Crocheted Afghans for Homeless Families Foundation

 Bright and Beautiful!  Many thanks to our good friend AnneMarie from New York for crocheting and donating this colorful afghan.  Look at all the colors!  It's a ripple and everyone loves a ripple.  This is less pointed then a ripple and looks like soft waves to me.  Truly lovely.
This beautiful turquoise shell stitch afghan is soooooooo pretty.  Do click on both pictures folks so you can see the details of these beautiful afghans AnneMarie has crocheted.  Can you imagine the smiles of the lucky recipients!

As always, thank you for your long time support and generosity.  Please keep up the good work.

    You've got some generous and hard working contributors there. Here's hoping for some warm weather soon, both for the street people and ourselves.

    Definitely generous crocheters here, Delores. BEAUTIFUL WORK AS ALWAYS ANNEMARIE. love the look of spring in both your ghans. These will be such a nice contribution to whoever receives them.
    We got hit by the big snow machine here last night. All different amounts in the immediate areas. another good day to remain inside and working for the homeless. Anywhere from 2 to 8 inches which is quickly turning to slush. Wont last long I am sure, but more on the way, Good times in MN in March.:+).GOD BLESS THE HOMELESS. Marj in minnesota/ 32 degrees.

    The multi-colored Afghan that AnnMarie made looks really nice, especially the ripple pattern on it :)

    Knitting and crochet, etc. is such as useful talent to have. It's cool that people donated some materials that came from their talents, for a good cause. Also Cheers to you for doing your A-Z theme on matters of homelessness! It is such a tough subject that many people who enjoy the most basic of comforts have misconceptions about.

    p.s.
    I am unsure about permalink url thing you mentioned copying and pasting for your direct link to the theme reveal post. I'll look into it. Might be a restriction on number of characters/length in a url.

    Beautiful afghans AnnMarie! You have made a couple of families very happy with those. They sure will be used in this cold we are still having. Only 30 here in MI, cloudy day. Going into the teens again tonight. No snow in this part of MI.

    Looking forward to reading what you write about your work with the homeless; they are very dear and near to my heart; have done more for them where we previously lived (San Diego area); just relocated to Arizona at the first of the year, still trying to find my "roots" so to speak of where I'll serve. My mom when she was alive was always knitting hats for kids who needed them.
