THE END PRODUCT - Blankets

By Gale Bailey MBE

Many of our ladies knit or crochet 6" x 6" squares which are delivered to the Fatima Centre (via the Fatima Shop in Soi Villa) where Sister Louise's ladies sew the squares together to make blankets of different sizes to accommodate small and larger children. The blankets are backed to ensure they keep their shape and made ready for transportation up country. For many years now, Imagine Thailand (check out their Facebook page) has been collecting the completed blankets from the Fatima Centre then takes them up north where it gets pretty cold in the winter. BWG pay for the sewing up of the blankets plus the backing thus providing work and money to the Good Shepherd Sisters who do a wonderful job in the community.
