Welcome all to 2023!
The first edition of KAS Snippets is live on the Forum and Gloria has provided us with so much information; fundraising for posting your parcels, tracking the activity in The Barn form receiving parcels to sending out blankets, mailing updates from the UK, 2022 year end financial information, KAS Shop items and so much more.
Andrea has once again outdone herself creating this amazing masthead featuring a row from Wendy's blanket titled Summer Fun. Summer Fun is Wendy's 166 completed blanket for KAS. Amazing! This is for our new theme we are running every other month, "What's On Your Hooks and Needles"

I was able to send a parcel today (1st August). Sent it by 'Standard' mail which should hopefully be quicker than Seamail (I think it goes Airmail part of the way). Hoping it will arrive soon!
