Autumn Colored Afghan Welcomes Homeless

Love the colors in this crocheted shell stitch afghan.  This will make a child, boy or girl very happy and is also sized well for a nice lapghan for any adult.  This beautiful afghan comes to us from the skillful hands of our good friend, Annemarie from New York.  When we donate afghans to The Homeless Families Foundation they make a wonderful "Welcome Home" gift to those families transitioning from shelter living to their permanent residence.  It's a way to celebrate the move, to congratulate them on making it happen, and a way to wish them the best of luck for the future.

Thank you Annemarie for your continued support of this cause.  We truly appreciate you here on Bridge and Beyond, and I know the recipients do as well.

    Love the colors in this one AnneMarie. I am in awe of anyone who can put this amount of time and trouble into making a gift for someone else, especially someone you dont know. You have a big heart.. It will be loved I am sure. Can be used by just about anyone. Thank you from the Ohio homeless. GOOD JOB.

    AnneMarie you have done an outstanding job on this Afghan! The shell stitch happens to be my favorite crochet stitch! And these are beautiful colors that you used too! The recipient will be very happy to receive this I am sure. Thanks so much for using your talents to help the homeless and working poor!
