MJ's magic blanket.

Awesome I'm welling up xxxx

It looks fantastic.

All joined, just need to be edged before I start bordering....





And I'm not sure if that has worked or not!

Bum! Not. 

Will try and sort it in the morning.

Oh it did post!

And this is an almost tadaaa!
(It still needs the pom-poms but I want to add them after I've washed the blanket)
((I am rather scared of washing the blanket))

Wow! Absolutely amazing!

It just looks amazing!

It's just stunning H - makes me all weepy looking at it!

I'm particularly pleased with the corners and diagonal lines.

J has just had a look, and when I asked him if he thought Stacie would like it, he said "no, she won't like it, she will just love it!"  

Awwwww *heart melt*

That looks amazing, well done all of you xxx

YOu H, are fricking awesome

xxx

That looks amazing! Thank you for having the idea and the skill to do it all xx

Gosh if those of us who are overwhelmed know that it's happening imagine how Stacie is going to feel.

You guys are all amazing.

Wow, it's beautiful!

It's so lovely!

Wow looks fab! x

The blanket has been posted, along with a blanket for Ieuan, a pink hedgehog and a beautiful paper cut card made by mylastrolo, containing a poem by Lady Sue.

May's blanket has also been finished and posted by Pea.

If anybody would like to contribute towards postage my paypal is crocheting crow at live dot co dot uk (no spaces/proper punctuation etc)

Any remaining funds I'll forward on to Jen who is making MJ a beautiful silver bracelet to contribute towards materials.

I hope this is okay with everyone.

I feel somewhat bereft - I've lived, breathed, dreamt that blanket for the last two months - however two months worth of housework is now calling me...

Thank you everybody who has been part of this. BaBsland really is a lovely place.

Thank you H, Pea, ladysue, mylastrolo, Jen and all who've contributed, looks great.

Fantastic. Just fantastic. I'd like to contribute to the postage/Jen if I may. PM me, H xxx

For those of you not on Facebook:


I've adapted a poem that I thought may accompany our blanket ....

It's amazing what a BAB's crochet hug can do.

It can cheer you up when you are feeling blue.

This blanket has been stitched with laughter, love, many drinks

And made especially for you from your friends, the ladies in pink

It's threaded with gin, vodka, tears and prayers

And fastened tight with wine, giggles and swears

This hug is sent to help soothe your pain,

and bring forth the rainbow after the rain.

A booby BABs hug! There's just no doubt about it-

Why on earth should you be without it?

A hug delights and warms, it's fab!

Sent straight to you with strength and love of BABs.

A hug can turn darkness into light

This BAB's blanket hug sent to help in your fight.

Read through the threads with joy and glee,

Because we came together for you, you see!

So snuggle in it without delay

and imagine us right beside you today!
