Donating Blue Crocheted Afghans

Look at this pretty aqua blue/ turquoise blue crocheted afghan!  Such a pretty color.  The open shell lacy pattern is very feminine and will put a smile on the face of the lucky lady who receives this.  Thank you Patty C for this thoughtful and pretty afghan.
Who doesn't like blue!  This long rectangular blue afghan will work better for the men folk in the group, and or teens.  Afghans are loved by everyone who receives them.  It's such a wonderful way to say congratulations and best of luck for a brighter future when our homeless families transition from shelter to permanent housing.  Thank you Patty you've put smiles on 2 families faces.

Please keep up the good work Patty!!

Folks, pop back in, Patty's been really busy...there's more to share!

      Thanks Betty, appreciate the visit, and supportive comments as well as the feedback about the captcha, makes me wonder if it's backward.

    A brilliant blue which is calming and happy. Another thing is that one can see the person which may be beneficial to the homeless person

      I like brilliant, calming and happy, not sure I understand Birgit what you mean about the seeing the person? Thank you for your visits.

      Oh sorry, yes that is vague. The homeless are often in dark colours and could easily be hit by a car or they "disappear" in to the cement when they are laying down against a building. Maybe by having something bright on, they will be noticed more. Does that make sense?

    What a grand idea to raise money for the homeless. I've been talking about the dance studio I'm putting in my garage, as I just moved last year. I do about the same as you do. I don't really charge but there is a donation can for money that goes to the animal shelter. I know others who do the same with Yoga studios.
    The afghans will make someone very happy.
