- 29 December 2021 18:30373917Blimey, how big is it? Whilst it might be great for charity fundraising, it might also be a Guinness Book of Record!

- 20 January 2022 20:46374259A quarter done now after many nights and days working on it ,when it is done it and others will be sold off and the money will go to the Parkinsons which my great wife has .There is a very good group in Dover which volunteers run and thank them for the work they put into the running of it meet each week . Each week is a different subject.Andy B, Reginald Barrington and Matey like this

- 15 February 2022 09:21374783Now coming up to a third done now so yes about 1 years work to do on it.
- 22 February 2022 09:17374972finding avery hard one to make this time round
- 27 February 2022 09:27375134Getting up to the half way with it ,but few rows yet to do about 30 for half way
- 8 March 2022 02:573753650252 IN THEMORNING and I am on the halfway mark all going well at this time it will be done by the end of the year I HOPE must say it looks good and yes I will do one more after this and that will be the biggest yet and the last one looking on the labtop to see where in the world it will come from and the main thing is the cost of it
- 16 March 2022 08:34375578Well we are getting there it looking ok if you have spare time I do recommend you try this out for yourself if you have not done one before,try a small one first that will set you back about £25 and not hard to do then if you like making it take it from there.As I said I hope to sale them off at one point with funds going to the Parkinson charity ,it is our AGM this morning up at the Whitfield Village hall at 1030 if you have parkingsons or know someone that does please come along and see for yourself the good work that the volunteers do. Thank you.
- 17 March 2022 03:17375595Iam working to get it done within 12weeks so it can be sold off with funds going to the Parkingsons local group just to let you know in April the local group will be holding a event in River to get funds my wife is making cakes to be sold and the Parkingsons local group hope to have their own singing group doing a few songs.Thank you .
- 25 March 2022 00:49375781Just about to start my morning working o this rug but we are showing sighs of getting there but still weeks away from the end, I do hope one day it will make a few pounds or more for the local Parkingson group .
- 6 April 2022 02:34376127Well now can see the last row coming over the far end of the table but still along way from finishing,but at lease I can see the end.
- 9 April 2022 03:21376226I am hoping some one will put photos of them on the forum ,they are on sale with all the money going to Parkinson,s sorry they are not cheap because of the cost of making them and buying the kits all from overseas.they will be on sale from £100 upwards but all money made will go the charity.I will not take out any funding for the buying or making of them.
- 12 April 2022 11:09376292This should be done by the end of the year and it will be sold off.
