December 2013 Square Heart Award
This month the square Heart Award goes to
Jeni Nesbitt from Glasgow, Scotland!
AKA, Harrison's Mom
Jeni has been a devoted member of KAS since 2009.
She started the wonderful Yarn-aholics thread here on the forum which is so therapeutic for all of us!
Jeni makes beautiful hats, toys and garments, but her most extraordinary talent is taking the smallest bits and bobs of yarn and turning them into works of art.
Jeni has made many of these gorgeous blankets. Recently, Yumi, a new KAS board member in South Africa found a shelter for older girls in need. This beautiful collection of "Jeni blankets," was given to them for warmth and comfort.
If that weren't enough, Jeni also spreads the word for KAS. Here we see her beautiful blanket which won first prize at the spring Horticultural Fair!
Here is a particularly wonderful photo from Jeni. She decorated her parent's Christmas tree with KAS squares!
Dear Jeni,
thank you so very, very much for all that you do to brighten the lives of the children of South Africa!

Well done Jeni - your blankets have been consistently inspiring and it's great to see them being so well received in South Africa. I still don't know how you do it!

Jeni, I've looked through your blanket pics in the past, and I am amazed at your creativity! Each one is special and unique. I still don't know how you manage to get them through customs though? You really deserve this award! Congratulations!!

Jeni your blankets are always amazing. I just love to see them on the forum. I am so happy you have won the award this month. It was really nice to read that a pile of your blankets went to a shelter for older girls. They will love them to bits and treasure them for life ! Congratulations !

A well deserved award Jeni ! You have set a marvellous example of sharing and caring for those less fortunate. Your fuzzy blankets provide not only warmth and comfort but an extra softness that the children will appreciate in their harsh environment.
