    Valerie, thanks for sharing such a heartwarming note.  It makes me smile each time we send out a Hugaghan!

    Boo,

    Yes, please.  I used your last heart square in the afghan currently being constructed.

    Thanks, Hugs, Dee

    I've started working on squares again also.  Dee, should I send them to you or to someone on the "border" patrol?  I think it is wonderful to send Cy's Mom a Hugaghan.............any special colors?  If I get some out by the first of the week will that be in enough time?

    I've got one of Cy's last squares, also............It's going into a frame with some other mementos I have of lost ones..............

    Hugs,

    Neesie

    Boo - send them this way unless Vickie needs them.  I just finished an afghan and will be starting another this weekend.

    What a beautiful hugaghan LIZ! It always amazes me how colorful and innovative the squares are. Will someone tell me what the yarn is that makes the argyle type plaid? It is so pretty and looks fun to use.

    I am knitting some squares but slowly because work is busy..

    LIZ good price on the auctioned afghan. I know you were thrilled. Hope lots of money was raised for the event.

    Jacqui,Thanks.  I enjoy putting them together. Most of the squares are Red Heart brand.  The varigated ones make the patterns. You never know what it will look like until you're done.  It's always different. 

    I hear the work thing.  The total raised at the Relay was over $55K.  Pretty good for this town.
