A STITCH IN MY HEART
(SAAFA, THE ARMED FORCES CHARITY)
In 2018 the world commemorates the end of
the Great War, WWI, 1914 - 1918.
In honour of the hundreds of thousands of personnel who served, fought, were injured, died or survived, with or without injury I am teaming up with the SAAFA to bring embroiderers a chance to take part in these commemorations.
We are asking that as many people as possible create a stitched "Heart" and donate it to the charity for exhibition and possible sale to raise both awareness and funds for the essential work carried out by SAAFA with servicemen and their families.
The pattern, colour chart, and design notes are all free to download from Facebook, and we encourage you to share, copy and pass on to as many friendS, groups and other stitchers as possible - let's go viral! All we ask is that however may times you wish to work the Heart in memory of your own family members, or just as a beautiful keepsake, you create ONE (or more) Hearts for us. Details of how to donate them and everything else you need to know can be found at:
