New Helping Hands, Afghans for Faith Mission

Easter Log Cabin AfghanDoesn't this afghan look like a big Easter Egg! Lovely Spring Colors. This log cabin style afghan was crocheted by Joanie B in Ohio. Joanie is our newest pair of helping hands. Welcome Joanie, we're thrilled to have you join us and hope to see you around The Bridge often. Joanie is a friend of our friend Cindy whom I know you'll remember when I say Cindy and Rebeccah...the mother daughter team! Thank You Joanie for joining us, and Thank You Cindy for spreading the word and recruiting another pair of helping hands.

    These ghans are lovely!! They remind me of how comforting a ghan was when I was sick, or sad or just learning to stand on my big-girl feet. They look like they would be so warm and soothing, like a cup of hot tea on a rainy day. They remind me of why I learned to crochet - one should never underestimate the importance of something beautiful, made with love to help get us through rough times.

    Yet another lovely ghan. You are not only keeping bodies warm, but keeping smiles on faces that are terribly in need of a smile!

    The afghans are lovely! Looks like a great way to use up leftover yarn. I think the comment malfunction must have gone somewhere else. It seems to be working okay now.

    The Harvest Hill for the nice comment. Appreciate too everyone checking out the comment section. I have one person still that says she's unable to comment; but I'm out of ideas as to why. Thus far she is the only person who's indicated they can't leave comments. Must be at her end,though I'd like to help her with the issue. She'd like to participate in the upcoming contest I think. I had her clear her cache which several people suggested, and reboot. I had her try and leave a comment on one of my other blogs, she did so successfully on Sandy's Space. As you know settings cross the board when you have multiple blogs, so if she can leave a comment there...why would she not be able to here?
