    Hi Ladies,

    Happy New Year to all.  Finally getting back to crocheting squares.  Who should I send them to?  They need to be bordered.

    Hugs, Jackie

    Jackie,

    MB has been putting the  borders on the squares.

    MB, do you still want to do the borders?    I know how time consuming this is and want to make sure you still have time.

    Hugs, Madison

    Got a call from work this morning --  a pipe burst and everything flooded. It will take until at least WEDNESDAY for the cleanup people to dry stuff out, therefore do not report to work until further notice. You know what that means right? -- more time for knitting!!!!!!!

    It's so good to see everyone.  I'm back to crocheting after the wrist surgery.  I'm currently working on one for my sons friend who was dx'd with leukemia.  She's 17 and doesn't have the best home life.  I do have squares (thanks MB) and will be starting another afghan the end of the week hopefully. 

    Thank you all for helping us continue this project.  We appreciate you all.

    I wanted to let you know that my co-worker Robyn who was a Hugaghan recipient passed away on January 8th.  I'm sure that the afghan brought her a lot of comfort over the past few months.  I just had to say "thank you" again for this project.

    Nancy, I am so very sorry to read such sad news.   My condolences to you and Robyn's family.

     I do pray that all  recipients feel love, support and comfort when wrapped in our hugaghans.

    Hugs, Madison

    Laura,

     I think Liz and I both need squares.  Once I finish the afghan I'm currently working on, I'll only have a few squares left.

     I spoke to Liz the other day and she was working on an afghan and didn't have many squares left.

     Thanks, Madison

    Thanks for the response Madison! I had a 10 hour road trip yesterday - got 3 squares done during it! Of course I wasn't the driver - lol!  I have others that I've been working on since my last batch. Will send them all on Monday.

    Liz - good to see you too! Be well - hugs back.

    This is a picture of the afghan made for and mailed to Lisa in December.

    Photobucket

    The pictures did not come out clear....my camera battery was low and I didn't focus enough before I took the pictures.
