Stephanie dropped by The Creative Fringe today with a truly heartwarming delivery: 17 beautifully crocheted blankets, each one handmade with love by her nana, Yvonne Back, who lives in Quakers Hill.
Although Yvonne isn’t quite as mobile as she once was, she spends her days keeping her hands busy and her mind entertained — crocheting away while watching her favourite crime shows like CSI, Criminal Minds, and The Mentalist.
Stephanie shared that her “Kookie Nana” ( as she lovingly refers to her) has been crocheting for as long as she can remember. Years ago, Yvonne also ran her own Before and After School Care service for over 20 years — a place where Stephanie spent many special moments growing up.
Yvonne, we are so grateful for the time, care and kindness poured into each of these blankets. Your thoughtful work will bring warmth and comfort to those in our local community who need it most. You truly are amazing.
Thank you, from all of us at The TOTS Blanket Challenge 💙
