    I keep looking at the photos saying...

    Oh, that one is the prettiest...nope, that one is...oh no...THAT one is the most beautiful. I can't pick! They are all so cool!

    Who is doing the one that looks like a basket weave? Too cool!

    Inquiring minds liek mine and Susan need to know...who did the basketweave patterned one and can you share the pattern? I have some yarn that would look great together like that.

    Vickie, it is so beautiful as always!

    oh gosh ladies...I don't remember where the basket weave squares came from. I actually took them and layed them on top of a contrasting square and crocheted them together!

    Denise and Sue...I got your squares today!! Yippee...they are lovely as always. thank you so very much.

    I am furiously working to finish an afghan and hope to have it done by the weekend.
    Love and hugs to all

    I received a beautiful surprise yesterday.Just in time for a rain storm. I wrapped myself up and listened to the rain outside and felt all of you holding me up and all around me. It was very special and meant a lot to me. Cancer has changed me in so many ways and I'm having a difficult time now venturing forward through this uncertainty. However, one thing I'm truly blessed and feel fortunate about is having such loving women in my life. An act of kindness and compassion touches so many and continues to circle. I pray for compassion, understanding and most of all a cure. I pray for each of us and believe that the future will be bright. I love you all! Lisa

    I cannot believe I received my very own afghan this morning! What perfect timing! I am truly so surprised and I had no idea!

    Thank you all so very much. I know the time and work that goes into each afghan. I also know the compassion, caring, love and support they're made with. I sincerly do appreciate this very much. I really needed a lift like this today.

    Thanks, you pal

    Vickie and Madison -

    The latest afghan pictures are great! The best part of the project is seeing the reaction from everyone as they recieve their afghan and the visible symbol of our love for each other!

    I have been working on squares as time permits, I have had a few dr's appointments lately so I have had time while waiting for the dr or tests! I have a pile of squares done, and I will send them to the both of you next week when I make it to the post office.


    Hugs,
    Liz K

    Cheri...you are so very welcome. You deserve it.
    Lisa...sending up prayers for you too and you too are very welcome.
    I got squares from Puppy today! Puppy you are a doll. The squares are beautiful and Nathaniel was so surprised at all the little treats you included for him. He says "tell Aunt Puppy I love her" and hung your card on his bedroom door. The watch was perfect as he is always asking me what time it is. He loves it all and told me that the book "wasn't just any book, it was a special one". Thank you and hugs.

    You ladies are the best. Each and every one. Off to get my house cleaned up so I can relax and crochet this weekend.
    Love to all
    Vickie

    Vickie, i think the "basket weave" are some of the ones my Mom did and you put them over solid ones. They look great! I was afraid they would be too open but when you put them together the look really cool!

    Enjoy your afghan Cheri. you know how much love is poured into it. Just think, a few months ago, you had no clue about making squares, crocheted or knitted. Now you have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. You will get through thi snext phase with flying colors and we will all be there to help. Have a good cuddle with Amber under the blankie.

    I swear I'm losing it.. I'm sure that I posted here last night....where is it?!?! I sent pm's to Madison and Vickie and I'm sure (better check!) that I posted on Circle thread about afghans. Maybe I didn't post here!

    Anyhooooo....
    Lisa and Cheri: I am so glad you received your afghans!! As so many have said: enjoy, wrap yourself up with all the hugs and know you are surrounded with all these friends!
