First Donation for 2021

More afghans from our friend, Marsha M.  You may remember my telling you I filled the car when I picked these up from her some time back and have been working through the pile to launder and block them.  So these 3 afghans begin our count for the new year, 2021.  This bright neon colored ghan is styled with 2 large center squares joined and then edged.  Some youngin will no doubt enjoy this.
This pretty blue and purple ghan is a shell pattern, light and airy and will appeal to a teenage girl or perhaps single woman as a lapghan.  Looks like the ocean to me.  AND thinking about the ocean right now in the middle of winter makes me smile.  AND did you notice sunshine coming through the window on the day I photographed this one.  This style lapghan/ghan is worked side to side.
Another granny square styled with smaller squares (15) and then edged.  These colors remind me of fall and leaf color, or perhaps the period when we all had harvest gold, burnt orange and or avocado green appliances.

I've kept you all guessing how many ghans/lapghans Marsha crocheted over these past couple of years.  Yes that's why the car was so full it was several years worth of her crocheting.  We ended 2020 with her count of 25 and so now she's at 28...pssss, but not done, so please do keep coming back and I will continue to launder and block, as she cares for her husband.

Our 2020 goal for afghans was 24 and we collected and donated 40, so did well with going over goal.  This years goal is 30, the average of our last 4 years.  So, let's see if we can match or exceed our new slightly higher goal.  3 down and 27 more to go.


**The counts on our progress bars are current. All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
