July 2013 Square Heart Award Winner-Andrea Palmatier !
This month the Square Heart Award goes to
Andrea Palmatier (Canada)
Andrea has been an active member since 2009.
With her talent and skill with a crochet hook, Andrea has created many beautiful squares and garments for the children of South Africa.
Andrea’s Love and Hope patterns are available in the KASPattern Book
In 2010, Andrea’s marvellous Jigsaw pattern blanket was one of 27 KAS blankets presented to the Soweto Gospel Choir when they sang in the U.S.A.
The Jigsaw pattern is available in the KASPattern Book
Members of the choir, with the blankets wrapped around their shoulders, sang “Oh Happy Day”. It was indeed a happy day when the blankets were given to needy children at the Nkosi Haven, the South African centre supported by the Choir.

Although Andrea has a busy life with work, a husband and 2 young boys, she has taken time to promote KAS through her blog, Andrea Squared. It is always interesting to read.
This is her mission statement:
"I've made a public commitment to crochet one square a day for KAS. My goal is twofold: spread the word for KASCare and warm the children with enough squares for almost 11 blankets. I'm also going to be sending at least one hat per 35 squares and, whenever possible, KASCuddles and GO-Overs."
Thank you Andrea for your ongoing support of KAS and the children of South Africa.

"CreateCare Global has set itself two tasks. The first is physical: to bring hope, support and comfort to children for whom poverty and loss are everyday tormentors. The second, and in our view equally important, is to spread the message to the world."
