So I am behind on opening, tagging and uploading all of the amazing stuff you've been sending in, both knitted and sewn for our Larga crafting project. I didn't take pictures of all of the sewing materials but let me give you a huge thank you! We have received so many amazing things. In fact, if we have more beads, thread, sewing wallets and bags than we need for Larga, I will ship them to the Iqaluit sewing project - I will be lunching with the head of the project tomorrow, and promise to share more info.
Also, I got a lovely email from our contact in Cape Dorset - he got the stuff. Most of our shipment last month went to the Jimmy Hikok school, so I'm hoping we can provide a bigger shipment to Cape Dorset around the end of January - they have lots of kids there, with 2 schools - all of your beautiful things will get well-used.
Just a caveat before looking at the photos below: I still have some boxes left to open, but here we go with what I opened so far:
 |
| M Rosamond of Waterloo ON sent us these super warm hats. Each one is different and lovely. |
 |
| The two booties came in a box labelled Streetsville ON. The purple blanket came from a mystery contributor. |
 |
| I love the ladies of Huntsville! Karen McCaskill, Bernice Smith and Janet Smith made these amazing quilts. They are beautiful - ladies, they will be so loved and appreciated! The Ladies Who Quilt also sent us the beautiful sewing and knitting bags below. The bags will be so appreciated at Larga Baffin! |
 |
| Tracy in Burlington sent us these great hats and socks. Tracy, are you on revelry? Would love to give you credit! |
 |
| This pretty blue sweater came from Goshen Indiana - there was no name attached. Goshen, let me know who you are, because you're our first contribution from the land of the Indy500 and I want to give you cred. |
 |
| Oma Wade (Olive) in Moncton NB - is this your first contribution? I think it is, and you knocked it out of the park! I didn't want to take everything out of the packaging - the blue sweater is beautiful though! |
 |
| Sandra MacDonald of Stirling ON sent in these great patterned hats and socks. Thank you! |
 |
| Helga Koros of Germany sent in these great green booties. Her blog is at www.myblog.de/danioma |
 |
| My girl Jeanine (DouceAubergine) dropped off these great sewing bags as well as the needle wallets above - they are perfect, Douce! |
 |
| Lancie Chochinov of Ottawa dropped off these great mittens and hats |
 |
| ....And more from the Ladies who Quilt of Huntsville! Karen, Janet and Bernice - these neck warmers are amazing! And the socks and hats below - wow! |
 |
| So these neck warmers came from Joanne Lacroix, aka Jody in Virginia, aka ravname Bettysgirl. They are so cozy - I couldn't resist trying one on. |
 |
| Lynn Walma has been with us for almost forever. I have a real soft spot for her socks - each one is perfect. Thank you for the sewing stuff as well, Lynn! |
 |
| And these beautiful sewing bags came from B Stevens of Toronto ON (quilter28 on revelry). Bev, thank you for the bags above, the booties below, and the other bags, also pictured! |
 |
| And finally, these hats and mittens came simply addressed "For Northern Kids". Whoever you are, thank you for thinking of Northern kids! |
