublime.   Marion would be so chuffed.    I still have mine to add....... I've managed almost 2 and want to do 1 more.   I'm determined to do a specific stitch but the 3tog stitch proves trying on my fingers, can you please hold on for them + I'll make concerted effort to finish 3 before the end of this month xxx. Pretty please x

[Bev Jeffery]

No problems, Karen. Mine are still sitting waiting to go.....hopefully in the next week or so.

The three tog stitch sounds intriguing....be kind to your fingers.  :)

So many beautiful squares. 

[Arlene G.]

I decided to make some squares for Marion's blanket that can be spacers for all the beautiful picture squares being made by Kas members.  I was inspired by Sharon B to look into my yarn stash and other people's lovely squares.  I think the colours will blend.

Arlene did you post these with the other squares you made for Marion's blanket or are there two parcels? 

[Amy]

Lovely soft yarn in pastel colors.  These are perfect for this Marion's blanket/s.

[Bev Jeffery]

These are BEAUTIFUL and the colours in the yarn so delicate, Arlene. :)) They wii bring a lovely, sweet element to the blanket.

[Pat Zimmerman]

I agree Patricia , they are all beautiful squares.

[Patricia Underwood]

Sharon, Bev, and Amy - This is going to be one beautiful blanket.

[Amy]

Marion provided KAS with lots of flowers and hearts.  Here are my squares for this very special blanket.
