Hey, it’s finally summer time! Everything blooms and it might be the right time to bring more flowers to our beautiful city.
This is a message from Alyson Dobrota from PBJ Design, the non-profit that works to revitalise public spaces.
Join PBJ Design & Assemblage
on July 16th from 10-4
for a yarn-bombing!
We will be putting crocheted pieces into a flower design on the fence that surrounds the parking lot at Granville, Hollis, and Sackville Streets downtown. We’re looking for any spare yarn, extra crochet hooks to borrow on July 16th, or any extra crocheted pieces we can incorporate into our design (ex. crocheted doilies). Most importantly, we’re looking for volunteers on July 16th to help us beautify the fence. Snacks and drinks will be provided for volunteers!
If you’re interested in helping out or have any questions, feel free to email Alyson at: alyson@pbjdesign.ca.
Lovely, isn’t it? Here are a few links that Alyson sent me to share with you if you wish to make flowers before the event.

“The first two are for basic small flowers, which we could use in any size! If they are smaller, we could incorporate them into larger flowers together on the fence, and if they are larger, they can stand alone. The last link is for a doily, this could be another design that we use for flowers. We’re open to anything!
