    Hello everyone,

    I sent an afghan out yesterday.............but forgot to take a picture.   I got home at 11:15 Monday night (spent a week taking care of DD in Georgia) and had to be on the road for noon Tuesday.   Someone, please help me find my thinking cap

    We do need some names for recipients.

     I have a few rows completed on another afghan....I'll remember to take a pic before I mail this one out.

     Again, thank you for help with the project.

    Madison, where are you in Georgia?  I am in Alpharetta...Maybe we can have lunch together one day...As far as the afghan squares go,  what type of yarn are you all using a fingering weight or worsted weight? What size crochet needle and  where so I send them again???   I am so forgetful........hugs.

    Hi Lucy,  I can answer some of your questions.  We use any type of yarn as long as it is washable.  The squares are 7 x 9.  There is no "specific" needle size as many of us crochet differently than the other.  You can send them to Madison, Vickie, purpleMB or myself.  Just let us know when you have some ready to go.  We'd love to have you join us. 

    Madison - THANK YOU for coming up with this project.  Without your original idea, we wouldn't be doing this at all. 

    I have one started but am working on a baby afghan as well.  The baby shower is the 6th!  Hello?  I don't have even 1/4 of it done yet.  This baby may get it when it's born.

    Hugs

    Hi everyone, Madison is safe and I spoke to her earlier.  I'm sure she'll check in later.

    I finished this afghan yesterday.  I need to wash & dry it and then box it up.  Thanks again to everyone for their help.

    Thanks everyone,

    Madison - my cousin Becky is making the ribbon ones.  I'll send you and Vickie some as soon as I get more.  She's not necessarily making them all "pink" though.  

    Lucy - I'll be waiting for your squares. 

    Right now, I'm working on my very first baby afghan.  LOL  I think this is going to be more of a "toddler" afghan.  Oh well.  The shower is Saturday - hmmmm not sure I'll have this finished by then.  The nursery is in a farm theme.  I'm making it striped in red, yellow and blue.  We shall see how it turns out.

    Hugs

    Madison - Glad to hear you're safe!

    Hi everyone. Sorry it has been so long since I've sent squares. I've been making prayer shawls for the shut-ins at my church. A small group of us have been trying to get 60 done by Christmas time. I have been making a few squares between each shawl and should have enough for a box pretty soon. I'll post when I have enough to see who needs them.

    Hugs all,

    Sue

    Another bee-yoo-tee-ful afghan Liz!. I have 18 squares, I promise I will find a box this week and mail them out. I finished a baby afghan (yellow) a few weeks ago and lo and behold the receptionist at work then announces she is pregnant. I guess I know where that one is going. I will just have to go buy some more yarn and start a new one....LOL.

    Madison - Hope things are looking better for you.  I have a name for you.  I met up with an old friend of mine and his wife of 22 years had bc back in 1989 when she was 34.  She found out in 2001 it spread to her bones - she is now on permanent disability.

    I will pm you her address if it is OK.

    Thanks

    MB - I'll send you a few to border.  I'm still working on the baby afghan so haven't worked on our afghans. This is a super busy week at work since the County Fair starts tomorrow.  I need to get a few boxes ready to go to other places so will make one up for you as well.   I'll talk with you soon! 

    Hugs

    MB,  Can you check with Vickie to see if she needs squares?

    If not, send them my way.   I think I have enough for one more afghan (?).

    Thanks so much,

    Hugs, Madison

    nessie,  yes please........send them on....

     Jackie,  thank you so much.   I was stitching one of your squares in an afghan during my lunch hourSmile

    The interview was great...............but due to the Hurricane Gustav coverage they will schedule the airing at a later date.   The individuals working at this station are so professional, and at the same time so very approachable.
